Tonight, Wednesday on FADE to BLACK: Jason Padgett will talk about his fascinating story of how he was transformed into a mathematical genius after a traumatic brain injury. He will share how this life-changing event unlocked extraordinary abilities, enabling him to see the world through the lens of complex mathematical patterns and fractals.
Jason will also discuss the science behind his unique vision and how his remarkable story challenges our understanding of the human brain and its potential.
Jason D. Padgett is the acclaimed author of “Struck by Genius,” a memoir detailing his extraordinary journey from a traumatic brain injury to becoming a mathematical savant. Published in over 40 countries, the book has garnered international recognition. Jason is also the founder of Quantum Information Holography (QIH), a groundbreaking theory unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity through informational principles encoded in space-time. Currently, a screenplay adaptation of his life story is being developed for a major motion picture.

Your mother is kidnapped from her home and brutally murdered, her body dumped in the woods off a quiet country road. The authorities find a suspect, tell you they’re going to seek the death penalty and ask you if you’re OK with that. How would you react? What would you do?
Brett Malone found himself in that very position when his mother, Mary Ann, was killed in 2000, and the Opinion video above is about the surprising path his life has taken since then.
The film is the second in a three-part series, with each taking a critical view of the death penalty by exposing flaws in cases and questioning whether retributive justice can truly provide closure. The videos are in keeping with The Times’s longstanding position that the punishment is full of bias and error, morally abhorrent and futile in deterring crime and should be abolished.
The series lands at a hopeful but still challenging time in the movement to get rid of capital punishment in the United States.
The death penalty has been falling out of favor with officials and the broader public alike over the past three decades, in part owing to what the Death Penalty Information Center called “society’s greater understanding about the fallibility of our legal system and its inability to protect innocent people from execution.”
The number of states that have rejected capital punishment has been increasing since the late 1990s. Twenty-nine states have abolished the death penalty or paused executions by executive action — up from 12 in 1999.
Last year, for the first time, a Gallup poll found that more Americans said the death penalty is administered unfairly (50 percent) than fairly (47 percent). And the percentage of people who said they supported the death penalty has fallen steadily since the mid-1990s, according to Gallup, dropping to 53 percent this year, a five-decade low.
But other recent data urgently underscores how much hard work remains for abolitionists. A downward trend in the number of executions that prevailed for two decades — there were 11 in 2021, down from a peak of 98 in 1999 — has recently reversed. There were 18 executions in 2022 and 24 last year, a worrisome uptick driven in part by governors and prosecutors seeking to burnish their crime-fighting bona fides.
And there are still about 2,400 prisoners sitting on death row around the United States.
One of them is Jeremiah Manning, the man who killed Brett Malone’s mother. The two men have never met, but since her death, their lives — and their fates — have been deeply intertwined.

🔴 Harris Selects Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as Running Mate for 2024 Election
Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate for the 2024 presidential election, according to three sources familiar with the decision who spoke on condition of anonymity. The official announcement has not yet been made public. Walz, a former high school teacher and Midwestern Democrat, is seen by many within the Democratic Party as a strategically beneficial choice.
Walz’s selection follows an intensive vetting process that saw Harris interviewing three finalists over the weekend: Walz, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. Despite not being a household name on the national stage, Walz’s background as a veteran and former representative of a Republican-leaning rural district in Minnesota is expected to help Harris appeal to working-class white voters who have drifted away from the Democratic Party.
The Harris-Walz ticket aims to build on the strategy that proved successful for Joe Biden in 2020, though without the COVID-19 pandemic as a pretext for limited public appearances. Harris has been more visible, engaging with crowds and media, while Walz will need to introduce himself to the broader electorate quickly, with only three months remaining before the election.
Walz, who has served as the Governor of Minnesota since 2018 and was re-elected in 2022, brings executive experience to the ticket. His political journey began later in life, after two decades as a public school teacher and football coach, and serving in the Army National Guard. He first entered Congress in 2006 by winning a seat in Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District, a predominantly rural and conservative area.
As Harris prepares to campaign alongside Walz, they will embark on a tour of battleground states, starting with a rally in Philadelphia. The campaign aims to highlight Walz’s appeal to Midwestern voters, emphasizing his experience and policy successes in Minnesota, such as legalizing recreational marijuana, expanding abortion rights, and implementing tuition-free college for low-income students.
Despite facing criticism from Republicans for his liberal policies, Walz has also implemented bipartisan initiatives, such as removing the college-degree requirement for most state jobs. His ability to navigate both liberal and conservative issues is seen as a key asset for the Harris campaign.
In the coming weeks, Walz will face significant political tests, including a potential debate against Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio. Harris’s selection of Walz, a seasoned politician with a diverse background, signals a strategic move to strengthen the ticket’s appeal in crucial Midwestern states and beyond.
