I'm slightly surprised the offender didn't get a whole life order in this case (3 #murders using an illegally obtained #firearm) even though he was young, but he will remain in #prison for longer than I am likely to be alive!
I still think there's an anomaly with #sentencing for #murder in #England / #Wales - those who target people known to them seem to get get shorter #sentences than those who attack strangers
@kopper@brain.d.on-t.work did we... have the same idea?
so the other day i was talking with a friend about how we could #Fix the #Hashtags in the #Middle #Of #Sentences problem if we just removed all of the #'s at the body of the post and moved them all to the very bottom

Next stop: Explaining to mastodevs that people don't put their #hashtags into normal #sentences. 
Donald Trump has taken January 6 denialism to a new level:
Hosting an awards ceremony dedicated to the Capitol riot.
On September 5, a “#J6 #Awards #Gala” will be held at Trump’s golf club in Bedminister, New Jersey.
The event will include a raffle to win a plaque recognizing the “Justice For All” song performed by Trump and the “#J6 #Prison #Choir,”
-- which briefly reached the Billboard Music Chart.
The choir is made up of defendants serving #prison #sentences for their actions in the Capitol in 2021.

In #Florida #convictedfelons may not #vote until their #sentences have been #served and they have #paid all outstanding #fines and #restitution.

#SCOTUS’ ruling has the potential to affect the #convictions & #sentences of a small set of #insurrectionists — around 27 — who are serving time in #prison for only this #felony. It also could impact about 110 more who are awaiting #trial or sentencing, acc/to prosecutors. In addition, the ruling could affect #Trump’s stalled trial for illegally trying to remain in power after his 2020 defeat; 2 of the 4 charges he faces are based on the #obstruction statute, & he could move for dismissal.
This is exactly why I have struggled to adapt my hashtagging practices to really work on Mastodon. “On top of all that, in-post hashtags feel thirsty. After a decade of Twitter and Instagram, I associate them firmly with spammers and #blessed clout-chasing thinkfluencers, #shoehorning that #pound #symbol into the #middle of #sentences to reach more #eyeballs.” https://www.theverge.com/23673125/mastodon-separate-tags-hashtag-navigation-accessibility
My revision class is working on sentences. So many ways to think about writing sentences!
Like how they can mimic the actions that are happening--like making them quick & explosive or long & meandering according to the action. Not every sentence--that can get tedious--but some. Or else I think about how the construction can mimic the way the narrator thinks.
How do you think about sentences?
