The Day the Rope Broke
On June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas, a rough rope pressed against my neck as though it were a dull saw cutting through timber. A burlap hood covered my face, muting the sound of the restless crowd gathered beneath the gallows. Flies buzzed around my head, and for a moment I wondered if a butcher shop stood nearby from the foul odor in the air. Then I realized the smell came from my own bruised and bloodied body. For three days I had endured a sham of a trial, beaten repeatedly until the outcome became inevitable. I felt no regret. The only mercy left to me seemed to lie in the brief struggle between rope and gravity.

Several hundred residents of the village lived in the basement for a month
The city of Chernihiv was surrounded in the first days of the war, and it was liberated only in early April. The surrounding villages were even less fortunate — russian troops entered there on February 24. The village of Yahidne, located south of Chernihiv and 150 kilometres from Kyiv, was occupied in early March. About 400 local residents were taken prisoner, they sat for a month in the dark, cramped basement of a small local school. The occupiers looted homes, took away clothes, linen, and household appliances. Sometimes residents were allowed to leave the basement and cook some food on the fire. During the occupation, the Russians shot, according to various sources, 20 civilians. Journalist Ilya Kabachynskyi came to Yahidne to see the conditions in which the locals lived, talked to them about what was happening, and went down to the same basement where 11 people died.

A skull of a Sea-Rex pliosaur was found off the coast of England.
A 6.6-foot-long pliosaur skull with its upper and lower jaws still locked together in their original configuration has been discovered by British scientists. Palaeontologists have an exceptionally good picture of how one of the most formidable predators in the Jurassic Ocean actually bit and fed because of this unique preservation.
