“6% of American users traced the urge to kill themselves to Instagram.”

Facebook has since said that the Journal’s reporting cherry-picked data and that even headlines on its own internal presentations ignored potentially positive interpretations of the data, like that many users found positive impacts from engagement with their products.

thought this was interesting - all those years we demonized & jailed people for using herbal cannabis. Reformers were told, we can’t legalize because “we’ll send the wrong message to kids”. Meanwhile this was going on with zero interference from police and prosecutors & governments. Today the Vatican freely operates its business in cities and town across France while cannabis is still illegal:

Catholic clergy in France likely abused more than 200,000 minors, independent commission estimates

love the sport of hockey and the Massholes who play it!!! :smile: :smile:

Tewksbury police are investigating a reported fight between parents and athletes during a youth hockey game last weekend, officials said Wednesday.

At about 4 p.m. Saturday, police received a report of an altercation at the Breakaway Ice Center, Tewksbury Police Chief Ryan M. Columbus said in a statement.

At the rink, officers learned there had been a confrontation among players from Tewksbury and Raynham following an 18U league game, and parents had become involved as the fight escalated, according to the statement.

At least one player sustained a cut to the face, Columbus said. Police interviewed referees and are reviewing surveillance video from the rink, as well as video recordings of the fight posted to social media, he said.

I feel sorry for this guy…the birders get excited about birds that are out of season or on the wrong continent, but most of them are not going to do well. Good to see this guy is hooking up w/ the local eagles though!

Seriously. It also brings up so many questions.

-Is there something wrong with the bird?
-Are they just adventurous/out to see the world?
-Is this normal and we just didn’t know due to the rarity?
-Where will it go/end up?

Makes me think, is it one of these rogue flights that helped spread cannabis around? Seeds/poop/etc…
