By K.S. McNutt Staff Writer kmcnutt@oklahoman.comThe number of college degrees conferred in Oklahoma has dropped along with state funding for higher education. The news comes at a time when state officials report Oklahoma has more than 60,000 unfilled jobs — about 18,000 in critical occupations — because there aren't enough people with the education and training to fill them. "It's appropriate for us to raise concern and sound the alarm bell because we are losing ground," Chancellor Glen Johnson said Wednesday during a meeting of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. Johnson said Oklahoma failed to meet its annual degree-completion goal for the first time since it launched the Complete College America initiative in 2011.Read more on NewsOK.com

  • How 'The Idea of You' movie compares to the book
    Mashable, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 05:00 AM

    The premise of The Idea of You might sound familiar: a middle-aged mother/creative and a twentysomething British boy-bander fall in love, much to the media and fans' chagrin. I am, of course, referring to the endlessly discussed romance between Harry Styles and Don't Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde. However, the source material, the Robinne Lee novel of the same name, dates back to 2017 — years before Spitgate, Miss Flo, and salad dressing Instagram Stories.

  • You came back to Threads. Here's how it can keep you.
    Mashable, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 04:45 AM

    The story so far: In July 2023, the Instagram-based app Threads exploded with a burst of enthusiasm from users desperate to flee Elon Musk's X, the app formerly known as Twitter. That faded in the first few months, when the number of daily active users (DAUs) halved. Still, Team Threads was working diligently to add many of the features a disgruntled Twitter user could desire — a web version, a reverse-chronological timeline — while Musk seemed to be doing his best to tank his own service.

  • Stephen King loves 'Baby Reindeer' so much he's written an essay about it
    Mashable, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 03:20 AM

    Stephen King often recommends shows he likes on X (formerly Twitter), but it's not often he writes a whole essay about them. That's exactly what the horror master has done for Baby Reindeer, Richard Gadd's limited Netflix series based on his own experience of being stalked. SEE ALSO: 'Baby Reindeer' has seen a wave of armchair detectives.
