Apple TV+ "He’s here; he’s there; he’s every-f*cking-where" — He’s… Ted Lasso. But, so far, he’s not on AppleTV+ with more quirky, motivational goodness in Ted Lasso Season 4. The sports show that normalized depression and anxiety, specifically among men, has a giant fanbase. So, pretty much since the announcement of Ted Lasso’s third season, fans have been inquiring about a fourth. And now, it looks like it might actually be happening for real.

Marco VDM/E+/Getty Images Libraries, particularly school libraries, have been the subject of legislation from both sides of the aisle over the past several years. Democrat-led states have implemented so-called “book ban bans,” strengthening protections for librarians and readers while Republican led states have sought to enforce stricter controls on what books are permitted in libraries and classrooms, often accompanied by harsh punishments for transgressions.
