Four Englishmen killed and ate a 17-year-old cabin boy adrift at sea in 1884.
A court let two of them walk free in 6 months.
The yacht Mignonette sank in a storm, 1,600 miles from land. July 5, 1884.
Four survivors in an open boat. Thomas Dudley. Edwin Stephens. Edmund Brooks. Richard Parker, 17, the cabin boy.
No food. No fresh water.
Day 12: they caught 1 turtle. Nothing after that.
Day 18: Parker was drinking seawater, dying, unconscious.
Day 19: Dudley took a knife. Stephens held him down. They killed him where he lay.
They drank his blood. They ate him for 4 days.
A German ship found them on day 24. Half-starved, still alive.
They told police the whole story. No lies, no cover-up.
England charged all 3 survivors with murder.
Dudley's defense: 1 death instead of 3. The greatest good for the greatest number.
The court said no. A man's right to live isn't a number you can vote down.
Dudley and Stephens were sentenced to death. Queen Victoria commuted it. 6 months in prison. Then freedom.
Harvard still opens its most famous philosophy course with this case, right before the trolley problem.
A lever makes it math.
A knife makes it murder.
Angel Reese says she didn’t have dolls that “looked like me” as a kid.
She was born in 2002.
Barbie has had black dolls since 1967.
Make it make sense.

Dear @SenLummis: In this video, I share my personal journey as one of the few American female founders of a crypto company —not to look backward, but to help lawmakers understand the real-world consequences of regulatory ambiguity.
When the rules are unclear, it isn't just companies that suffer. Entrepreneurs hesitate. Capital leaves. Jobs disappear. Innovation moves elsewhere.
The debate around crypto regulation isn't abstract—it's deeply human. Behind every company, every founder, every employee, and every investor are real people whose futures are shaped by the rules we create.
I chose to build in America. We built a U.S.-based, publicly reporting, independently audited crypto company because we believed transparency, compliance, and accountability would be rewarded. Instead, during the "War on Crypto," we found ourselves caught in an environment of uncertainty that made innovation harder, not safer.

Being known as the crypto guy at @Sheetz because you actually pay with @FlexaHQ. This is the timeline we wanted. ethereum:0xff20817765cb7f73d4bde2e66e067e58d11095c2
WATCH: Bodycam video shows an awkward encounter as Sunny Hostin pleads with officers after they stop her Harvard-educated son for allegedly trespassing on Metro-North railroad property.
The 'The View' co-host repeatedly reminds police she's a "former federal prosecutor" while telling them: "He's a Harvard Grad...He's not a kid who's ever in trouble. It's an innocent mistake."
The newly released footage is sparking reaction online, with critics calling out Hostin for invoking her legal background and pleading with officers during the encounter despite past comments where she claimed "no one is above the law."
