  1. No One Dies Lying

    On the twenty-second of May, 1929, at Fort Riley, Kansas, a woman named Zenana Shepard sent her nurse to a closet for a bottle of bootleg whiskey. She said the liquor had a strange smell and a strange taste, and she asked whether enough remained in the bottle to test it for poison. Then she said the sentence that would outlive her by four years and travel all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States: "Dr. Shepard has poisoned me." The doctor was her husband, Charles A. Shepard, a major in the Army medical corps, and the government would later argue he had salted that whiskey with bichloride of mercury because he loved a woman named Grace Brandon and his wife declined to divorce him. Zenana Shepard died on the fifteenth of June. Her husband was convicted of her murder, and her sentence, the spoken one, did much of the convicting. […]

  3. "I can't breathe" is a #slogan of the #BlackLivesMatter movement in the United States. The phrase originates from the #lastWords of #EricGarner, who was killed in 2014 after being put in a #chokehold by a #NewYorkCityPolice officer. A number of other #BlackAmericans, such as #JavierAmbler, #ManuelEllis, #ElijahMcClain, and #GeorgeFloyd, have said the same phrase prior to dying during similar #lawenforcement encounters. According to a 2020 report by #TheNewYorkTimes.

  9. We all have to do lists - busywork, vile tasks, and grand ambitions. The eternal tomorrows. Yet... the days end one after another with little else to show but some half-hearted notes and new unimaginable distractions. After all, the only things we really need to do are pay taxes and die.

    'So much to do, so little done'

  14. Ziemlich #ekelhaft, mit welchen Mitteln #Youtube​r auf #Clickbait gehen:

    Inhaltslose #Fake Beiträge zum #Tod von #ShaneMcGowan. Bilder seiner #Beisetzung - die allerdings erst am 08.12. stattfinden wird, seine vermeintlichen "#Lastwords - 5 hours before he died!", die traurigen Abschiedsworte von #JohnnyDepp, die aus alten Interviews zusammengeschnitten wurden...

    Zum Kotzen, was für eine Welt.

  17. Dad's last words to me were "keep your chin up."

    It was a week ago today. He was incapable of complete sentences at that point. Had been for a while.

    He had a brief moment of lucidity and could see I was struggling.

    Thank you, Dad.

  18. Seems the website goodbyewarden.com is down, throwing a #cloudflare error 523
    Somebody knows if this is permant? Nevertheless, since the site was very minimalistic, the WB-Machine works quite well on it.
