Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

a very important superpower you can develop is learning to enjoy having a bad time, it's cool and fun to do shit that sucks
Being unable to tolerate frustration + chasing social media clout gotta be a big reason why ppl jumped on the gen ai machine to churn out slop

In today's edition of "Stuff You Oughtta Know," we're talking about that nifty ledge that's above your fireplace. That thing, gentle readers, is a MANTEL. You set knick-knacks up there, or you might hang festive stockings from it, ready to be filled by whimsical holiday figures. That's a MANTEL.
