Today’s news, fermented:
It’s dark outside, and an important meeting is encroaching on my writing time today. So, here’s a list of things that caught my eye:
Breonna Taylor Grand Juror Says Homicide Charges Were Not Presented, aka, in the grand jury proceedings, nobody presented the fact that Breonna Taylor was MURDERED. I’m sorry, is that even a court case?

Last but not least, Slow Lorises Are Adorable but They Bite With Flesh-Rotting Venom. Yeah, you read that right.
