His mom should have made this into a t shirt for son to wear so everyone would know he was a nice boy:
His mother submitted a letter saying while the crime was wrong, “he is not a bad boy.” She pointed to the fact that he walked the girl home after the assault. “Does that sound like a dangerous criminal?” she asked

As callous and awful as this looks it is tragically quite common. I can remember a near identical version I heard back in 1983. A girl working at a nursing home talking about a dying patient and the staff used it as a smoke break. It was like down time for them. She got assigned the job by a welfare to work program. She had two kids before she was 18. The unspoken issue here is death, and how the living cope. The atmosphere created in a nursing home is: the patient is nearly dead the patient gets a break so should we.
Found the deep roots of grammar Nazism

Having to edit a stone chipped slate could make anyone cranky. I wonder if it's double spaced in courier 12 with wide spaced margins for red ink edits and comments by an anal retentive grammar Nazi who was known to publicly flay students. Or maybe the writer hide it under a pile of rocks so the dog wouldn't eat the homework and his mom was a hoarder and he couldn't remember which stack of rocks it was under. Maybe this was an early way of copyrighting. Hide the original in stone and when the papyrus bootlegs show up the writer collects the royalties.

Water cave rescue complete, for one life
I found myself looking for updates to the situation everyday. There's happiness for the people rescued. Grief for the family of the diver who suffocated. People who flock to help people in need, always heartwarming. Now all the conspiracy theories can develop over the number 13.

Get a grip
Entertainment doesn't have to represent anything in particular. Entertaining doesn't have to hinge on anything believable in the real world. To be able to transcend reality. A place above and out of reach of the everyday regular world people find themselves. That is entertainment. Entertainers aren't required to be anything but human. Trying to create a brand, representing an image that isn't the job of an entertainer. The ability to differentiate when you leave a movie theatre that just played an engrossing film once you arrive and settle into your usual surroundings. It should be possible to be as attentive to say your neighbors, co-workers, commuters stuck in traffic. Many of us don't consider those actual worldly encounters as dynamic enough to feel part of. Like the full sensory participation we allow ourselves to indulge during an artistic performance.
When the entertainer stops performing. The actor should symbolically die in mind of the audience. It's necessary to escape the escape.

Hollywood classier then porno and more compassionate then a snuff film. There is a reason commercials for menstrual products don't show all the gory details. It's because the people using them live the experience. Hollywood creates a sex scene. While penetration isn't shown in graphic detail like a porn film. Mimicking sensuality, or pretending to be aroused is a gateway into some murky twisted thinking. Consider what sort of deeds have been done when people have tricked another person into thinking they are interested. I think most people think sex is sacred. Whether it is for procreation or not and regardless of sexual preference or gender. It's why people get their feelings hurt. The thought this is supposed to be special. A person wanting to pretend to have feelings most likely has suffered a psychological break in character.

Author and radio commentator Stacy Horn joined guest host Ian Punnett to discuss her latest work researching the horrors of Roosevelt Island, known then as Blackwell's Island (related images). It was the site of a lunatic asylum, prisons, an alms house, and a number of hospitals. Despite good intentions of relieving the overcrowded and poorly maintained wards at Bellevue Hospital, the pastoral island soon epitomized the worst conventions in the treatment of the mad, the criminal, and the poor. "They planned to build state-of-art institutions that would be a beacon to all the world... it all went south almost immediately," Horn said.
The facilities on Blackwell's Island soon were overcrowded and underfunded leading to the abandonment of 'moral treatment,' in which patients were supposed to be managed unrestrained and with compassion, she explained. Convicted criminals sent to the work house were employed as nurses and attendants in the lunatic asylum, Horn revealed. As evidence of the inhumane treatment, Horn cited the case of a female patient who gave birth in a solitary cell while restrained in a straight jacket. She also reported on the case of Sister Mary Stanislaus, who was committed by her family and sued to get off the island. According to Horn, the legacy of Blackwell's Island is still with us. "It created this association in the public mind that [the poor, mentally ill, and criminals] were all basically one in the same... and I think that association still exists today," she lamented.
According to legend, in 1735 a witch named Mother Leeds gave birth to a grotesque monster―a deformed horse-like creature with wings and glowing red eyes―that escaped through the chimney of her New Jersey home and vanished into the Pine Barrens. During the latter half of program, Brian Regal, assistant professor of the history of science, technology, and medicine at Kean University, examined the fascinating circumstances surrounding the genesis of the Jersey Devil myth. "With mythology of any kind it's never one thing... it was a complex interplay of Native American legends, of European legends, and other elements like political and religious infighting [behind the Jersey Devil's creation]," he argued. The legend that most people know came together slowly over the course of the 18th and 19th centuries, Regal explained, noting there was no concerted effort to create the idea of the Jersey Devil until the 20th century.
He traced the real story to Daniel Leeds, who had upset his Quaker community in 17th century West Jersey with the publication of an almanac and philosophical treatise. Leeds eventually breaks with the Quakers, continues writing his almanac as well as pamphlets disparaging his former religious order, and is branded the 'Devil's Harbinger' for it, Regal revealed. This is the beginning of the narrative thread linking Leeds and his family to a demon that would become known as the Jersey Devil, he added. After Leed's son Titan takes the almanac over, Ben Franklin mentions him unfavorably in his rival publication, Poor Richard's Almanack. "Over time it picks up other bits and pieces and slowly you get the kind of evolution where the Leed's Devil, which is a political animal, sort of morphs into the Jersey Devil, which is a physical monster," Regal said.

US considering troop withdrawal from Germany, report says

Trump had reportedly showed interest in shifting US forces during a White House meeting earlier in the year after he had voiced shock at how many US troops were in Germany, the largest contingent of US forces in Europe.
Spokesmen for the National Security Council at the White House and the Pentagon said the Defense Department regularly analyzes the US troop deployments.
