The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

My hall closet tends to be a stash place for junk but I got it cleaned out and organized this morning. Not only did I match up gloves, I found my favorite winter hat AND my work gloves. Woo! That will probably be the end of my productivity for the day but I’ll take the win

Robert Redford looked at the movie industry and saw "that the most creative filmmakers were increasingly shut out" and "that if a would-be filmmaker were brown, black, red, or female—forget it; his or her chances of getting a project produced were virtually nil."
So he started Sundance.

More people need to walk through a historic cemetery and count the number of small graves belonging to children. The majority of those deaths are now preventable due to modern vaccines.
SPECIAL REPORT: A large swath of the U.S. currently does not have the basic, ground-level immunity necessary to stop the spread of viruses that had once receded into the past, a six-month NBC News investigation in collaboration with scientists at Stanford University finds.
Data investigation: Childhood vaccination rates are backsliding across the U.S.
A monthslong NBC News data investigation finds that much of the U.S. doesn't have the protection needed to stop the spread of deadly diseases. St. Louis is a window into the problem communities face nationwide.

Ozzy dropped out of school at 15 and turned to crime by age 17 and spent two months in prison.
Afterwards Osbourne's father bought him a microphone, amplifier, and speakers.
Ozzy advertised his wares at a music shop with an ad — “OZZY ZIG NEEDS GIG – Experienced front man owns own PA system."
