Celery root in a bowl of water.

Having a real “you reap what you sow” moment. During peak pandemic years I got my then-toddler involved in regrowing scallions, garlic, and other alliums. She’s now 8, and won’t let me throw away ANYTHING that we can potentially regrow.
Our kitchen has many versions of this:

The Police Found Messages After Kirk’s Killing. What They Mean Is Unclear.

It was clearly arterial blood. But any news org would wait for officials to confirm before declaring the victim of a shooting dead, if nothing else, to give authorities time to notify the family.

Videos of Charlie Kirk’s Shooting Spread Rapidly on Social Media

Social media companies haven’t figured out how to stop violence from going viral.
(And I have written this exact story after the shootings in Christchurch, Pittsburg, Texas, and countless other moments where deadly violence was caught on camera).

PSA: It’s always ok not to post the violent video, or take yourself off social media if violent videos are a trigger.

Multiple journalists killed by Israeli strikes on Gaza hospital A hospital strike in southern Gaza has killed at least eight people, including four journalists. The attack happened on Monday.

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war.

She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza.

"Once they build autonomous drones and A.I. weapons for the military, they will have little control over how the technology is deployed. That has led to debates over whether more people will be killed by these advanced weapons than traditional ones, three engineers at Google and Meta said."
