Some places in the USA are trying to minimize how much African-American Studies appears on school curriculums, but not San Francisco.

@SFPublicPress reports on how a half dozen high schools in the Bay Area will offer the subject as an Advanced Placement course in the upcoming school year, and why educators are enthusiastic about this.

Business Insider created a Flipboard Storyboard, “Yes, Modi won,” which our @NewsDesk featured this week. In it, find stories about what Modi’s underperformance in the Indian elections means for the world’s largest democracy.

Sad times for U.K. politician Nigel Farage, who had a milkshake chucked in his face earlier this week. The Trump pal and anti-EU activist isn’t the first person to be pelted in the name of politics.

@TheConversationUS looks at other notable figures, from Roman emperor Vespasian to George W. Bush, who’ve drawn the ire of dissatisfied citizens.

Fact-checking is a great way to counter disinformation, right? Sasha Issenberg, author of “The Victory Lab” and “The Lie Detectives,” says that’s not necessarily the case. In this fascinating, important interview, Aaron Sankin of @themarkup talks to Issenberg about the new media and political landscape and how narratives are shaped in 2024.

When flamingos have a nest of chicks to care for, their pink plumage can fade. For @thexylom, Emma Schmitt writes about her experience of early motherhood and what the animal kingdom has taught her.

Members of a U.S.-based Christian sect named the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) believe that they’re prophets who receive direct revelations from God —Texan “prophet” Cindy Jacobs once attributed the 2011 tsunami in Japan to the Obama administration’s repeal of "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell."

@TexasObserver reports that this shouldn’t be written off as “fundamentalist nonsense” — the NAR is tied to former President Donald Trump and other GOP luminaries.

@josephcox has written a book, “Dark Wire,” about an encrypted messaging service app called Anom, which is used by drug traffickers but was infiltrated by the FBI and Australian Federal Police (AFP). @404mediaco has published this extract about how a kidnapping was both planned and foiled on Anom.

Think of a publisher, and there's a good chance they'll have a Flipboard account. Now, we're in the process of federating them. Publishers — like just about everyone we know — have a hard time getting their heads around the fediverse and what it means to federate your Flipboard account, so @jejord has written this blogpost. In it, she explains the fediverse, what Flipboard federation looks like, the value of our Magazine feeds, and why we think all this is important. "The fediverse is potentially the One Ecosystem to Rule Them All, and is estimated to grow to 170M users by the end of 2024," writes Jessica.

People on ActivityPub-powered platforms like Mastodon, and Bluesky, which uses the AT Protocol, can now follow each other, see posts, like, reply, and repost them, thanks to the work of @snarfed.org@snarfed.org, creator of Bridgy Fed. @Sarahp interviewed him for Tech Crunch about the future of bridging networks, how to bridge your account from the fediverse to Bluesky, and what to expect when you do.

Local news is crucial to democracy, and it's disappearing — according to a new book by Steven Brill, excerpted in @Semafor, approximately twenty-two hundred papers and their websites went out of business between 2005 and 2021. That's created a vacuum into which "pink-slime" sites have poured. Brill writes about these sites that present themselves as legitimate publishers but are created to boost specific candidates and secretly financed by partisan funders, Democrats and Republicans alike.

In the words of Fatboy Slim, "we've come a long long way together." Here, @miaq breaks down Flipboard's federation journey so far.

"We could [federate Flipboard] with a quick flip of the switch but we’ve chosen to act more intentionally," she writes. "We’re taking measured steps to test, learn, and ensure that everything we’re doing stays true to our values and those of the fediverse. Maintaining quality is top of the list."

I'm giving @Flipboard a try out in the hope that this will eventually become a feed on the fediverse. For now it's a magazine on Flipboard about cassette culture, the history, the aesthetics and highlighting artists who are offering their music on this resurgung analogue physical format. #cassettes #CassetteCulture #music #analog #analogue #CompactCassette #retro #FutureFediverse

What’s your perception of a gig worker? Most are relatively young, but @restofworld spoke to 50 who are aged between 50 and 75 as part of its Graying Gig Workers series. Maureen Zephora Khumalo from Johannesburg, South Africa, told Rest of World that friends laugh at her for doing a young people’s job, but “with harsh economic conditions and my children out of jobs, I [may] even work until my eighties because no one can give me money for free.”

Bruce Springsteen might be the biggest naysayer of all when it comes to giving permission for politicians to use music for campaigning. As “Born in the USA” turns 40, @TheConversationUS breaks down why this is one of Springsteen’s most misunderstood songs.

Solitary confinement is classified as torture by the UN and is a war crime under the Geneva Convention, yet more than 500 people have endured this for a decade or longer in Texas. Damascus James created “Texas Letters,” an anthology and book series featuring the unedited writings of people who have spent months, years and sometimes decades in isolation. @TexasObserver has extracts from the second volume here.

@damemagazine covered the rise of the “trad wife” influencer — where it come from, and why it’s dangerous. “A 2022 Ipsos poll found that almost half of American men surveyed believe “traditional masculinity” is under threat. Many blame feminism, saying it has done more harm than good. One in five Gen Z and Millennial men now believe violence against women is often provoked by the victim,” writes Sarah Stankorb.
