A parent in the Dallas suburb of Prosper wanted the school district to ban a children’s picture book about the life of Black Olympian Wilma Rudolph, because it mentions racism that Rudolph faced growing up in Tennessee in the 1940s. https://t.co/eeeFqRaVS5

@NashvilleSC does Nissan have power right now? Because most of us in East do not…

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

PB&J is acceptable in AP style in all references to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. If we were to spell out the whole name, we wouldn't use hyphens. BLT is OK in all references to a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. No Oxford comma needed in the long version.

RIP, Dr. Matta. The world is sadder without your kindness and quieter without your beautiful voice.

[Pratt iSchool @prattischool]

We are sad to inform the community that Dean Emeritus Seoud Matta has passed away from complications related to COVID-19. He was 83 years old.

@VerizonSupport Did all those things multiple times. 4 hours on hold. No response to phone, chat, DM, FB. @VerizonSupport does not exist. This account is gaslighting us.

[Heather L. Edwards @hl_edwards]

@VerizonSupport I have now spent 4 of the last 28 hours on hold with phone, chat, and Facebook Msg support. I have yet to talk to a human. Any chance at all that I'll get support in this lifetime? Should I just cancel my service now?

All I can think at a time like this is: What will we do without local news?

I have deep respect for them, but the NYT, WaPo and WSJ are not going to cover your communities with this level of detail.

They will not cover by-county updates on coronavirus cases and deaths.
