Full story

Shannon’s picks for Wednesday, October 27, include:

  • A Massachusetts school district announced it would no longer conduct Halloween activities in its elementary schools. The Melrose Public School system’s decision stemmed from concern regarding some students feeling excluded for not participating in the cultural phenomenon.
  • #SHIBARMY is trending as the shiba inu coin soars, hitting a new record.
  • Criminal charges are still on the table as investigators look into last week’s movie set shooting in New Mexico, according to the Santa Fe County district attorney.
