Canadian serial killer Bruce McArthur has pleaded guilty to 8 counts of first-degree murder. McArthur frequented an area of Toronto called the Gay VIllage between 2010 and 2017 where he befriended mostly south-Asian immigrant men at bars, later luring them into his vehicle and killing them. McArthur dismembered the remains of his victims and hid the remains inside large planters which he maintained for a private client as part of his landscaping business.

McArthur was arrested last year when he became a suspect after the reported disappearance of his latest victim. Toronto police quickly came under scrutiny for pronouncing early on that McArthur had no connection to any other missing persons and was not the serial killer that had widely been rumored to have been stalking and disappearing men in the Gay Village for the past several years (which it turned out, he was). Residents complained that the police had never taken the rumor seriously or investigated the disappearances deeply, ostensibly because most of the victims were gay and minorities (McArthur's final victim, whose disappearance was investigated immediately, was white).

About that Foxconn factory in Wisconsin..

After $4.1 billion subsidy, Foxconn cancels plan to build Wisconsin "factory," now proposing a small R&D facility

Earlier this month, Foxconn admitted that hiring for the plant was going slowly. The company originally promised to create some 13,000 jobs in the state, but it has already fallen short of modest targets. Instead of creating a promised 260 jobs in 2018, it only created 178, making it ineligible for tax credits. The company originally promised to employ 5,200 workers by the end of 2020, but Reuters now reports that this figure is closer to 1,000.

As well as the number of jobs diminishing, the type of work is changing, too. Instead of focusing on factory work, Foxconn claims it will create higher-skilled, R&D occupations. Woo told Reuters that about three-quarters of the jobs Foxconn will create in the state will be so-called “knowledge” positions.

Kentucky Governor Says America’s “Getting Soft” for Canceling School During Polar Vortex


Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, like many Republican leaders, believes that American children are too weak. His latest evidence: Some schools in his state have closed for the dangerously cold polar vortex winds that are currently scouring the midwest and pushing frigid air to states nearby.

“Come on, now,” Bevin said to radio host Terry Meiners in an interview Tuesday, after the host had called the cold “serious business” in protest to Bevin’s complaint. “There’s no ice going with it or any snow. What happens to America. We’re getting soft, Terry, we’re getting soft.”

Bevin did admit that it was better for schools to “err on the side of being safe,” but he maintained that the current way children were being raised softened them

Albuquerque residents tired of taking stranger's baloney

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Since the first of this year, Sharisha Morrison has been receiving bags of bologna and bread from a mystery man.

The surprise sandwich deliveries to her southeast Albuquerque home always come in a plastic grocery bag.

Morrison set up a camera to see who was leaving the bread and bologna. At first, she thought it might be an act of kindness, until she realized the bag smelled of urine.

She isn't the only one receiving these deliveries. Her neighbors have been receiving them too.

"They're actually moving out because they're tired of it," she said.

Morrison says she has called police but they can't do much unless they catch him during a delivery.
See this is one of those things that can easily go both ways. I could see some old guy thinking he's helping neighborhood people out by leaving free gifts of bread and lunchmeat for them regularly. And bologna can be pungent, depending on the recipe...or maybe the age; maybe the meat is going bad and he doesn't realize it. On the other hand, I'd never describe any bologna I've ever seen as smelling like urine; that's highly questionable. Weird sitch all around.

A district judge ruled back in 2016 that the State of Kentucky should pay the fees and costs of the couples who were suing because she denied them marriage licences. The State, despite the fact the Governor was personally supportive of her actions, is appealing against the ruling, arguing that she was acting on her own initiative, against the State's policies, and she, not the taxpayers, should pick up the bill.
