Incredible. This man, just freed from Sedayah prison in Damascus, says he was due to be executed TODAY with 54 others.
He says: "I swear by Allah, our execution was scheduled for today, 30 mins ago. Me & this man here. 54 people were supposed to be executed today."

And still we have no egg czar. 🤣🤣

Been thinking that one fix to the broken information system is slowing down and evaluating (sometimes referred to as reporting)
This piece from two weeks ago had good and accurate reporting in it, but was wildly over-exaggerated (which erodes trust)

On this day in Vermont history: Alden Partridge founds Norwich University on this day in 1819. It was originally located in Norwich, before eventually relocating to Northfield after a fire in 1866.
Here's a photo of the Northfield campus taken by George Bosworth, likely around 1907.
