lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/cruel-mum-son-partially-mummified-29017481

Quick Glance: Mother and Son Sentenced for Animal Cruelty

Following the starvation of a French bulldog and severe neglect of another, a mother and her son have been banned from owning animals for a decade.

Gucci was discovered deceased and partially decomposed in a bathtub, weighing a mere 3.5kg - significantly below a healthy dog's average weight.

Experts observed that Gucci and Violet endured harsh conditions, leading to severe dehydration and malnutrition. Both defendants faced penalties and a 10-year prohibition on animal ownership.

In addition to the dogs, a snake and a fish were discovered on the premises and transferred to the RSPCA. Shaw received a 26-week suspended prison sentence, while Wynne was given a three-month suspended sentence. Violet made a full recovery and found a new home.

I’m a Scholar of Ben Franklin. I Can’t Believe How Good Michael Douglas Is in the New Show.

slate.com/culture/2024/04/ben-franklin-michael-douglas-apple-show-true-story-accuracy.html

Quick Glance: Michael Douglas defends farting as Benjamin Franklin

Michael Douglas expresses no remorse for his portrayal of flatulence as a founding father.

In an interview with Sirius XM's The Jess Cagle Show, the Wall Street actor defended the scene in his Apple TV+ series Franklin where his Benjamin Franklin repeatedly breaks wind. Douglas delved into a book about Franklin and used 'Fart Proudly' to counter critics.

Indeed, Franklin penned an essay titled 'Fart Proudly' in 1781, delving into the science of flatulence and proposing ways to turn its odor into a pleasant scent.

The Apple TV+ series, based on A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America by Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff, narrates Franklin's endeavor to persuade the French government to back the American revolution.

Senate dismisses two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security secretary, ending trial

english.elpais.com/usa/2024-04-17/senate-dismisses-two-articles-of-impeachment-against-homeland-security-secretary-ends-trial.html

Quick Glance: Senate's Decision on Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas

The Senate rejected the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, halting the House Republicans' effort to impeach the Cabinet secretary over his management of the US-Mexico border.

With Democrats contending that the articles were unconstitutional, senators voted to dismiss both impeachment charges and conclude the trial.

Senate Republicans had called for a full impeachment trial after the House narrowly voted in February to impeach Mayorkas for his border actions.

Republicans argued that President Joe Biden was ineffective at the border, while Democrats suggested accepting a bipartisan Senate compromise instead of impeaching Mayorkas to reduce illegal immigrants.
