Far-right influencer convicted in voter suppression scheme
NEW YORK (AP) — A self-styled far-right propagandist from Florida was convicted Friday of charges alleging that he conspired to deprive individuals of their right to vote in the 2016 presidential election. Douglass Mackey, 33, of West Palm Beach, Florida, was convicted in Brooklyn federal court before Judge Ann M. Donnelly after a one-week trial. On the internet, he was known as “Ricky Vaughn.” In 2016, Mackey had about 58,000 Twitter followers and was ranked by the MIT Media Lab as the 107th-most important influencer of the then-upcoming presidential election, prosecutors said. He had described himself as an “American nationalist” who regularly retweeted Trump and promoted conspiracy theories about voter fraud by Democrats. Mackey, who was arrested in January 2021, could face up to 10 years in prison. His sentencing is set for Aug. 16. His lawyer, Andrew Frisch, said in an email that the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan will have multiple reasons to choose … [Read more...] about Far-right influencer convicted in voter suppression scheme
Mercedes rules out early introduction of F1 car upgrades
Listen to this article After drivers George Russell and Lewis Hamilton scored sixth and seventh in qualifying for the 2023 opener in Bahrain, Wolff declared that the team would change its car concept. While trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin has since revealed Mercedes realised the limits of the W14 in the wind tunnel even before hitting the ground in testing, a major car redesign is a months-long process. However, during the Saudi Arabian GP weekend earlier this month, there were suggestions that Mercedes would introduce its first development package in time for Baku or Miami. But Wolff has now ruled out a hasty arrival for the new parts, saying that any lasting changes to the W14 will not arrive before Imola, round six that will run across 19-21 May. The Austrian told Sky Sports : "We're doing good steps, good developments, but you've got to run them, confirm them, produce them. "So, I think we're not looking for introduction before Imola. We want … [Read more...] about Mercedes rules out early introduction of F1 car upgrades
Explained: What caused F1 GPS problems in Australian GP practice
Listen to this article The opening one-hour practice session at Albert Park was stopped after 40 minutes when it became clear that teams were unable to track cars on the circuit and as a result, there were several crash near-misses. The FIA, therefore, opted to stop the session for nine minutes while the problem was investigated. It quickly became apparent that the lack of live GPS tracking was creating the main safety issue, with drivers unaware of cars appearing behind them at high speed or going slowly up ahead as their teams had lost the ability to see what rivals were at that stage doing and issue warnings, as is the norm during busy practice and qualifying sessions. But Motorsport.com has learned that the primary cause of the problem was not a failure of the GPS system F1 uses, as this remained active for the FIA's monitoring systems in race control. Instead, a server that handles the FIA's tyre data and distributes that information to the live timing and … [Read more...] about Explained: What caused F1 GPS problems in Australian GP practice

(AP) — Family and friends of Evelyn Dieckhaus, one of three children who were killed in a school shooting in Nashville this week, remembered her Friday as a “shining light” and said farewell to a girl who loved art, music, animals and snuggling with her older sister on the couch. The funeral at the Woodmont Christian Church in Nashville’s Green Hills neighborhood was closed to the media. Before the service, the church's senior minister, the Rev. Clay Stauffer, echoed what Evelyn's family has shared about her. “She was a shining light. She was radiant,” Stauffer told The Associated Press. “I think our challenge is to take her light and keep spreading it to a world that has so much darkness and pain.” Evelyn's was the first funeral held for the victims of Monday's mass shooting at The Covenant … [Read more...] about Mourners gather for 1st Nashville school shooting funeral
