NO FLUID was found in Nolan Wells' lungs or airways, per the autopsy report by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner. How do you die by "accidental drowning" if there is no water in your lungs?

The first black-owned newspaper, Freedom’s Journal, was published in early 1827 by Samuel Cornish and John Russwurm who, like many early Black journalists, really should be considered among the originators of contemporary U.S. media and muckracking.

I learned this week that the New York Times was founded 175 years ago. There is a useful set of pieces floating around on this for journalism history buffs. But what struck me is that means the Times was founded 25 years *after* the black press which will celebrate its 200th birthday in a few months

this is alarming and has serious implications. stars & stripes is a legit independent newsroom for the troops that provide critical accountability, both in and outside the military. they are deeply sourced in ways the rest of news media is not, and they’ve reported on many of hegsgeth’s failures.

We should all be worried about "dynamic pricing." That's when companies change their prices in real time. If it's hot out, the cost of ice cream could go up. If it's cold, tea bags could go up. It's a way for giant companies to squeeze you even more.
