And another day of protests and honesty comes to a close:

“Here are the most important pieces of advice that I’ve passed on to my children. One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Two, never give up work.

After trying for months to obtain lethal injection drugs, Oklahoma officials say they plan to use nitrogen gas to execute inmates, marking the first time a U.S. state would use the gas to carry out capital punishment.

RIP Stephen Hawking. He was 76.

“People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.” -- Stephen Hawking.

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
