Sunday Sundown Rundown - 3/10/24

3 Up

1. Wrongly Convicted Man Released - A wrongly convicted man was released in Philadelphia after 30 years -30 YEARS! Each time there is a story like this I am filled with many emotions. But the biggest one is that I'm happy to see justice done correctly. Peace be to that man. 

2. Caitlin Clark Effect - Clark continues to scorch the sports world as the Big Ten Championship (in which Clark participated) garnered the highest ratings for a regular season women's basketball game. I really can't wait to see what she does this season with the Indiana Fever. 

3. Instagram/Facebook Outage - It was for a mere few hours. But you know what? It was glorious. Remember the world before social media? Ahhhhhh, reality...

3 Down

1. Biden vs. Trump II - Well, now it's official after Nikki Haley officially suspended her campaign. It's the most inevitable (and possibly unwanted) rematch in the history of anything. It really does beg, can we not do better? 

2. Haiti Gang Violence - Haiti is undergoing some extreme social movements with gang warfare taking over the country. Haiti has seen its government seized, prisons released, and various ports under the control of gangs. Truly, some concerning (and Jack Ryan-ish) stuff. 

3. Amazon Wildfires - Well, there are now parts of the Amazon Rainforest that expect rainfall this time of the year, and is now on fire. Never seen before! Do with that as you want...
