How Dumbass Trump Signed a Global Death Warrant for Women

Lard-submerged Qur'an mailed to Islamic center in California

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is one of the most active pro-Islam voices in the Trump era — and when their Sacramento office was sent a pork lard-submerged Qur’an, they knew they’d struck a nerve.
As the Associated Press reported, the offensive package sent to the Sacramento CAIR office is now being investigated by police — and is the third time a mosque or Islamic center has been sent a defaced Qur’an in recent months.
Although Sacramento police are investigating the packages as a “hate activity,” they’re unlikely to press charges due to it not being a technically criminal action. Given that this is the third such incident in the area, “police have notified terrorist threat assessment agencies.”
“It’s deplorable behavior by someone to do something like this, and it’s very disrespectful to their religion. But yet there’s no specific crime that’s attached to it,” a Sacramento officer told AP. “We’re monitoring these types of instances and taking them very seriously.”

Average prison sentences are getting even longer

The average amount of time inmates spend in prison has increased significantly, according to a recent study by Washington, D.C., think tank, Urban Institute. The study found the average amount of time served behind bars had risen by about 5 years from 2000 to 2014. Researchers also discovered that black men, in particular, were the majority of the population of inmates serving the longest sentences.

One weird thing about eclipses you’ve probably never noticed

This summer, for the first time since 1918, a total solar eclipse will cut a path across the mainland United States. On August 21, everyone in North America will be able to watch the moon pass in front of the sun, blotting out some or all of its light (depending on where you live). People near Lincoln City, Oregon will see the total eclipse around 9:05am PDT. Then the path of totality slants eastward, finishing up in South Carolina at 2:43pm EDT.

Tennessee inmates offered less jail time in return for vasectomies

A judge in Tennessee is offering inmates at a county jail reduced sentences if they agree to undergo a free vasectomy or birth control injections, drawing fire from opponents who say the program violates fundamental constitutional rights.
The program, which offers White County Jail inmates 30 days off their time behind bars, aims to encourage participants to be successful and avoid being “burdened with children,” Judge Sam Benningfield said in an interview on Thursday with Nashville’s News Channel 5.
“This gives them a chance to get on their feet and make something of themselves,” the judge said.
Benningfield’s order took effect on May 15 but only garnered national attention after the News Channel 5 report. Dozens of inmates are said to have signed up.

Scientists solve mystery of rogue signals

Earlier this week, astronomers detected some odd signals seeming to come from a star 11 light-years away, known as Ross 128. The researchers at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico were attempting to learn more about planets and objects orbiting a group of red dwarf stars, including Ross 128. During this time they found a strange transmission that they couldn’t at first explain, which gave rise to some speculation it could be alien in origin, though that possibility was ruled out.

Humans have made more than 9 billion tons of plastic

In the classic film The Graduate, a family friend gives the protagonist an iconic piece of advice. “One word... plastics. There's a great future in plastics.” That advice couldn’t have been more prescient. Though the world hadn’t seen so much of as a plastic bag prior to about 1950, it is now awash in them. For the first time, scientists have calculated how much plastic humans have produced throughout history, and come up with a staggering figure: more than 9 billion tons (or 8.3 billion metric tons).

Burundi teenage robotics team goes missing after US contest

Six teenagers from a Burundi robotics team have been reported missing after an international competition in Washington and two of them were seen entering Canada, police said on Thursday.
The four males and two females were last seen late on Tuesday afternoon when the robotics contest ended at the FIRST Global Challenge, police said. Authorities issued missing persons photographs of the six on Wednesday.
Two of the Burundians – Audrey Mwamikazi, 17, and 16-year-old Don Ingabire – were spotted crossing the United States border into Canada, District of Columbia police spokeswoman Margarita Mikhaylova said.
“We don’t have any indication of foul play and we’re continuing to investigate this case,” she said. Police said they did not have information about how they were spotted or the nature of the border crossing.
