No Wrongful Execution for Tony Carruthers Tony Carruthers was convicted without physical evidence, based solely on testimony from informants. Now, Tony is scheduled for execution on May 21st by Tennessee after being forced to represent himsel...

There's still time to save Tony's life.

Add your name to the petition to tell Tennessee to test all the forensic evidence before they execute a potentially innocent man.

This is important and shocking news from NYT.

And it doesn’t mention the DRC third-country deportation program has already begun. ICE sent 15 immigrants from Latin American countries there five days ago.

“One of our scientists loves his work so much, he even comes in on his day off, just to chart burn times!
In fact, he even took home some of the accelerants and…wait…wait, that’s probably not good…”

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

“The US has provided no evidence that any of the vessels were involved in drug trafficking, and legal experts and rights groups say the attacks amount to extrajudicial killings as they apparently target civilians who do not pose any immediate threat.”

Similar scenario:
Found some well-reviewed local restaurants in their area and secured some giftcards through email/phone (enough so that she could go out with a friend and cover the meal). The thought was: cash is good, but sometimes “directionless”, and this created a perfect “easy choice” to try

Crucial forensic evidence from the crime scene doesn't match Tony's.

Tell Tennessee to test the evidence before they put a potentially innocent man to death.

Tennessee man set to be executed files motion claiming DNA evidence will prove his innocence Tony Carruthers is set to be executed in May for a triple kidnapping and murder in 1994.

A potentially innocent man is set to be executed by Tennessee in the coming weeks even though no physical evidence links him to the crime.

We're demanding that the state runs DNA and fingerprint tests that could show Tony Carruthers didn't kill anyone.

Surprise inspection finds ICE stuffing migrants 'like sardines' into a facility with no bed, showers Three lawmakers visited a Mesa ICE facility unannounced and found overcrowding, with 250 detainees packed into rooms "like sardines"

What our tax dollars are funding: a disgusting ICE facility in Arizona packing people “like sardines,” 40+ in rooms built for 21, sleeping on concrete floors, no showers, begging for medical help.

Shared memory!
I never read it, but boy did I read about it.

It was the same for Madman by Mike Allred (which I eventually read and currently (and will always) love). Based on that memory, sounds like it’s time to check this one out!

And by “heat” I don’t mean greatness - I mean culturally impactful figures.

Orson Welles Recounts Crossing Paths With Hitler And Churchill! | The Dick Cavett Show YouTube video by The Dick Cavett Show

IMO some directors have a nose for cultural impact.

Orson Welles found himself in both the company of Hitler (whom he described as unremarkable) and Churchill (whom he revered) and these happenstances were less related to films than to his lifestyle.

Some people just know where the heat is.

Employees are interpreting directions from the Zuck-bot as true messaging from Zuckerberg himself.

I had this same issue - it just looked synthetic and “off”, I didn’t make it 15m in. I keep saying, if I want to watch a cartoon I’ll watch a cartoon. Meanwhile, I’m yearning for practical sets and effects.
But I’m glad people enjoyed it. I heard good feedback from people I trust. Just not for me.

Ode to a House Pest:

Though your mortal trappings endure
And your insect wings have gone
Rejoice!
For your spiritual wings have unfurled.
You did the best that you could do
Reached heights before unseen
No more could be asked!
Enjoy the rest of your noble journey,
You’ll never be crushed again

Lunar Flyby - NASA

Oh this is great: there’s now an #Artemis II Lunar Flyby Gallery on the NASA images site: www.nasa.gov/gallery/luna... (thx @dpmanchee.bsky.social for pointing it out)

This was the first use of eclipse glasses at the Moon to safely view a solar eclipse. Image Credit: NASA

Wow, so cool to be watching and learning in real-time! Was viewing the new images from NASA and saw the eclipse glasses you mentioned!

Awkward scenes aboard Artemis II as Trump stops ranting and none of the astronauts have anything left to say to him, leading to extended dead air

This is peak humanity; in the midst of a tough and terrible time, the Artemis II crew continues to wow me. I‘m overwhelmed by the human spirit of it all. I was always a fan of space exploration but I feel like this crewed flight has been my first experience with being drawn into the moment like this
