I start believing very strongly in the concept of universal divergent identity systems whenever I'm about halfway through the process of shaving my face

"On the Afternoon of Friday, March 30th 1934, Raymond Stewart, a white planter in Kemper County Mississippi was found dead. A posse of White Citizens was formed and three of Stewart's sharecroppers, Arthur Ellington, Ed Brown and Henry Shields, were detained by the posse. If it's not clear from the context, the three sharecroppers were African American.

Ellington Brown and Shields were questioned by the Posse and while they were being questioned they were beaten and kicked with fists, tied to chairs and beaten with a leather strap with buckles on it, and one of them was hung from a tree in a mock lynching before being cut down. All three men were beaten until they confessed to murdering Raymond Stewart. The men were then arrested by the county sheriff and placed in the county jail over the weekend. Over the weekend, the County Sheriff and a large group of white men again went to the jail and the men were threatened and asked to repeat their confessions, and told the defendants the beatings would resume if they changed their stories.

Criminal charges were filed that Monday morning, April 3rd, when the courthouse opened. Jury summons were issued and the jury trial for the murder of Raymond Stewart began Tuesday morning April 4th. The state was seeking the death penalty for each of the three men.

The Kemper County prosecutor at the time was a relatively young lawyer named John C Stennis. John Stennis would later go on to become a long-standing senator for Mississippi and member of the armed services committee. He has a Nimitz class aircraft carrier named after him.

The jury trial began on Tuesday morning and was completed by the end of the day. The only witness for the prosecution was the sheriff who testified that he had heard each of the three men confess to murdering Raymond stewart. There was no attempt to hide that the confessions had been extracted by torture. The defense attorney that had been appointed to represent the three men objected to the confessions being admitted into evidence was overruled and did not otherwise offer much cross-examination.

The three defendants then testified to the jury that the confessions were false and had only been given under torture. The judge instructed the jury that if they believed the confessions were unreliable due to the torture, they should not consider them as evidence. The jury voted to convict all three men and imposed the death penalty. There was an appeal and the Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed the conviction. The case then went to the United States Supreme Court on the Constitutional argument that it violated the defendants constitutional rights to offer their confessions when those confessions had been involuntarily extracted by violence. The Supreme Court reversed the convictions."

fextralife loves being wrong about the stupidest shit ever. whenever there's a video about an obscure mechanic in a fromsoft game, flip a coin for whether an incorrect assertion about said mechanic is quoted directly from them. petty to expect perfect accuracy from wikis run by volunteers, but god their entire model as a "wiki" sucks so much, I hate them so much

"watching the superbowl for the ads" sounds like something somebody making fun of americans would say and yet it's something people will say with a straight face completely seriously

so like, does anyone have a holistic explanation for why in the last ten years it feels like all governments around the world stopped giving a shit about gambling in that it's being done openly everywhere all the time now?

the property of being "more than the sum of its parts" is best observed in podcasts: three white guys talking to each other are infinitely more annoying than three white guys on their own

I know this has been said a million times, but it's genuinely dreadful that for certain topics it's almost impossible to search the web without appending "site:reddit" to the query string. I feel like the rate at which I passively discover new websites has massively diminished since the amount of useless SEO pages plaguing search engines has indirectly forced me to rely more on just a few well consolidated sources :(
