‘Chappaquiddick’ is a murky exploration of an infamous political scandal
If you lived through the 1960s, no one has to tell you what the word “Chappaquiddick” means.It's an island off the coast of Massachusetts where, on July 18, 1969, Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts drove a car off a small bridge into a pond, killing its occupant, a young woman named Mary Jo Kopechne.

As detailed in this film starring Jason Clarke as Kennedy and Kate Mara as Kopechne, Kennedy did not provide convincing explanations for many of the night's actions, including a delay of between eight and 10 hours in reporting the accident.Though charges of involuntary manslaughter were theoretically possible, Kennedy, likely because of the clout his family had in Massachusetts politics, was convicted only of leaving the scene of an accident.While the incident effectively ruined any hopes Kennedy had of convincingly running … [Read more...] about ‘Chappaquiddick’ is a murky exploration of an infamous political scandal
NRA shooting game disappears from App Store
A shooting game endorsed by the National Rifle Association has been pulled from Apple’s mobile games store sometime in the last few days. NRA: Practice Range was available on Apple’s App Store earlier this week. But following Polygon investigations into the game, it’s been taken down. The move comes at a time of intense pressure on companies that do business with the NRA. When contacted by Polygon, MEDL Mobile, the company that originally made NRA: Practice Range, was clearly keen to distance itself from the project, saying that it offloaded the title years ago and has no ties with the NRA. Soon after our conversation, the game was pulled from the App Store. We understand the decision to delete the game was not taken by Apple. The NRA’s core membership app is still available on the App Store. NRA: Practice Range is a mobile game, launched back in 2013. It’s a free game that takes players through various ranges and skeet shoots. Players can purchase … [Read more...] about NRA shooting game disappears from App Store
