Excellent stuff coming out of Ipswich. The North Shore hasn’t been this riled up since the pregnancy pact

[Katie Notopoulos @katienotopoulos]

Amazing news coming out of Massachusetts this week, I've been riveted to this incredibly stupid drama. A few seniors on the Ipswitch lacrosse team were photographed holding cigars at their graduation (they were 18yo seniors), which was a violation of the no tobacco policy for the league. They were suspended and the team had to forfiet the semi-finals. Harsh!

But THEN, one of the dads came forward and claimed that he had personally hand-rolled FAKE cigars out of chamomile tea leaves so that they didn't contain tobacco. The dad even gave the pricipal a reciept showing he had bought tea leaves at the grovery store to make them.

The kids mere then un-suspended. Seems like a happy ending where the league doesn't have to admit it loosened the rules, and the kids get to play their final game after a meaningless infraction (a single cigar at graduation is much different than like, vaping!)

BUT NO! Now it's revealed that the principal was suspicious of the grocery store receipt, which had the date and time smudged out. So he went in person to the store and asked them to confirm the receipt -- and the store manager revealed the tea purchase was made days after the cigar incident, only after the parents knew the kids were in trouble.

Suspended again!

Do people know that they can now subscribe to The New York Times for free if they have a Chicago Public Library card? Go to the CPL website, go to the online resources page for newspapers, and they're touting near the top of the page. You just click a link, provide your library log-in information, and it creates a free NYT account for you. Sweet.

Ever since I moved to the DC area I thought we just had terrible Chinese takeout but it turns out I actually just miss a hyper-niche style of food that only exists in New England??? https://t.co/IZ4LnrJHHV

RIP website traffic. Might I suggest investing in newsletters

When Bob Prevost needed to update his mailing address with his bank back home in Chicago, he made the call himself.

The banker told him he'd have to stop by a branch in person. The rest is customer service comedy gold.....

Now THIS is a Friday news dump I can get behind

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

You've been asking for this one for years. We heard you.
We announced a change in AP style at the @ACESEditors conference today: It's now healthcare, one word, in all uses.
We also changed childcare and daycare, closing them up to one word rather than two.
This guidance is live on AP Stylebook Online now.

My ducks may not be in a row, but at least they're having fun. Your ducks probably hate you for making them line up like that.

Happy “Flying Pizza” Day if you’re observing it…

19 years ago today. April 16, 2007, Marathon Day, a fan at Fenway Park chucked a slice of 🍕 at another fan.

It was a custom job.
