When Benson Wanjala started farming in his western Kenya village two and a half decades ago, his 10-acre farm could produce a bountiful harvest of 200 bags of maize. That has dwindled to 30.

Step 1 might be to not plant the same crop on the same land for two and a half decades straight.

I'm increasingly convinced that the corporate/authoritarian movement in the US will not be overcome until heads literally roll. I'm not endorsing this. But I don't see another way forward when we have elites who are immune from any sort of ethics guidelines or having to meet the needs of constituencies.

Her mom told investigators that her daughter was possessed and said that God “took” Arely during the exorcism because she was not meant to be a mother.

The grandfather told police Claudia said her daughter ‘was not a normal girl.’ When Rene arrived at the ritual, Arely was alive, but her mom said she was going to die, he told investigators.

Defense attorneys have argued the suspects did not intend to kill Arely.

Sure sounds an awful lot like the mother planned for that poor kid to die.

And all this occurred within a church. Where are the charges against the church?

It seems like a more accurate title would be "died of high capsaicin consumption due to a heart defect".

Cox said about a dozen dogs went after Williams' three children....

No one needs to own a dozen dogs, outside of niche cases like service dog training programs. Certainly no one should have a dozen "pet" dogs. Clearly an irresponsible owner situation.

Her (almost certainly) describing a sibling with autism as being "vaccine-injured" is just so insulting.

My manager didn't care for it when I pointed out that making us go into the office three times per week was equivalent to an approximately $5,000 pay cut. Not including wear and tear on the car.

Two things can be true at the same time.

Spoiler alert: It's so they don't die because Idaho won't let doctors take care of pregnant patients.
