  1. Hype for the Future 80D: More on the Palouse Region

    Introduction The Palouse region specifically refers to a bi-state (sometimes tri-state) region around southeastern Washington and the central-to-southern Idaho Panhandle. Within the region, landscapes are generally hillier rather than mountainous as with the vast majority of regions elsewhere within either state or even the surrounding areas. The most notable of the places within the region is the City of Pullman, Washington, home to Washington State University (WSU). Asotin County Located […]

  2. Hype for the Future 63M: Town of New Gloucester, Maine

    Overview The Town of New Gloucester is located within Cumberland County, Maine, and is home to the Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village, the last remaining active Shaker village in the United States of America with an associated museum on site.

  3. The delicate tissue sheaths that insulate each biological circuit lay in “disorganized clumps,” & throughout #RobertCard’s #brain there was scarring & inflammation suggesting repeated #trauma.

    This was not #CTE, the report said. It was a characteristic pattern of damage that has been found before in #military #veterans who were repeatedly exposed to #weapons #blasts during their service.

  4. His brain was sent to a #Veterans Affairs laboratory in Boston that is known for its pioneering work documenting chronic #traumatic #encephalopathy, or #CTE, in athletes.

    Acc/to the lab’s report, prepared on Feb 26 & updated on Wednesday, the white matter that forms the wiring deep in the #brain had “moderately severe” damage, & in some areas was missing entirely.

  5. The #gunman, #RobertCard, was a #grenade instructor in the #ArmyReserve. In 2023, after 8 yrs of being exposed to thousands of skull-shaking blasts on the training range, he began hearing #voices & was stalked by #paranoid #delusions. He grew increasingly erratic & #violent in the months before the Oct rampage in #Lewiston, in which he killed 18 people & then himself.

  6. A specialized laboratory examining the #brain of the gunman who committed #Maine’s deadliest #MassShooting found profound #BrainDamage of the kind that has been seen in #veterans exposed to repeated blasts from #weapons use.

    The lab’s findings were included in an autopsy report that was compiled by the Maine chief ME’s office & released by the #gunman’s family.

  7. "In addition to his own relatives, law enforcement officials & govt agencies also expressed anxiety about #RobertCard and the possible risk he posed to others, long before police say Card gunned people down in a bowling alley and a bar Wednesday in #Lewiston.

    ...In September, the local sheriff’s office received a letter saying that a soldier who served with Card in the Army Reserve believed that Card might “snap and commit a #MassShooting ”"

  8. I go to Las Vegas once or twice per year and I usually stay at Mandalay Bay. I have no other connection to that city. Yet I experience profound sadness there now, especially when looking out the hotel room window.
    How am I ever going to go back to my hometown. It is forever changed. #Lewiston #Maine #lewistonMaine

  9. #RobertCard, the suspect in the #Lewiston, #Maine #MassShooting, was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound on Fri night at a recycling center where he used to work, ofcls briefed on the matter said, ending a sweeping 2-day manhunt that put people across much of the state’s southern tier under threat.

  10. One term that has often baffled me is “gun culture”. Culture is artistic achievement and intellectual ferment. Culture is ritual, traditions, customs, cuisine, dress, celebration, and remembrance. Culture is life. A gun is a thing. It’s a tool. It’s an instrument of death. Two words that do not belong together are “gun” and “culture”.

  11. @mjk_4mjk @Karoli Faced with this reality, the #WayTooEarly show on #MSNBC went out of its way to promote him this morning, right after the slaughter in #Lewiston, #Maine. They showed back-to-back pleasant BS Social posts, one bemoaning how this happens across America, & one cheering the fascist now Speaker of the House. This is a monster MSNBC cannot stop promoting. #MorningJoe 2016, meet Way Too Early 2023. I'm very disgusted. Also at #Politico, from whence the show's slant to the right comes.
