There is a fair chance that an innocent man was tortured to death last night.

Imagine being strapped down to a gurney, and helplessly suffocating to death. Imagine fighting to survive with your lungs on fire, your face wet with tears, and your heart pounding so fast that it’s all you can hear.
Alabama Didn't Just Execute a Possibly Innocent Man. They Tortured Him.
Anthony Boyd’s nitrogen gas execution lasted over 20 minutes. He gasped 225 times. He maintained his innocence until the end.

@leehedgepeth.bsky.social I cited your work in here, if that is OK with you.
Anthony Boyd very well may have been an innocent man. The state of Alabama brutally killed him tonight.

Any Northwestern Alums on this platform that could answer a few questions I have about NU and Chicago? I am currently in the process of applying there and have some questions about the weather, j-school, etc. Thanks!

Everyone’s freaking out about politics. Me? I’m a high school senior freaking out about Moby-Dick.

Hi, I’m Zach, a HS senior. Reading Moby-Dick this summer made me think about how unpredictable life and politics can be. I wrote an essay on Ishmael’s approach to uncertainty:

I’m a high school senior juggling school, cross-country, college apps… and rejection stings. Like Ahab, it’s easy to obsess over what we can’t control.
Captain Ahab? Obsessed with certainty and revenge. He dies trying to control the uncontrollable. Moral: chasing certainty can destroy you.
Ishmael, the narrator of Moby-Dick, tries to answer everything—why whales are white, why life is the way it is. But every answer just leads to more questions.
