Social media is good for some things, but it does have its downfalls—like scrolling aimlessly until I wind up in such a deep rabbit hole of videos that I forget why I even opened the app. However, one of those rabbit holes led me to Roger Aye’s Instagram profile, @cookingandfishing, where post after post demonstrated his prowess with a style of fluke fishing I had never seen before. Instead of the standard bucktails and Gulp, or squid and spearing, Roger does a majority of his shore-based fluke fishing with jerkbaits designed for freshwater bass fishing.

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.”
