The Jesus Lizard have released “I’m Tired of Being Your Mother,” the final post-Rack digital single and the last preview of the band’s three-song Record Store Day exclusive EP, Flux.
“When a friend of mine was about eight years old, living outside of New Orleans, his mother once said to him, in a slow, dull drawl, ‘Im tired uh bein’ yo mutha’,” David Yow shares. “That really struck me. The lyrics are actual quotes of awful things mothers have said to their children. Heartbreaking!!”
Available on black vinyl with an etched B-side, Flux also features “Cost of Living” and “Westside.” The band recently wrapped up sold-out tours across the Eastern U.S. and the U.K., with additional U.S. and European dates kicking off in May.
The Guardian called their performances a “growling, spit-flecked fusion of pummeling songs and acerbic wit,” while Mojo described the band “as titanium-tough and gimlet-sharp as ever.” WXPN simply summed it up as “absolutely feral.”

Three complaints have been made to Ofsted about the Mossbourne Federation, which runs Mossbourne Port Side School, Mossbourne Fobbing Academy and Mossbourne Herd Lane – previously Hassenbrook Primary School, Gable Hall School and the Corringham Academy.
Thurrock Council has also received a complaint against the federation.
However, he said: “This situation has not gone away. I’m regularly getting phone calls. I know colleague councillors at Stanford and Corringham are continuing to get calls. The common theme among the calls is that parents are sceptical and scared to go through the system of complaints.
“I got a phone at 9.25am on Sunday morning. I ended up with a very upset lady who had spent the weekend stewing over a situation concerning a child. It was very distressing and it related to the behaviour of a particular teacher.”
Mr Speight added: “The complaints procedure that Mossbourne has is that you do have to go to the school and that teacher is your first point of call. This lady was in two minds whether to invoke the complaints procedure. In the end she did and it actually went quite well, which is good.
“I just feel we should at some point have an alternative system for parents who are scared and who are worried and do feel, for want of a better word, intimidated. Progress is being made but it may be not as quick as some people want.”
Giving an update on the complaints to councillors, Vikki Hartstean, councillor responsible for children’s services and education, said: “There have been a total of three complaints made to Ofsted since the Mossbourne Federation became the academy trust. Two have now been closed with no further action or concerns after being thoroughly investigated. The third, the latest complaint continues to be investigated. Ofsted has not raised any concerns.”
Ms Hartstean said the federation’s chief executive, Peter Hughes, continues to have regular meetings with parents.
Ms Haststean said a barrister had been appointed to review the Federation’s complaints procedure.
Kylie Kelce is expecting her fourth daughter with husband Jason Kelce – and has teased the possible baby name that is inspired by a famous Hollywood actress.
In a short clip uploaded to the show’s main Instagram page, the former field hockey player was joined by Kate Hudson.
At one point, Kylie revealed she has thought about naming her fourth daughter after Hudson’s character Andie Anderson in the 2003 romantic comedy How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days.
She gushed that it’s ‘one of my favorite movies of all time, but absolutely my favorite rom-com. We’ve even considered Andie as a name for our fourth girl.’
Kylie and Jason are already parents to daughters who have gender neutral names: Wyatt, five, Elliotte, three, and Bennett, two.
Kylie Kelce, 32, is expecting her fourth daughter with husband Jason Kelce – and has teased the possible baby name that is inspired by a famous Hollywood actress
The media personality – who announced she is expecting baby number four last year in November – opened up about the topic during a snippet of the upcoming Thursday episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast; seen in February in New Orleans
Referencing to her husband and former Philadelphia Eagles center, she added, ‘We were like, “Andie would fit in there, and it would be so cool.”‘
Upon hearing that one of her movie characters was an inspiration for Kylie and Jason, the actress replied with, ‘Andie would be so cute… I love that.’
The podcast host then recalled meeting another mom at a swimming pool in the past who had also named her daughter after Andie Anderson.
‘They said that they named their daughter Anderson, as in Andie Anderson, and call her Andie. It’s so bada**,’ Kylie stated.
Late last year in November, the media personality announced that baby number four is on the way with an adorable Instagram post at the time.
She uploaded an image of her three daughters as they posed for a humorous photo while wearing matching pink ‘Big Sister’ sweaters.
In the caption, she penned to her followers: ‘I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister. At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page!’

The former NFL star added, ‘There’s another girl, so the clothes are all going to be hand-me-downs or already bought.
‘The crib is already situated. So we’re pretty set. Kylie’s definitely preparing more than I am, because she’s actually growing the human being.’
Kelce continued, ‘I love my kids so much, and especially my daughters. I was telling somebody out there because they’re expecting their first – and they look at you. They smile at you.
‘There’s just a way that kids have to warm your soul in a way that nothing else can,’ he expressed to the outlet.
‘And it’s been such a blessing to have three healthy, smart, wonderful children. And hopefully we’ll welcome a fourth into this world, and we’ll be able to watch them fight and tear each other apart and all the good stuff.’
‘Going on fourth, it’s like a disaster. You’ve already used them all up. All bets are off,’ she told her fans.
‘If we do a full commit to a girly name at this point, it would not sit well with the other three, I think. Eventually, they’ll be like, “Why did they get a cute girly name?”‘
Earlier this year in January, Kylie got candid about the difficulty of trying to find a name for their fourth daughter on her Not Gonna Lie podcast
Kylie added that both she and her husband ‘have to lean a little bit towards those sort of gender-neutral names.
‘We debated Charlie for our first, and then within, I think, six months, we had three different friends who named their kid Charlie.’
The media personality continued, ‘This was six years ago. And Jason and I were like, “Shoot.” Wyatt is a Wyatt, but I love the name Charlie.’
‘I mean, listen, that’s not up to me, that’s not my decision… but I think Kylie is about coming to the end of wanting to pop these things,’ the former NFL star explained.
‘We’ll see. This one might be it. We’ve talked about the V-word, we brought it up. I don’t know if it’s going to happen or not, but we’ll see.’
He added, ‘I don’t think it’s necessarily if we want to have a boy because, at the end of the day, we’re not shooting with good percentages. We’ve got to give up on that idea.’
Kylie is expected to give birth later this summer – although an exact due date is not known.
Last month, Jason addressed rumors that he could possibly get a vasectomy after welcoming their fourth child while on The Steam Room podcast
Last week, Kylie revealed the parenting trend that she and Jason will not do on her podcast and said they will not give each of their kids a present on any child’s birthday; seen in 2023
Last week, Kylie revealed the one parenting trend that she and Jason will not do on her podcast and said they will not give each of their kids a present on any child’s birthday.
‘I am vehemently against the idea of other kids getting birthday presents on a child’s birthday. Our family knows, no one else is receiving a birthday present for Bennett’s birthday. Everyone gets a special day.’
She added, ‘When your siblings get presents for your birthday, it reduces your birthday. It’s not their birthday. It’s your birthday.
‘I think it teaches them to a degree that just because someone’s getting presents doesn’t mean you get presents. It feels very participation trophy-esque and not happening.’
A Birmingham 24-year-old is charged with capital murder in a deadly shooting that happened one day after he was released from the Jefferson County Jail.
The Birmingham Police Department’s Crime Reduction Team arrested Austin Monday in the 7700 block of Crestwood Boulevard on an unrelated outstanding probation violation warrant.
He was taken to police headquarters where he was interviewed by homicide detectives and then booked into the city jail on a 48-hour hold, police announced Wednesday.
Earlier today, the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office issued the capital murder warrant.
Neighbors reported hearing a loud “bang” and found Douglas on the ground in the backyard of the house. They then called 911, said Sgt. LaQuitta Wade.
Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service pronounced Douglas dead on the scene at 4:46 p.m.

Douglas had left home that day with Austin and another man.
His girlfriend became concerned when she couldn’t reach Douglas and then she, Douglas’s mother and brother all began trying to reach him, to no avail.
Douglas’s girlfriend reached out to Austin, but he told her only that he had dropped him off somewhere and was going back to pick him up.
Douglas grew up in South Carolina. The family moved to Birmingham in 2018, and he lived in Bessemer and worked detailing cars.
“He was out on his own and doing something for himself,’’ his mother, Sheree Hayes, previously told AL.com. “He was my baby. He wasn’t a trouble child. He didn’t hang out in the streets.”
The day prior to Douglas’s killing, Austin had been released from the Jefferson County Jail after Judge Stephen Wallace had continued his probation on a previous robbery conviction.

Austin on Sept. 29, 2024, pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery. He was sentenced to 20 years with one year to serve but was granted time served and was freed.
He was placed on supervised probation which Wallace later amended to unsupervised probation.
On Nov. 4, 2024, Birmingham police arrested Austin for being a convicted felon in possession of two pistols.
Court records show Austin was arrested again on Jan. 29, 2025, for being in possession of a stolen pistol.
On Feb. 13, records show, the judge issued an order continuing Austin’s probation. A probation review was set for March 10 before Wallace.
Austin was released from jail, at 11:37 a.m. Feb. 14. Douglas was killed just over 24 hours later.
A previous listed address for Austin was the same house where Douglas was killed.
Jefferson County prosecutors on Feb. 20 filed a motion to revoke Austin’s probation since a basic requirement of probation is that the defendant refrain from committing new crimes.
Wallace set a probation revocation hearing for March 10.
Austin will be held without bond in the Jefferson County Jail.
A boy who was abducted from Georgia seven years ago has been found.
Abdul Aziz Khan, now 14, was found in Colorado on Feb. 23, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday, March 5.
According to the sheriff’s office, deputies were called to a home on Kelliwood Way in Highlands Ranch, Colo., to investigate a burglary in progress around 3:37 p.m. on Feb. 23.
“A homeowner monitoring their security cameras for a house that he had for sale noticed some suspicious activity and immediately called the Sheriff’s office,” Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly said during a news conference Wednesday.
Deputies soon arrived and encountered two children in a vehicle in the driveway.

Soon after, a female and male, who were later identified as Abdul’s mother, Rabia Khalid, and Elliot Blake Bourgeois, came out of the home and claimed to be “associated with a realtor,” per a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office press release.
Weekly said deputies “began to uncover inconsistencies in the suspect’s story.”
Deputies, he said, “worked tirelessly to verify the identities of everyone involved. They knew something wasn’t right. They were following their gut, and they investigated further. They just didn’t take it on face value and take the easy way out and move on. They dug and dug and dug for about five hours until they could figure out what was going on.”

Deputies eventually discovered that Khalid, 40, was wanted for kidnapping the boy, then 7, in Atlanta on Nov. 27, 2017. Weekly said Khalid allegedly took Abdul “when it appeared the father was going to get full custody of the child.”
Khalid is facing several charges including conspiracy to kidnap, forgery, identity theft, and trespassing. Bourgeois, 42, is facing 14 charges including kidnapping, forgery, identity theft, providing false information to authorities, and trespassing.
Both children were taken into protective custody.
Authorities would not comment on the identity of the second child.

“We’re overwhelmed with joy that Aziz has finally been found,” Abdul’s family said in a statement released by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. “We want to thank everyone for their support over the last seven years. Now, as we navigate the next steps, we ask for privacy so that we can move forward as a family and heal together.”
Parents will be holding a protest against fines for school pupils’ absences in Southampton.
The Fight School Fines movement hopes to force the government to allow for 10 days of authorised leave for schoolchildren.
The regional protest will take place on March 8 at the Southampton Civic Centre from 12pm.
Organisers for the protest say giving these extra days would allow for essential family time, accommodate SEND needs and disabilities and allow for greater family support.
Beth Morris is organising the Southampton protest. She has two daughters and a step-daughter.
Her daughter Tayla, 10, has autism, ADHD and pathological demand avoidance (PDA).
Tayla struggled to cope with school and eventually suffered from severe “burnout” two years ago, forcing Beth to take her out of school for her health.
Beth said: “She was not having her needs met in school and the result was she had burnout and her mental health was taking a real hit.
“I had to take the risk of fines and prosecution.”
Beth says she had been threatened with fines, and later prosecution, though after a six-week review she was not taken to court.
“A lot of the narrative in the media is around taking holidays during term time, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. It is about more than that,” she added.
“There is so much more going on when you get to the root cause.”
The national protest organiser mum-of-two Natalie Elliott said: “We are hoping that the government will reform the attendance legislation and put a different narrative onto why people take term time leave.
“Term time absence fines do not take into consideration the complexity of family life. Fining or prosecuting parents does not fix attendance, all it does is criminalise the parents.”
The fight school fines group was created in July 2024 via a Facebook group
More than 75,500 people have signed a petition to the government to approve this measure. At 100,000 signatures, this petition will be considered for debate in Parliament.
The protest will take place in five other places on the same day: Norwich, Nottingham, Leeds, Durham and Liverpool.
Bugatti and Hedley Studios have revealed a unique, one-of-one Bugatti Baby II, celebrating the marque’s 115-year heritage. Designed by Bugatti’s Manager of Sur Mesure and Individualisation, Jascha Straub, this special edition is a tribute to the legendary Type 35 race car.
Finished in a striking “Nocturne” black and “Giallo Midas” yellow — colors favored by Ettore Bugatti — the three-quarter-scale electric Baby II is a blend of history and artistry. The hand-drawn sketches on its body panels, depicting Bugatti’s racing legacy, the Château Saint Jean and Ettore and Jean Bugatti, further cement its status as a collector’s masterpiece.
The car also pays homage to Bugatti’s deep-rooted connection to horses, with subtle design nods to Ettore’s love for “Pur Sang” purebreds. The interior, adorned with black leather from Bridge of Weir, reflects Bugatti’s commitment to craftsmanship and luxury.
“Maintaining and celebrating the heritage of the brand and its founder was a major consideration,” said Straub, highlighting the meticulous effort put into the car’s design. Ben Hedley, Founder and CEO of Hedley Studios, echoed this sentiment, calling the collaboration “a brilliant canvas for a one-of-one piece of art.”

John Cena’s father has now broken his silence about his son’s heel turn. He lashed out in answer.
The Cenation Leader shocked the world at Elimination Chamber 2025 when he suddenly turned heel after having already won the contest. He qualified to face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania but then attacked Rhodes after he turned down The Rock. The Final Boss then gave Cena the signal. The reason he turned heel has frustrated everyone, and it seems that Cena’s father is also frustrated by all the questions when Bill Apter caught up with him.
John Cena’s father was less than amused by the question and appears to be fielding a lot of inquiries about the matter right now. He broke his silence on it and let Bill Apter know that he was receiving too many questions about why his son had done what he did, and he was tired of it.
He had no clue how his son could have done that. He added that perhaps it was time to just let it all play out, and then they could find out what was happening. He also said that the Hall of Famer could find out Cena’s reasoning from John Cena himself.
“I’m tired of the other phone calls I’m getting. I don’t know why he did what he did. You’re gonna have to get that from him. I’m so tired of this. Why don’t we just let it play out and find out what’s happening?” (00:55 – 1:07)
It is clearly a question that he has received too many times, so fans will have to wait and see what John Cena says when he turns up with The Rock inevitably.

An electrician has won a £700,000 will fight after a video emerged of his younger sister holding and “propelling” their dying mother’s hand as she signed over her fortune on her deathbed.
Margaret Baverstock was so ill she could “barely flicker an eyelid” when, in March 2021, aged 76, she signed a will cutting out her son, John Baverstock, and leaving everything to daughter, Lisa.
John, now 61, was left with nothing from his mother’s estate when she died eight days later, leaving all her wealth, including her house in Guernsey Grove, Herne Hill, south London, to his now 55-year-old sister.
He challenged the will in court on the basis that a video of the will’s signing showed it was “not the independent act of the deceased, but she was effectively forced by the physical actions of Lisa into participating in a pantomime of due execution of a document she did not comprehend”.
After seeing the video of Lisa guiding and manipulating her mum’s hand, a judge has now declared the will invalid, handing John half of his mother’s money.
A court exhibit shows the scene as Margaret Baverstock’s alleged final will was made with her daughter Lisa Baverstock holding her hand (Champion News)
Ruling on the case, Judge Jane Evans-Gordon said she was satisfied that Margaret “had no idea what was going on” at the time the document was signed, rendering the will invalid.
The judge said Margaret was suffering from advanced dementia, arthritis and suspected lung congestion and was in no position to sign her name or even understand what she was being asked to sign.
During the trial, Central London County Court heard Margaret had been diagnosed with dementia in 2014 and made her last will “on her deathbed” only eight days before she died, in March 2021.
Electrical compliance manager John claimed that, in the run-up to his mother’s death, Lisa had grown resentful towards him, effectively excluding him from his mother’s house. After learning he had been cut out of the will, he challenged it on grounds that she was too mentally frail to understand what she was doing or signing.
Videos of the will being signed, produced for the court by Lisa, also cast doubt on its validity, showing Margaret struggling through her final testament while “terminally ill”.
The videos showed former care worker Margaret could only signal her assent to the most basic questions by saying “yeah” or by simply mumbling.
John’s barrister, Mark Jones, described Lisa as “repeatedly attempting to place a pen into her mother’s right hand in a manner by which the deceased could hold or grip the same. She finally placed a pen between her fingers … and placed first her right hand and then her left hand over the deceased’s hand.
Mr Jones added that “by force and motion of her own left hand” she then “propelled” her mother’s writing hand to mark the will.
The will itself was a homemade document printed from an online template and drafted by Lisa, naming her as Margaret’s executor and sole beneficiary.
John claimed his sister, who moved into their mother’s home to help care for her in 2019, had become increasingly suspicious and resentful towards him, culminating in a row in February 2021 at the family home.
The “catalyst” for the row was Lisa’s fear that “someone was trying to sell the property without her knowledge”, said her brother’s barrister.
“Lisa threatened to call the police if John would not return the house keys and leave the property, which he did without further demur,” said Mr Jones.
“John speculates, ex post facto, as to whether this was manufactured by Lisa to seek to exclude and discredit him in his late mother’s eyes.”
But Lisa, a former coach driver who represented herself in court, said her mother had been adamant that she should inherit her home, insisting that she wanted the will drawn up to reflect her wishes and was fully “compos mentis” at the time.
She said she gave up everything to care for her mother 24/7, claiming that she had begged her brother “crying on the phone to come down and give me respite” and maintaining that from 2017 onwards John “could not be bothered” with his mum.
“As to the will, it was basically how my mother wanted her wishes done,” Lisa told the court. “She didn’t want my brother to inherit anything and made that perfectly clear to me over the course of the years.”
John, however, insisted that he did his utmost to see and help out their mum, “visiting her regularly, weekly or fortnightly” until his sister effectively shut him out.
Questioning her brother in the witness box, Lisa asked: “Do you recall mum telling you to get out of the house?” to which he replied: “I don’t recall that; the only person who tried to get me out of the house was my sister – you.”
Declaring the will invalid, the judge said the video showed that Margaret could barely “flicker an eyelid” when one of the witnesses began reading out its contents, adding that the pensioner did not read the document herself.
“She could not sign it herself because she was unable to hold the pen or move her hand to write her name,” she said.
“Lisa manipulated her hand and herself physically caused the deceased’s hand to move and make marks on the document.”
Asked repeatedly by Lisa or her witness if she was “alright” with the documents being read to her, Margaret sporadically responded with a “yeah” or what the judge described as an “uh” sound, before Lisa continued to the signing stage of executing the will.
She then secured her mother’s signature by placing a pen in her hand and “moving her hand across the paper to make her signature marks”.
Referring to the video transcript, the judge noted: “While doing this Lisa says to the deceased: ‘Ready Mum, do you agree to this?’ There’s no response and Lisa says again to her mum: ‘OK?’ And the deceased responds: ‘Yeah’.”
Lisa had insisted during the trial that her mother was still mentally capable when she signed her will and refused to accept that she had dementia.
But ruling that the documents were not properly executed, the judge noted: “It’s common ground that the deceased was unable to pick up the pen and put it into her hand due to her contractions.
“Lisa Baverstock physically manhandled the pen into her hand,” she told the court, adding that Margaret’s eventual signature “bore no resemblance” to an example of her authentic signature dating from 2017.
“I am satisfied that the deceased had no idea what was going on. She was unable to act independently and, although she responded with a ‘yeah’ or even a grunt when addressed as Mum, that was simply a response to being directly addressed and didn’t indicate consent to signing the will or acknowledging its contents.
“She looked completely blank during the reading of the will and on all save one occasion she only responded to her daughter.
“At no point did Margaret ask Lisa for help in signing the will or direct her to sign the will on her behalf. Nobody ensured that she understood what was happening by asking her questions about the contents of the will or asking her to tell them her wishes, and she cannot fairly be said to have signed the will.”
On top of finding that the will wasn’t properly executed, the judge found that Margaret lacked the necessary “testamentary capacity” and didn’t “know and approve” the contents of the will.
“The deceased was also extremely frail and on her deathbed. In these circumstances, it was necessary to question Margaret to ensure her understanding.
“Merely reading out the document and asking if she understood it was not enough.”
With no other known will in existence, the judge held that Margaret Baverstock died “intestate”, which means brother and sister must now split her £700,000 assets down the middle, although Lisa must also pay John’s legal fees, estimated at up to £80,000.
Parents have been steering their children into science and technology fields for so long that some of those kids are grown with little ones of their own. Their advice? Careers in the humanities, arts or skilled trades might be safer bets for the next generation.
Bots that write software and perform surgical tasks inspire fear that today’s glut of STEM majors are in a bubble, kind of like their predecessors who flooded finance programs in the roaring ’80s. From 2009 to 2022, the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded in computer science nearly tripled, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
