Parents are concerned with a growing trend at area high schools where students are wearing D20 bracelets indicating they are willing to give any student that asks an opportunity to roll the dice. Once the asker rolls the dice, the wearer is willing to engage in that many minutes of quiet contemplation with the other individual about their collective value outside of capitalism. #Capitalism #MoralPanic #GelBracelets

"Off-duty pilot who tried to cut engines took mushrooms for 1st time before flight, complaint says"
I'm seeing a ton of headlines making a case about the mushrooms.
:catthinking:
The guy took those mushrooms 48 hours prior to the incident. I've not taken mushrooms, but there's no substance I've taken that would affect me that long.
He also admitted to depression, having not slept in 40 hours prior to the incident, having experience the death of a friend recently. These all seem to me more important than the mushrooms.
I'm not saying the mushrooms should be disregarded but they are more indicating of his state of mind, then a cause for the crash.
Even in the article, you find this:
---
Police reported that Emerson did not appear to be intoxicated at the time of the interview, and in a statement Tuesday, Alaska Airlines, which owns Horizon, said neither the gate agents nor flight crew noticed any signs of impairment that might have barred him from the flight.
---
But let's focus on the damn mushrooms, shall we? Because moral panics do sell.

DeSantis's general counsel defined "wokeness" in testimony before a court as "the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them."
Just plug that definition in wherever you see the word.
Banning books has always been a huge negative for me. It's a bad omen. When I was in elementary school the library had "banned" books removed from the shelves. Being a bibliophile that didn't sit well with me and I fought to get access; and eventually did. A small victory, but I credit that experience for determining my political (and religious) affiliation going forward. In highschool we had to read out loud a sanitized version of Romero and Juliet. I brought my own copy. The teacher would nod to me when we reached the missing text and I would read from my copy. My point is we don't have to comply.

SO important, SO perilous to freedom of speech, the poison fruits of #MoralPanic about the net and youth... By @ParkerMolloy:

A very good report on the history of Germany's unique #MoralPanic over Google Streeview (I'm in it), which also reveals that Apple has been doing this without fuss for two years and Google is daring to return.
#MoralPanic, Elders fretted about youth's imagination with novels, too. Give our kids some credit....

Couple of dudes at the dogpark were whining about "cancel culture" and how everyone is always so sensitive these days that you can't say anything and I wasn't having any of it. And they seemed legitimately shocked to face pushback.
Talk about living in a bubble.
Great letter from UCLA iSchool

Great example of what
@alalibrary should be saying instead of extolling it's own virtues and failing to say a single word in support of its president.
Getting past the #MoralPanic in the headline, there is a good discussion of where education should go....

Interesting. There was an attack on a convent (in what is now #SomervilleMA) in the 1820s that I always thought should be better known.
It was an early anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic moral panic, and this writer likens it to an early Pizzagate.

@jeffjarvis We must end this #MoralPanic by encouraging Teens to participate in activity our parents and our parents-parents had their #MoralPanics about.
Let them watch TV, play videogames, listen to rock music, and read comic books instead. #MoralPanic
Limiting teens’ social media feels impossible. But we have to try. https://www.washingtonpost.com/parenting/2023/05/25/social-media-mental-health-parenting/
The surgeon general just went on TV to tell Morning Joe social media is dangerous to youth.
Fifty-one years ago, the surgeon general contended television was dangerous to youth. In both cases, they talk correlation, not causation.
And forty years ago, the surgeon general was contending the video games were dangerous to youth.
