The gunman who allegedly killed at least 10 people in a supermarket in a Black neighborhood in Buffalo left a manifesto espousing "White Replacement Theory," a racist conspiracy theory increasingly popular in far-right and ultra-conservative political circles.
\"Everybody on social media does just take everything for a joke.\" She said she did not get any useful information about her missing pet and is constantly at edge wondering if Peep is in pain or worse, dead.
\"Some people love materialistic things and they don't how to value life. I'm not looking for attention or fame, I just want my chicken back.\"
Khan said her mother has been a rock of support and even though she was at first sceptical about posting the missing poster on Facebook, she relented so that \"the person who took Peep will realise just how much that chicken is of value to me.\"
This newspaper decided to not use Khan's image to protect her from further trauma.
The soft-spoken woman was emotional and on the verge of tears as she recalled her time with Peep. She said her pet lived indoors, watched television, and was at her side for most of the day whenever she is at home.

On April 24, she let Peep outside to mingle with her companions, Springs and Browns, two other layers she bought to keep her beloved chicken company. Sometime between noon and 3 pm, Peep went missing and led to a frantic search in the rural community where hunting is a vocation. She could not find any feathers or even a trail of blood in the days that followed but still clings on to hope that someone stole her chicken and may have her pet alive in captivity.
\"Even if she is not alive, I still want her,\" Khan said. She said the first day without Peep was the hardest as she could not eat or sleep.
Every time Khan goes home she is reminded of the emptiness and silence without the happy chirping of her pet.
Last April, Khan was diagnosed with covid19 which knocked her off her feet.
She said Peep helped her cope during the pandemic an

Scientists have to be brave, and they don’t come much braver than Chanda Prescod-Weinstein. In her glorious book The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime and Dreams Deferred, written in jaunty yet meticulous prose, she makes us fall in love with particle physics.
For this unique work of popular science, Dr Prescod-Weinstein was shortlisted for the 2022 OCM Bocas Prize (non-fiction), and today she takes part in the festival programme of the NGC Bocas Lit Fest.
This renowned, scientifically feisty African-American assistant professor of physics and astronomy at the University of New Hampshire is of Barbadian origin and is the step-granddaughter of Trinidad and Tobago’s outstanding philosopher and historian CLR James.
Like James, her father’s stepfather, her philosophical approach allowed her to see the big picture, so that although her deftly crafted book is about theoretical physics it is a deeply personal narrative in which the author takes us along with her in the task of illuminating the universe with reflections upon the fact that science is not neutral, it is shaped by society and politics, and that who is a scientist is determined by who one happens to be. She confidently allows herself to go where the societal and historical evidence takes her, and we end up with a unique expose about a world in which who can see, who can dream turns out to be a matter of urgent consideration.
The author argues, in response to her revealed theory, that everyone has a fundamental right to understand and experience the universe in all its beauty and complexity, not just the privileged.
The book was chosen five times as either best science book, best non-fiction book or best physics book, won the 2021 Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Science & Technology and was a finalist for the 2022 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award.
This means that the very world she scrutinises and finds wanting accepts her analysis that like in most fields, science is riven by racism, misogyny and inequalities of race, gender, class, nationality and disability that lie deep in social, economic and academic structures.

The first black woman to hold a tenure-track academic position in theoretical cosmology, she writes, “Physics and math classrooms are not only scenes of cosmology…but also scenes of society, complete with all of the problems that follow society wherever it goes. There is no escape.”
For her the only way forward is to create “room for black children to freely love particle physics and cosmology,” and that means, “radically changing society and the role of physicists within it.\" Few of us have contemplated science as power, but it is, and Prescod-Weinstein vividly reflects on the ways in which “Science has become a practice of control.”
For us in TT, where we speak at a very different level about the shortcomings of our education system, the analysis brings us up short. We realise that the

President Joe Biden came out with sizzling jokes during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. Speaking at the Washington Hilton Hotel, where thousands of politicians, journalists, celebrities and guests came to together, Biden took jabs at himself and his opponents, Newsweek reports. The president joked about his own approval ratings, thanking the “42 percent who actually applauded” as he took the stage on Saturday. He also took shots at the press, saying they were the “only group of Americans with a lower approval rating” than his own. Biden referenced headliner Trevor Noah, who described the president as “America’s new Dad.” “Let me tell you something pal, I’m flattered anybody would call me a new anything,” he said. While reminding the audience that he is the first sitting president since 2016 to attend the event, Biden took a shot at former president Donald Trump. “It’s understandable. We had a horrible plague followed by two years of COVID,” he...
