The Head of a Tennessee Youth Detention Center Will Step Down After β€œLoss of Confidence” in His Leadership A 2023 investigation by WPLN News and ProPublica found that Richard L. Bean was illegally locking kids up alone in cells. A new scandal has forced his resignation.

I'd like to know how a monster like this got into this position in the first place. Should have been forced out ages ago.

Many Europeans and Americans think World War 3 is imminent | YouGov But few Europeans think they can effectively defend themselves from attack

Anyone who was paying attention to history knew it started around 1980, and that not only did we support it, we embraced the apocalypse as some sort of "greater good."

Further evidence humans are absolute fucking idiots.

President Trump says CBS and '60 Minutes' should 'pay a big price' for going after him Despite the legal battle, β€œ60 Minutes” has been unstinting in its coverage of Trump's administration since he took office for a second term, particularly correspondent Scott Pelley.

60 Minutes is still using kid gloves. Wait until they find real dirt, and they start treating him the way they treated Nixon.
