Signed 800 years ago, the Magna Carta is at the heart of democracy today

The birth of the rule of law.

Today in history, democracy was kind of born. If Jeb Bush wins the presidency, it will likely die a fiery death in the desert.

This whole story is about Prance, a Frankenstein’s monster that was made from the body parts of various musicians. However, he has no soul, because that was the next thing on the list to be transplanted when he escaped. He is now a heartless rock star, playing music dependent on everyone else with no real power of its own - or so Kierkegaard would have us believe. This is clearly a thinly veiled commentary on Prince, which is pretty much Kierkegaard’s stock in trade.

Lonnie Franklin Jr. was arrested in July 2010 after a 25-year-long killing spree in which it is thought he could have killed more than 100 victims, potentially making him the most prolific serial killer in history. Significantly his arrest was not the product of painstaking detective work but completely accidental, the result of a computer DNA match that linked him to a possible 20 victims. Franklin now awaits trial. Tales of the Grim Sleeper looks into how it was possible for all this to happen.

The Pantheon for the Counts of Buenavista in Malga  By Felipe Trigo Redondo

On a journey to Andalusia, the extreme south of the Iberian peninsula, the traveler will always be surrounded by the echoes of an astounding past, between the brightness of transcendental moments for the whole humanity (the superb arts patronized by the Arabian princes and the strength of the poets from the 20th century) and the darkness of terrible cataclysms, such as the medieval wars, the coming of the Inquisition and the "last Crusade": the Spanish Civil War.
