Review: ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ should’ve worried more

CHICAGO - It’s not a spoiler to say there’s a mystery at the heart of "Don’t Worry Darling." This psychological thriller begs you to question what’s actually going on with dazzling housewife Alice Chambers (Florence Pugh) and her doting husband Jack (Harry Styles) who live a picture-perfect, party-forward life in a mid-century suburban oasis known as Victory. "Stay here, where it’s safe" is the one directive given to the women of Victory, as their husbands drive off each morning to work on the "development of progressive materials" under the leadership of the community’s cultish founder Frank (Chris Pine). Except Jack won’t tell Alice what the "Victory Project" actually does; she sometimes cracks open eggs only to find them empty; and a former friend is in the throes of a nervous breakdown about the very nature of reality.

Uvalde school police chief Pete Arredondo defends actions ahead of possible firing

UVALDE, Texas (AP) - Angry calls to fire Uvalde’s embattled school police chief swept through an auditorium Wednesday where school board members faced demands to make Pete Arredondo the first officer to lose his job over the fumbled response to the massacre at Robb Elementary School.The school board was meeting to decide Arredondo’s future, three months to the day after a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers in one of the deadliest classroom shootings in U.S. history.Arredondo was not in attendance but through his attorney released a blistering and defiant 17-page letter that lashed out at state officials, defended the police response to the May 24 massacre and accused the school board of putting his safety at risk by not allowing him to carry a weapon to the meeting.As the board convened into a closed session, some in the auditorium yelled "Coward!" and "What about our children?"Arredondo, who has been on administrative leave since June, has come under the most scrutiny for his actions during the May 24 tragedy.
