Another quadruple homicide in Idaho less than a year after the ones in Moscow? Horrifying! But this case has almost nothing in common with the Idaho State murders… A man named Majorjon Kaylor

Prof Kathleen Stock is the daughter of a council boss who introduced a four-day working week. Riz Possnett’s mother Liz Watts was working on a PhD thesis on the topic when South Cambridgeshire District Council last year became the first to implement a trial to cut hours while staff remain on the same pay. The 19-year-old’s father Robert Possnett is an Extinction Rebellion protester who has been arrested a number of times.
Following in his footsteps, Miss Possnett glued a hand to the floor of the Oxford Union as the debating society heard from Prof Stock, a gender critical feminist, on Tuesday. The protester was removed by police. Sir John Hayes, Tory MP and chairman of the Common Sense Group, has questioned whether the student activist has gone “off the rails” because she has come from a “deranged bourgeois liberal family, blinded by privilege”.
Ms Possnett was involved in a band called “Working Class Broccoli” but it has emerged that the family live in a five-bedroom home with a swimming pool in a Suffolk village, estimated to be worth £850,000. Miss Possnett studied at the Hockerill Anglo-European College in Hertfordshire, where boarding fees are now more than £15,000 a year, and then in Hong Kong at the Li Po Chun United World College, where overseas students pay more than £40,000 a year. She later began a course in philosophy, politics and economics at Wadham College, Oxford.
Ms Watts is paid a similar amount to the Prime Minister, taking home £156,199 in 2020-21 as the council’s chief executive. It is unclear what her latest salary was, as her four-day-a-week council has utilised a legal loophole to file their accounts late, stating it was because of the impact of the Covid pandemic on staff availability.

said to TheWrap at Sundance when discussing “Shortcomings, “You’ve seen Asians fight wars, you’ve seen them be crazy rich, but have you seen them at a diner eating a sandwich?” Of course, “The Modelizer” seems to offer up more crazy rich antics, but every demographic should have their wealth fantasies and Mad Libs-worthy romantic comedies too.

Monet painting in Sweden this week, claiming they are ruining everyone’s days with the actions, even those who agree with them on the issue.Co-host Joy Behar ripped the recent climate stunt as “annoying,” while co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin agreed, calling it “counterproductive” for climate activists.Whoopi Goldberg rebuked the protestors, declaring that vandalizing art is “not your job,” even if the earth is suffering. The points came up while the co-hosts were discussing “Eat, Pray, Love” author Elizabeth Gilbert postponing the publishing of her new book, “The Snow Forest,” due to Ukrainian critics slamming it for being set in Russia.Though the book has nothing to do with Ukraine’s current ordeal at the hands of its invaders and merely provided Russia as a setting for the work, Gilbert delayed the release indefinitely, citing the pain of the oppressed Ukrainian people.The ladies disagreed with Gilbert caving to critics and mounted a defense of not stifling art simply based on the politics of the day.They then applied that point to the recent string of climate activists attempting to vandalize great western art in galleries across Europe.Most recently, two female climate activists were arrested in Stockholm, Sweden for throwing a paint-like substance on the classic Claude Monet painting, “The Artist’s Garden At Giverny” at Sweden’s National Museum this week.The painting was covered with glass, but museum staff have reportedly been analyzing the piece to see if any damage occurred.The attempted act of vandalism is one of many similar climate change protests, aimed to shock bystanders into taking the threat of climate change more seriously.Though even the liberal ladies of “The View” insisted that these protests miss the

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large The official 2022-2023 TV season ended on May 24, according to Nielsen and as you may have seen via my annual TV series rankers (which I posted on Monday), we’ve got the wrap on this year’s winners and losers in the good ol’ fashioned linear TV world. Football, “Yellowstone” and procedurals, oh my! But we’re not living in a good ol’ fashioned linear TV world anymore. Television didn’t grind to a halt on May 24, and the Memorial Day weekend gauntlet of finales and premieres (!) was a fine reminder that TV no longer plays by the rules of a Nielsen calendar. Three of the biggest on-screen events of the year all took place on Sunday night: The series finales of HBO’s “Succession” and “Barry,” as well as the mind-blowing Season 2 ender for “Yellowjackets,” which hit Showtime’s linear channel that same evening.
Showing off their love. T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach were seen packing on the PDA while enjoying a Memorial Day weekend date in New York City.

Brent Lang Executive Editor Family audiences turned out in force, propelling Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” to the top of the box office over the Memorial Day weekend. The film, a live-action remake of the 1988 animated favorite, earned a splashy $117.5 million over the four-day holiday. It ranks as the fifth largest Memorial Day debut — last year’s “Top Gun: Maverick” set a new record for the holiday with its $160.5 million launch. At one point over the weekend, it looked as if “The Little Mermaid” might even open north of $120 million, but ticket sales flagged slightly. For Disney, the film’s popularity is a testament to its strategy of digging deep into its vaults and rebooting animated titles as live action movies, something it has done successfully with the likes of “Aladdin,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Lion King.” Waiting out on the horizon: Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, the Oscar-winning director of “Summer of Soul,” is helming a remake of “The Aristocats” for Disney.
A24’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus-starrer You Hurt My Feelings will top an estimated $1.7 million in limited nationwide release for the four-day holiday weekend, at the high end of expectations on 912 screens. That puts it at no. 8 at a domestic box office where Little Mermaid is making all the waves.
