  8. A quotation from Molly Ivins

       This is a column for everyone in the path of Hurricane Katrina who ever said, “I’m sorry, I’m just not interested in politics,” or, “There’s nothing I can do about it,” or, “Eh, they’re all crooks anyway.”
       Look around you this morning. I suppose the NRA would argue, “Government policies don’t kill people, hurricanes kill people.” Actually, hurricanes plus government policies kill people. […] This, my friends, is why we need to pay attention to government policies, not political personalities, and to know whereon we vote. It is about our lives.

    Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
    Essay (2005-09-09), “Katrina and You,” Texas Observer

  26. A quotation from Douglas Adams

       ARTHUR: You know, it’s at times like this, when I’m trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I’d listened to what my mother told me when I was young.
       FORD: Why, what did she tell you?
       ARTHUR: I don’t know, I didn’t listen.

    Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter

  32. More students head back to class without one crucial thing: their phones

    Sequoia Carrillo, September 1, 2025

    Excerpt: "In Texas, every public and charter school student will be without their phones during the school day this fall. Brigette Whaley, an associate professor of education at West Texas A&M University, expects to see "a more equitable environment" in classrooms with higher student engagement.

    "Last year, she tracked the success of a cell phone ban in one west Texas high school by surveying teachers throughout the year. They reported more participation by students, and also said they saw student anxiety plummet – mainly because students weren't afraid of being filmed at any moment and embarrassing themselves.

    " 'They could relax in the classroom and participate,' she said. 'And not be so anxious about what other students were doing.'

    "The findings in west Texas align with results from many of the states and districts that are heading back to school without phones: Students learn better in a #PhoneFree environment. Getting cell phones out of the classroom is a rare issue with significant bipartisan support, allowing a rapid adoption of policies across red and blue states alike.

    "Some 31 states and the District of Columbia now restrict students' use of #CellPhones in schools, according to Education Week."
