News Alert: Ex-Kansas detective dies by suicide as long-awaited criminal civil rights trial set to begin, sources say


A disgraced former Kansas police detective about to stand trial on charges that he kidnapped and raped two women decades ago was found dead in his home Monday morning.

Authorities discovered the body of Roger Golubski, 71, after he failed to show up for jury selection in his long-awaited trial in Topeka, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation. They said he died by suicide.

(I don't see how that was to have been a "criminal civil rights" trial though? Looked like a straight murder one?)

I just came to this thread to post that story TH

Here is the source if anyone cares

He violated women's civil rights. That's part of his charges by forcing black women to have sex with him and threatening to lock up their relatives. The women he kidnapped and rated weren't dead so thats why it wasn't gonna be a murder trial. He just didn't want to face his own consequences and ended his life.

South Korea President Yoon declares martial law

When I first glanced at that headline, I thought it must've happened in North Korea. 

Kim Jong Un probably had a good laugh over that fiasco.

A clear case of "Mirror Universe", the phenomenon in Star Trek where people from a parallel universe, where everything is reversed, accidentally arrive in ours. In that universe, it's South Korea that is the totalitarian nation and threat to world security, and everyone loves North Korea. Boy must he have been surprised!

This rumor has been swirling for awhile. When everything came out about Diddy people were saying get Jay Z too.

Google Quantum AI
Dec 9, 2024
The Google Quantum AI team is proud to announce Willow, our latest quantum chip. Willow has state-of-the-art performance across a number of metrics, enabling two major achievements.

First, Willow can reduce errors exponentially as quantum processors scale up using more qubits. This cracks a key challenge in quantum error correction that the field has pursued for almost 30 years.

Second, Willow performed a standard benchmark computation in under five minutes that would take one of today's most powerful supercomputers 10 septillion years! That is 10^25 or 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years — a number that vastly exceeds the age of the universe.

With these and other breakthroughs, the Willow chip is a major step toward building a useful, large-scale quantum computer that could harness quantum mechanics by advancing scientific discovery and tackling some of society's greatest challenges.

Hear directly from Director of Hardware, Julian Kelly, who leads the Google Quantum AI team driving this groundbreaking research.[/QUOTE]
