Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed by another inmate and seriously injured Friday at a federal prison in Arizona, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press. The attack happened at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, a medium-security prison that has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages. The person was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the attack and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity. The Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an incarcerated person was assaulted at FCI Tucson at around 12:30 p.m. local time Friday. In a statement, the agency said responding employees contained the incident and performed "life-saving measures" before the inmate, who it did not name, was taken to a hospital for further treatment and evaluation. read more

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) and lawyers for a defendant in the Georgia racketeering case involving former President Trump will face off in court Tuesday as the state's top prosecutor seeks to revoke Harrison Floyd's bond over incendiary social media posts. Floyd, a leader of Black Voices for Trump who was charged alongside the former president, could see his pretrial freedom revoked over social media posts that prosecutors have portrayed as an attempt to obstruct justice by intimidating future witnesses and communicating "directly and indirectly" with co-defendants in the case.

"The cool thing about these sequences is there are various points of view that explain why you get integers. There are hidden depths there." read more

All I know is that your Bronze Age God hasn't deigned to reappear in 2000 and counting years, and that none of the noted historians of his age, made note of his existence in the time he was supposed to exist. Thus, I retain my 'severe reservations' as to the authenticity of his person (i.e. I maintain he is fiction, just like Zeus, Thor, Odin, the Buddha, etc, etc...)

You can maintain whatever you want, but readers of Josephus, not exactly a lightweight and certainly close enough in time to write about Jesus, might disagree.
