Iran executes more civilians simply for protesting (two were murdered along with the wrestler for the same "crime"). It had promised to stop such executions.
Masih Alinejad 🏳️@AlinejadMasih

Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.

The elusive, famous, and mischievous artist "Banksy" has been identified by Reuters as one Robin Gunningham, a 50-53-year old white male who later changed his name to "David Jones". The Reuters investigation is fascinating. whyevolutionistrue.com/2026/03/19/ban…

All the news that's fit to post and, in Dobrzyn, Hili again rebukes Andrzej: Hili: Careful, you’re losing your sense of proportion. Andrzej: In what? Hili: In how suspiciously you examine reality. whyevolutionistrue.com/2026/03/19/thu…

.@SouthwestAir This article from the Onion hints at the erosion of Southwest Airlines, which has ditched everything that made us love it to accrue more $$. Boarding has changed, you have to pay for some economy seats, and the vibe is different. I'm no longer a loyal customer. bit.ly/4cWkV3g

@SouthwestAir From the Onion. Indeed, SW has let us all down. It's no longer the inexpensive and friendly airline it once was. Prices are higher, boarding priority and seats cost money, etc. I always flew it if they had flights where I was going, but now I'm no longer loyal to this airline. bit.ly/4cWkV3g

This French Jewish girl was gassed to death as soon as she arrived in Auschwitz (89% of her transport met the same fate). Arlette was three years old, and would be 87 today had she lived.

19 March 1939 | A French Jewish girl, Arlette Skalka, was born in Paris. She arrived at #Auschwitz on 23 August 1942 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy.

Jesus 'n' Mo have forgotten that all faiths make equally silly claims (with the possible exception of some forms of Buddhism, so long as they don't accept the notions of rebirths and karma). whyevolutionistrue.com/2026/03/18/jes…

Judging by an index of "progressive" versus "Western canon" words in course descriptions, the University of Chicago has grown a lot more progressive in recent years, while "canon" words have stayed static. whyevolutionistrue.com/2026/03/17/the…

Luana Maroja's survey of her Evolution students, who have already taken evolutionary biology, show that most of them think there are more than two sexes, with four (male, female, hermaphrodites, and intersex individuals) being the most common number. Oy! whyevolutionistrue.com/2026/03/17/lua…
