Craig Morton, NFL quarterback who played for the Cowboys, Giants, and Broncos passed on May 9, 2026. A sad day for the NFL, but particularly for Broncos fans. He was our QB for our first taste of real success, winning the AFC by defeating both the Steelers and the Raiders, both heated rivals at the time, in that post-season. Though ultimately falling short, losing Superbowl XII to the Cowboys, that season was a true turning point for the franchise.

An unnamed 21-year-old woman died in Brazil today after workers at a bungee-jumping event threw her from a bridge without attaching her to the safety cord, causing her to fall about 130 feet (40 meters).
Witnesses told Military Police that workers appeared to have forgotten to attach the safety cord before she was pushed from the platform, according to g1. Video shared on social media showed workers carrying her to the platform before the fall, followed by people shouting about the rope.
Responding emergency crews pronounced her dead at the scene.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
