Jessica Pratt returns this spring from a five-year hiatus with Here in the Pitch, the singer-songwriter’s first album since her acclaimed 2019 LP Quiet Signs.
Ahead of the album’s May 3 release via Mexican Summer, Pratt has shared the first single and opening track, “Life Is,” inspired by the orchestral Sixties songs by bands like the Walker Brothers, although not indicative of the rest of the music found on Here in the Pitch.
“In a way, itʼs kind of a false flag, but I also feel like itʼs a statement of intention,...

At least five people were killed and 25 injured in a deadly mass shooting Saturday night at an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado that has been called a “hate attack.”
Colorado Springs police spokeswoman Lt. Pamela Castro said in an early Sunday morning press conference that police received calls about an active shooting at Club Q at 11:57 p.m. local time. Upon arriving at the scene, officers immediately located the suspect — who the club said was “subdued” by customers — and transported them to a nearby hospital with unspecified injuries.

Fox News is under fire from media observers for hosting a viruently anti-gay group and a controversial author with anti-gay views on Laura Ingraham’s The Ingraham Angle, particularly sensitive issues as cities across the nation celebrate Pride Month.
On Thursday, the Fox News personality and podcast host invited the writer Arthur Shaper to participate in a panel to discuss the popularity of Drag Queen Story Hour, a program where drag queens read children’s story books to kids at local libraries. Drag Queen story hours are “popping up all over the country,” Ingraham warned viewers Thursday night.
On Friday, Fox had guests from MassResistance, a group whose views have been labeled hate by some organizations.
Thursday guest Schaper called drag queens “adult illicit entertainment” and condemned a program adapted by many libraries called Drag Queen Story Hour, calling them “pole dancer story hour” and “porn actor story hour,” according to Media Matters.

Ted Cruz (R-tx) to Democrats like Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-ny) and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-mn). On Sunday, independent journalist Judd Legum reported the league also gave the maximum donation of $5,000 to Cindy Hyde-Smith, the U.S. Senate...

Emma Gonzalez, a senior at Majory Stoneman Douglas High School — where 17 people were shot and killed two weeks ago — is quickly gaining visibility as a gun violence prevention activist. And on Saturday, the teen’s already powerful impact became even more apparent as she surpassed the NRA in Twitter followers.
The 18-year-old rose to prominence after giving an 11-minute speech at an anti-gun rally in Fort Lauderdale two days after the mass shooting, and for standing up to NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch at a town hall hosted by CNN.
