I texted a dear friend one night after a particularly grueling and soul-sapping tussle with a stubborn marinara lid that bruised both my hands and my ego, and made me wonder how I managed to independently feed myself. "A mallet," he told me. Specifically, this rubber mallet for under $12 at Amazon. (Maybe it'll even go on sale as part of Amazon Prime Day.)

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”
