NEW: For two years, Texas Supreme Court Justice John Devine has controlled the trust of a woman with dementia — a violation of Texas' judicial ethics code, experts say. The woman's niece + three friends also allege that she wanted nothing to do with him. https://t.co/hQB6KcaSJp

As disconcerting as it can be, it is a high privilege to live in a country where you don't know who is going to win an election tomorrow. Highly unusual in human history.

My firm, unswayable opinion is that breakfast should be served until 12pm. If the clock says AM, your fast food place better still be serving breakfast.

BREAKING: Award-winning Cambodian journalist @MechDara1 has been released from prison. No details yet on whether the charges against him will be dropped - and they should be - but for now it's a relief to see him out of prison.
Mech Dara, a journalist, was released on bail from Kandal provincial prison on Thursday at 12 noon, after his apology last night to Senate president Hun Sen and Prime Minister Hun Manet. (CamboJA/Pring Samrang)

Hey man I think there’s something wrong with the Aesop hand soap in your guest bathroom… I can smell the vetiver root and petitgrain notes but not the bergamot rind. I guess maybe you already know that and you just don’t care??

It's hard to overstate how strong the evidence of innocence is in Roberson's case. Yet every institution that should stop his execution from moving forward--from the courts to the parole board--has failed. This is a sickening moment and makes a mockery of the idea of due process.
The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles has denied Robert Roberson's clemency petition. The board voted 6-0 to not recommend commutation of his death sentence and 6-0 to not recommend a 180-day reprieve. Roberson is facing execution on Thursday.
