Matt’s Take – Reds break losing streak, but issues continue
While the Cincinnati Reds broke their losing streak finally against the Giants, they followed that win up with a very frustrating loss the following day. As I am writing this, they are hoping to pull off a much-needed series win on Sunday, but there are so many question marks with this roster. Can they find a way to win games when they get behind early? At 40 games into the season, the Reds have a losing record. Fine LineThere is a fine line between being aggressive and making silly mistakes on the pads.

‘The Past is Never Dead’ - The Cornell Daily Sun
I am also an Indigenous studies scholar who works on Indigenous critiques of imperialism and settler colonialism as an associate professor in Literatures in English at Cornell. It does not want a vibrant, queer, feminist and grounded Indigenous studies department to exist across colleges and disciplines. To build support for Indigenous studies and Palestinian studies on its campus, Cornell needs to commit to a vision borne from divestment. The students in Cornell encampment have made the necessary connections and understand Palestinian dispossession and North American Indigenous dispossession as foundationally linked. The Cornell Daily Sun is interested in publishing a broad and diverse set of content from the Cornell and greater Ithaca community.

Summer 2023 was the hottest in 2,000 years, study says
REUTERS/Sarah Meyssonnier/FileThe intense northern hemisphere summer heat that drove wildfires across the Mediterranean, buckled roads in Texas and strained power grids in China last year made it not just the warmest summer on record - but the warmest in some 2,000 years, new research suggests. The stark finding comes from one of two new studies released on Tuesday, as both global temperatures and climate-warming emissions continue to climb. Last year's summer season temperatures on lands between 30 and 90 degrees north latitude reached 2.07 degrees Celsius (3.73 degrees Fahrenheit) higher than pre-industrial averages, the study said. "We don't have such data," Esper said. That would account for about 1% of global deaths - roughly the same toll taken by the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Coalition for Mutual Liberation Voluntarily Ends Encampment
The Coalition for Mutual Liberation voluntarily took down its pro-Palestine encampment on Monday, two and a half weeks after it was initially erected on April 25. Supporters held small candles as demonstrators discussed the significance of the encampment for themselves and the people of Palestine. The vigil ended with supporters joining in a human chain, reminiscent of the one formed on the first day of the encampment. Supporters had surrounded participants on April 25 as they passed the 8 p.m. deadline to leave, a cutoff marked with threats of academic suspensions from administrators. CML also pledged to donate at least half of the encampment’s financial support garnered from community members to charities supporting Palestinians in Gaza.
