I've never used an alias.
Not many people know your name is actually Yan Kguy.

Charmin is introducing a new brand of bathroom tissue that has tear lines and thus is easier to tear off the roll. ( the age old debate of the roll coming off the top or the bottom still rages)

Does this count as NEWS in GENERAL?

My name,  Bart Oilcan, and professional credentials, including my PhD dissertation on eel migration, are all matters of public record.  A brief search is likely to find some photos of the hovercraft our research team used in our fieldwork on north Atlantic eel species.  Peer review was especially harsh, as some rival marine zoologists claimed (falsely) that some of the eels, rather than migrating, basically hitched a ride in the hovercraft.   Our documentation showed that the hovercraft was never, as one Hungarian skeptic put it, "full of eels."

As long as the estate of Suzanne Pleshette has a financial stake in Charmin.

Yes, if only because it will come in handy wiping up after all of your posts.

There are topics here.

News in general...is a very broad topic/section.

A ton of his meanderings are not in the "News in General" thread and much of his postings about his days body-guarding Suzanne Pleshette, even if posted there, cannot be considered "news" by any definition of the word.

That said, I've made my peace with it and ignore it mostly.

It's 'just' Tony, ...nice, polite, caring, loving everyone in the world, Tony.
He posts stuff, ...yes, don't find anything that appeals to you, don't read it.
I'm sure Tony means well and doesn't intend to upset anyone.

Biggest outrage atm is the fact that Rocky Myers is still on death row.
He has spent nearly 30 years on death row.

Rocky was sentenced to death after a flawed trial tainted by racism, with no forensic evidence.
He also has an intellectual disability.

His lead defence counsel had links to the Ku Klux Klan, and jurors were heard using racial slurs.

The Governor of Alabama must commute his death sentence.

Amnesty International Australia.

#####

Sounds a lot like what happened to that Black man Joseph Spell in the movie I saw on the big screen at a cinema..."Marshall"...where lawyer Thurgood Marshall defended him.

You'd hope Rocky Myers isn't just another victim of the "grab any ...... , one of them did it" mentality that seems to exist.

What's Rocky Myers even still doing in prison, let alone on death row.

Would I like to have been/be a Black man in America?
No siree!
