DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Adelia Johnson thought she understood where Connor Betts was coming from when he shared that he’d contemplated suicide, and even when he once told her in a drunken call about wanting to hurt people. As they dated this spring, they bonded over their struggles with mental illness, she said, so his dark thoughts didn’t seem so abnormal. Not to her, as someone familiar with the…

In May, a United Nations panel on biodiversity released a massive, troubling report on the state of the world’s animals. The bottom line: As many as 1 million species are now at risk of extinction if we don’t act to save them.

There are a great many questions about the death of fraud financier and serial sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. So far, there have been only a handful of answers. That in itself gives rise to even more questions. I say “death” rather than “suicide” because, contrary to the insistence of many, Occam’s razor does not dictate that the most well-connected sex trafficker in the Western world most likely died in federal…

Here are a few things I know firsthand about being in jail. First and foremost, you have virtually no control over your life and surroundings. You can’t get so much as an aspirin without authorization. In most jails, you can’t wear a belt, or shoelaces, or keep a razor in your cell.
