Today at the Editor’s glance: In court: It’s going to be a busy trial week, with two of the most high-profile trials in the county in some time. The trial of Keith Johansen on a first degree murder charge is scheduled to last all week before Circuit Judge Chris France, each day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with jury selection in Courtroom 101, and the trial itself in Courtroom 401 at the Flagler County courthouse. Johansen is accused to shooting and killing his wife, Brandi Celenza, at their home on April 7, 2018. He contends it was a suicide. He faces up to life in prison without parole if convicted. Court TV has been paying attention. The trial of Deviaun Antriel Toler on a first-degree felony charge of aggravated child abuse and two other charges is scheduled to last all week before Circuit Judge Terence Perkins, each day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with jury selection in Courtroom 401, and the trial itself in Courtroom 301 at the Flagler County courthouse. Toler has been out on bond and appears to have moved to Palm Bay since the original charges in 2018. He is accused of having “knowingly” abused his 20-month-old son by using a washcloth dipped in boiling water, causing burns from the boy’s right shoulder “down the entirety of his right arm,” causing permanent disfigurement, according to the charges. The alleged burns were not treated. Toler also faces an aggravated abuse charge for allegedly spanking his child with a belt and using a tree branch to do so, causing “numerous scarred and open lacerations” and permanent disfigurement. The child was cared for at Wolfson Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville from Feb. 15 through March 7, 2018.

“For my part, the difference between lockdown and normal life is (depressingly?) minimal. Eighty to ninety per cent of my days are the same as they would be anyway–working from home, reading, avoiding social gatherings.””
–Sally Rooney, from “Richard Flanagan, from “Beautiful World, Where Are You” (2021).

Facebook was fine until the Boomers flooded into it to try and push their political views on everybody.
Just like everything they touch, the Boomers ruined Facebook.

Zuck should be locked up for lying to Congress. Will never happen though! Too much money here. If you are smart, you will deactivate your Facebook account and sign off forever
