Thanks GBH for kicking off the thread.
I'll start the links with this fascinating update on progress in editing genes in living cells to cure genetic diseases

What's up? The Salem Horror Film Fest, that's what's up.
We talk to someone who oughta know about why we sometimes enjoy being scared and even pay money to feel that way: https://www.wgbh.org/news/arts-culture/2023/04/21/celebrating-horror-and-finding-belonging-at-salem-horror-fest #newstodon
Flipboard Culture Desk@gbhnews What an interesting read! Fascinated by the explanation that watching horror evokes a sense of dread that, as a shared experience, can help people feel less alone.

For #Newstodon Friday, we're going to share two pieces:
The first from the archives because it dovetails so well with GBH's excellent horror feature.
In it we try to get to the brain science of why we love to watch the same tv shows over and over

Plus: Allison Hantschel's column on the media scolds annoyed by inclusive language <sigh>.

one of my colleagues is building a beat on #disability issues and the work coming out is excellent.
Here's her piece on what happens when an airline breaks or loses a person's wheelchair: https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2023/04/20/you-literally-stole-my-independence-what-happens-when-an-airline-breaks-a-wheelchair #newstodon

Texas Observer@gbhnews @damemagazine @TPR @azpm @thexylom @TheConversationUS @wausaupilot @STAT This is such an important beat and one we'd like to cover more. I've known way too many #disabled people with horror stories about damage to their mobility devices while flying!

Thanks for kicking the #Newstodon party off on this sleep Friday, @gbhnews... all the 🫖 in the world won't wake me up today ...
Today, we want to share @sarahutch's story on the frightening human costs of the recent, unprecedented ruling blocking access to the #abortion medication, #mifepristone: https://www.texasobserver.org/the-the-path-to-a-safe-abortion-gets-narrower-again/

volkrisThat’s not what the ruling does, though.
To point out that the FDA broke the law in its processes surrounding the approval of this drug doesn’t block access to the medication.
We SHOULD BE calling on the president to fix compliance with the law and Congress to reevaluate the law and probably reform it, but the distraction of focusing squarely on the court doesn’t get us anywhere.
There are laws that I believe are too restrictive on medications, including this one. It’s not the court’s problem that they’re having to work with bad laws.

"On April 7, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of Amarillo, a Trump appointee, issued an unprecedented ruling pulling the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the popular and safe abortion pill, mifepristone, effectively removing it from the U.S. market."
Meanwhile, real people are suffering as outlined in our article.
Go directly to the ruling and you’ll see that plenty of press outfits are misreporting what’s actually going on.
Here’s a link to it:

Report warns of rising violence against environmental defenders in Mexico
MEXICO CITY — Protecting the environment is no easy task. But in Mexico, it can often be deadly. The country is seeing a rise in violence against environmental defenders, who suffer everything from intimidation to kidnapping to murder while trying to prevent encroaching deforestation, pollution and other threats to local habitats, according to a report […]
