And if Perry didn’t murder the Swains all those years ago, who did? Within weeks, he’d zeroed in on a suspect: Dennis Perry. Perry didn’t own a car at the time, so he caught a ride with his neighbor to work each day. After 20 years, 10 months and six days, Dennis Perry was released from prison in 2020. WFOXAs a wrongfully convicted man, Dennis Perry takes the idea that you’re innocent until proven guilty to heart and he declined to discuss Sparre’s arrest.

Antarctic Peninsula CNN —About 15 billion miles from where you sit, two 12-inch golden records are hurtling through outer space with multilingual greetings to the universe from 55 humans and one humpback whale. WWF's Johnson said the whales are not harmed by this -- to the whales, the dart feels like "a mosquito bite." It feels like “a mosquito bite” to the whales, Johnson said, but what they can test for is priceless: from stress hormones to toxins to — most importantly — pregnancy rates. Ten million copies were inserted into National Geographic magazine in 1979 — the largest single pressing in history — and a global movement to Save The Whales grew big enough to … save the whales. Seth Wenig/AP“I don’t think a wind turbine can kill a whale,” Friedlaender told CNN.

In her first book, “Monstrous Intimacies,” Sharpe writes extensively on Walker’s work to reveal how society is programmed to default to racist narratives. The work in Sharpe’s office, like many of Walker’s famous prints and sculptures, is devoid of color. The more time I spend with Sharpe’s work, the more it inflects my ways of seeing the world. According to Sharpe, Blackness is anagrammatical, meaning that the structures that order language, thought and society become disordered — if not destroyed entirely — when they encounter Blackness. “Her work has shown that we, as Black people, are the foils of humanity,” Frank B. Wilderson III, author of “Afropessimism,” told me.

New York CNN —Skip Bayless spent a third straight day defending his controversial tweet about Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, this time during a tense exchange Wednesday with his Fox Sports talk show co-host Shannon Sharpe. His absence followed co-host Bayless’ widely-criticized tweet questioning whether the NFL should have ended the Bills’ game Monday against the Cincinnati Bengals after Hamlin collapsed on the field. During the incident Monday, Bayless tweeted: “no doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game - but how? “Skip tweeted something, and although I disagreed with the tweet, and hopefully Skip would take it down. “I’ll admit up front that I’m still shook up what happened last night to Damar Hamlin.
