Apple TV+ has quietly become the most reliable home for original sci-fi shows with a lineup of series that consistently rank among the genre’s best. The likes of Severance, Silo, Foundation, and Dark Matter all feel distinct from one another, but are all equally brilliant. They are big-budget cerebral sci-fi shows that trust audiences to keep up, and that approach has turned Apple TV+ into the platform genre fans rely on.

A defendant is arrested in Tennessee on a serious criminal charge. Very early in the case, before a trial and before a conviction, a judge may have to decide whether that person stays in jail or is released under court-ordered conditions. Many Tennesseans probably assume judges can already deny bail in serious cases whenever they believe a defendant may be dangerous. Under Tennessee’s Constitution, it is not that simple. In November 2026, Tennessee voters are expected to consider a proposed constitutional amendment that would expand the circumstances under which judges may deny bail before trial. The proposal does not automatically deny bail to anyone. It gives judges broader constitutional authority to deny bail in certain serious criminal cases if the evidence meets a high standard. That distinction is important. Tennessee’s Constitution currently says “all prisoners shall be bailable by sufficient sureties,” except in capital cases when “the proof is evident, or the presumption great.” In plain English, most defendants have a constitutional right to bail before trial, with a narrow exception for capital offenses when the evidence is especially strong. The proposed amendment would expand that exception. Under the proposal, judges could deny bail in cases involving a capital offense, terrorism, second-degree murder, aggravated rape of a child, aggravated rape, grave torture, and certain other serious offenses requiring a defendant, if convicted, to serve at least 85% of the sentence. Again, this would not mean that every person charged with one of those crimes would stay in jail until trial. A judge would still have to look at the facts. The amendment would expand judicial discretion. It would not create mandatory detention. That is where much of the public debate will likely begin. Supporters will argue the change gives judges another tool in violent-crime cases, especially when public safety is at stake. Critics will argue it expands the government’s power to hold people before they have been convicted of a crime. Both arguments touch the same constitutional tension: how Tennessee should balance public safety, individual liberty, and the presumption of innocence before trial. Bail is not a finding of guilt. Release is not a finding of innocence. Pretrial detention asks one legal question; conviction asks another. That distinction can be emotionally difficult in violent cases, especially for victims, families and communities. But constitutional rules are often written for the hardest moments, not the easiest ones. The proposal also would require judges or magistrates to place their reasons for granting or denying bail on the record in qualifying cases. That matters because it creates a clearer explanation of the decision, a better record for review and more accountability in cases where the stakes are high. Constitutional amendments are not ordinary legislation. They change the structure of government authority. This proposal asks voters whether Tennessee judges should have broader power to deny bail before trial in certain serious criminal cases. Reasonable people may land on different sides of that question. But before voters decide what they believe, they should understand what the amendment does and does not do. It does not decide guilt. It does not eliminate bail in every serious case. It changes where Tennessee draws the constitutional line between liberty, public safety and judicial discretion before conviction. Det.

I have seen a number of super old questions about this with no answers. I managed to convince my company to let me use Linux, and now I'm having a really hard time using it because the pointer precision on the trackpad is horrible. There is a setting for mouse acceleration for a regular mouse, but nothing for trackpads. Is this normal? How can I fix it? EDIT: It would also be great if there is a way to adjust the scrolling speed/number of lines; it seems that's only a setting for a mouse as well.
