Album Review: Solitary – Embrace the Darkness
It's unbelievable that it's been four years since Preston thrash legends Solitary released their last record, 2020's awesome The Truth Behind the Lies, so when the new singles started dropping in the run up to the release it was a welcome surprise having not knowing the band had new material in the works.

#MichaelCohen, for only the second time this trial, is getting angry as he remembers what he clearly sees as an #injustice. He testifies that not only was he sent back to #prison, he was put in #solitary confinement.
Streetlights create a golden glow at night on the ancient cobblestones in a narrow alleyway in Palermo Sicily. A solitary figure is seen in the distance, adding a sense of solitude to the scene.

In November, we broke the story of Timothy Murray, the 11-year-old from #Brownsville that spent days in #solitary confinement. On Wednesday, as community supporters chanted outside, a judge dismissed all charges against him. https://www.texasobserver.org/judge-dismisses-charges-against-brownsville-isd-honor-student?utm_campaign=mastodon
Jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei #Navalny dead.
Navalny has been in jail since 2021, and in December he was moved to an arctic penal colony "Polarnyj volk" (Arctic wolf) in #Siberia
Charges against Navalny,one of Putin's most vociferous critics,are widely seen as politically motivated.
Two days ago,Navalny's spokeswoman announced that the oppositionist was again sent to #solitary #confinement for the twenty-seventh time.
Community members chanted “Classrooms, not courtrooms!,” “Homework, not handcuffs!” “Education, not incarceration!,” and “Free, free Timothy!” as a young #Brownsville resident emerged from Cameron County juvenile court.
All charges were dropped against 11-year-old Timothy Murray, the boy who, we previously reported, had been placed in #solitary confinement. @josephinelee brings us this update: https://www.texasobserver.org/judge-dismisses-charges-against-brownsville-isd-honor-student?utm_campaign=mastodon
Come Sit and Stay
Come Sit and Stay. This is one of my favorite images that I've ever taken.
We were camping mid-summer at the beach, thinking warm weather and sunny days at the beach. It couldn't have been any windier or colder all weekend long.
I walked out towards the beach and came across this bench. It drew me in as if I was called. See the full image here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/come-sit-and-stay-bill-gallagher.html #ComeSitAndStay #BillGallagherPhotography #BuyIntoart #AYearForArt #Bench #BodegaBay #Foggy #Solitary
#BestOf2023: When prosecutors refused to drop charges against Timothy Murray, the 11-year-old who #police previously put in solitary confinement, we dug deeper. Investigative Reporting Fellow @josephinelee found what appears to be a shocking pattern of abuse at #Brownsville ISD: https://www.texasobserver.org/prosecutors-wont-drop-charges-against-brownsville-isd-honor-student?utm_campaign=mastodon
“This was the choice of the school to refer to law enforcement, the choice of the law enforcement to detain the child, the choice of the prosecutor to charge him and try to trump up the charges.”
Our most read story, and one of the most infuriating, was Reporting Fellow @josephinelee's investigation into the plight of 11-year-old Timothy Murray: https://www.texasobserver.org/why-was-this-11-year-old-honor-roll-student-put-in-solitary?utm_campaign=mastodon
“We’ve got an overzealous prosecutor who, regardless of what the facts or lack of facts there may be, made decisions that have proven to be more harmful than anything else time and time again.”
#ICYMI, our investigation found that the school-to-prison pipeline is thriving in #Brownsville, the city where #police previously placed 11-year-old Timothy Murray in #solitary confinement: https://www.texasobserver.org/prosecutors-wont-drop-charges-against-brownsville-isd-honor-student?utm_campaign=mastodon
