“Good morning sir, what’s your name?” Middleton said when Saxaon joined the meeting with the screename Buttfucker 3000.
“Me?” Saxaon said
“Yes.” Middleton said.
“Nathaniel Saxaon, sir.”
“Your name's not Buttfucker 3000, you yoho,” Middleton said as a distressed and confused Saxaon scanned the crowd (he might have meant to call him a "yahoo" but he pronounces it "yoho" in the video. | |

Question: “As we sit here today you don’t have any idea what was in the liquid concentrate?”
Casey Aiken: “Not a clue.”
Question: “OK. And you don’t know where it came from?”
Casey Aiken: “Not a clue.”
Aiken said in September or October, he was mixing a new batch in the tanks, and got a low reading on a meter he was using to measure the water’s alkalinity level so he called his manger, Brent Jones’ son Blaine, to ask what to do.
Question: “And he told you to add more concentrate?”
Casey Aiken: “Correct.”
Question: “And he didn’t tell you how much?”
Casey Aiken: “No, he didn’t tell me how much.”
Aiken said he decided to add two and a half more gallons of the concentrate to the water.
Question: “You do understand that if you potentially add more concentrate than you — you usually use that there could potentially be a problem with the water, right?”
Casey Aiken: “I wouldn’t think so.”
Question: “You would think so?”
Casey Aiken: “No, I wouldn’t.”
Question: “OK, but you don’t know what’s in the concentrate.”
Casey Aiken: “If I’m putting into somebody that’s ingesting it, I would think that it’s safe no matter what. That’s my thought.” | |

The person who wrote Malone's police reform plan has denied the validity of vaccines and the Biden presidency and doubted the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their initial proposal included language referring to Black community members as "transient" and praised the town's French-Canadian heritage, which multiple community members pushed back against, and even protested.
"You could very well not be actively hating on a group, a total group," Smart said, "but we’re all participating in systemic racism. We’re all doing it."
Ultimately, Malone updated their plan, which includes the creation of an anti-racism committee and new policies of how to handles hate crimes.

The question of what hip-hop means for Britell may come together most concretely on “Succession.” He had read the pilot script and visited the set with Adam McKay, who suggested him for the project. The show had to have gravitas, Jesse Armstrong told him, but it was also deeply absurd, and the music would have to say both these things at once. It wasn’t clear how Britell could make that happen. Then he started thinking about Kendall Roy, one of the heirs apparent who anchor the show.
“The first thing you see,” Britell said, “is he’s in the back of this car rapping to the Beastie Boys.” It’s hard not to think about Kendall as a failed Britell, a parallel-universe version of what he might have been if he had stayed in finance: a Wall Street bro who hides inside his headphones and disconnects from the world he chose. The scene — a young man rapping earnestly inside a chauffeured car — offered a window into how the Roys’ self-conception might contrast sharply with their destructive incompetence. “What if the sound that they imagined for themselves was this dark, courtly, late-1700s harmonic sound?” Britell asked himself. “I played Jesse some of these chords,” he said, “and he was just sort of like, ‘Yes.’”

A former nursing aide was sentenced Tuesday to seven consecutive life terms and an additional 20 years in federal prison after confessing to injecting lethal doses of insulin into frail, elderly veterans in her care at a West Virginia Veterans Affairs hospital.
As the sentencing took place, VA Inspector General Michael Missal released a blistering investigative report that concluded that cascading failures by the Louis A. Johnson Medical Center, the Clarksburg hospital that hired Mays in 2015, enabled the nursing aide to target patients for nearly a year.
Missal’s 100-page report cited “serious, pervasive, and deep-rooted clinical and administrative failures” that allowed the murders to go undetected as Mays injected patient after patient with insulin, from July 2017 through June 2018, that she was not authorized to administer, leading to their dying of severe hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar.
“Somebody should have been asking questions and looking into it, and they did not do that,” Missal said at a news conference Tuesday. | |
