MAJOR RULING: Appeals court tosses key evidence from Elwood Jones case. Officer who found victim's pendant can't be cross-examined (he's dead), so his testimony is OUT of the retrial. Prosecutors once called this evidence 'better than a fingerprint.' #TrueCrime #Podcasts #Journalism

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

The second episode of #MoreLikeAncientFail-iens dropped today! Brandon and I discuss Aliens and the Civil War (yep) with Monster Talk's Blake Smith. All kinds of weird stuff, including The Ghost of George Washington (or maybe an alien in the guise of the ghost, who knows?).
