The Class of 2020 still aren't over the COVID-19 pandemic cancelling their graduation. Apparently they never stop bringing it up, according to TikTok. Now their complaints are being used as a punchline. Being robbed? "Did you know that I didn't get a graduation." Slip on ice? "I didn't have a prom, I didn't have a homecoming." Oh, your grandma just died? "Okay, well if you think that's bad, I literally didn't graduate."

Your son is in the exact same position as so many young adults today. As a professor who loves talking to her students-a large majority of whom are 20 to 25-I know just how much COVID has taken away from their ability to connect with people. So, there have to be other young adults in your area who are also looking to widen their social circles.

Like most Americans, my view of homeschooling was framed through the lens of abnormality. My own public-school education was my only frame of reference. Although my own experience wasn't great, it was familiar. It was the system I knew. As a college professor, I regularly saw the academic gaps my students carried with them from their public-school education. Yet even then, I struggled to imagine an alternative. My instinct was always to fix the existing system, not step outside of it.

A GP accused of professional misconduct over his criticism of Covid-19 vaccines and other pandemic measures has told a medical inquiry that believed he could adhere to public health guidelines in his medical practice while still challenging them on social media.

In 1863, during the Civil War, the First South Carolina Volunteers, an all-Black Union regiment composed of many who escaped from slavery, was mustered into federal service at Beaufort, South Carolina. In 1945, Pvt. Eddie Slovik, 24, became the first U.S. soldier since the Civil War to be executed for desertion as he was shot by an American firing squad in France.

but there's something comforting about knowing that even an ultrarich woman can't make a man act right. You can come from a good family, bring a couple of enormous trusts into the marriage, make some kids, build homes in both New York City and Martha's Vineyard if you'd like, but he'll still leave if he wants to. There's something relieving in that obviousness, in that inevitability, as if no one can truly get heterosexual marriage right, even those with all the resources in the world.

The COVID-19 pandemic has emptied the world's offices, sending most of us to work from home for the foreseeable future and facilitating a mass migration to the digital workplace. But will it also jumpstart the arrival of our non-human colleagues? AMELIA ("AI + ME = AMELIA") from IPsoft can read 300 pages in 30 seconds, comprehend multiple languages (including logic and context), and is installed in more than 500 banks, insurance companies, and retail giants.

It was on [Dax Shepard's] podcast, and we were doing press ... Somehow the conversation derailed into bathing habits, and then we started talking about how we all don't bathe our children very often, and/or ourselves. Like, I shower every day, but I don't wash my hair every day. I don't find that to be a necessity,

A downtown Toronto long-term care home is rebuilding with a new design that considers lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, going beyond the province's standards but some say those standards are out of date. Right down to the placement of garbage cans, the new design of the Rekai Centre's Cherry Place aims to prevent the spread of viruses and prioritize residents' emotional and social needs, according to the centre's CEO, Sue Graham-Nutter. We never wanted our residents to go through this ever again, she said.

We had taken every precaution we could to avoid it. I have MS, which can react in unpredictable ways to viral exposures. My husband knows this very well, which is why I'm perplexed and furious that he thought it better to stay on the good side of our son by not allowing me to decide for myself whether I wanted to walk into a potentially deadly situation.

Covid-era policies initiated by the previous Conservative government include the furlough wage subsidies, 'bounce-back' loans, the Eat Out to Help Out programme and one-off grants. They were credited with propping up the economy throughout the Covid lockdowns, however, there has been criticism that the speed of the roll-out of financial support and a lack of eligibility checks led to widespread error and fraud.

Det Garda Eamonn Cunnane argues it was an "act of kindness with no attempt to conceal or to profit", that led to allegations against him over an unclaimed bike worth €50. He is seeking to overturn a decision by garda superiors refusing the restoration of full pay for a six-month period. A detective who loaned an unclaimed bicycle out of garda storage to give it to a vulnerable elderly neighbour during Covid has successfully applied to the High Court

Even without the specter of covid hanging over us, it's been a long time since my extended family gathered together and had a good old-fashioned Thanksgiving meal. I miss my mother's turkey and my aunt's dressing (she always made two kinds: oyster and non-oyster). I miss my other aunt's collard greens and her black-eyed peas and the sweet potatoes she garnished with marshmallows and pecans. Most of all, I miss my granny's dinner rolls, who no one's been able to recreate since she passed away.

Everybody strives to live an active lifestyle. It may be a brisk walk or a hot yoga class, but nevertheless exercise is a focus for a large part of society. When media was established, this necessity grew exponentially, creating jobs for the experts in this field, also known as influencers. Fitness gurus have ruled the centuries in the media. From the famous Billy Banks in the 90s to 2020's Blogilates, the workout saga has only been on the rise.

LAWRENCE JONES: So Governor, I hear the point you are making, this audience is aware of Mamdani. We've been covering him for months and what he stands for. But what do you say to the Republicans that have concerns about how you handle the pandemic, no cash bail, and some of the things that took place in the nursing home, as well. Will you apologize to those voters? Because that's something that can change this election. What do you say

There are few things in the world that scream indulgence quite like an iconic American buffet. From Golden Corral to Sizzler's, the restaurant landscape was dotted with popular chains that laid out all-you-can-eat spreads at super affordable rates. And while the general decline had started in the early 2000s, the struggle became impossible to ignore during the pandemic. One beloved chain that couldn't survive it was Hometown Buffet.

The former prime minister repeated an apology made previously for things the government got wrong, but said he was proud of what teachers and schools did to cope with the "unbelievably difficult" circumstances. He pushed back on earlier suggestions that there had been no plans in place for closing schools in early 2020, saying he had assumed a "great deal of thought and care" was already going into those decisions by then.
