Your weekly source for stories *not* making headlines.

Welcome to Below the Fold, muggles. In this weekly newsletter, we're flipping past the major headlines — the ones everyone else has covered — to highlight important stories we easily miss.  You'll receive your first email the first Friday after subscribing. Until then, here are two sample stories from past editions you might find interesting.    Amazon may be hiding workplace injuries Mon Dec 2 While we were busy shopping Amazon's Cyber Monday deals, the company seemed busy covering up workplace injuries. A recent report shows that hundreds of workplace injuries have been mishandled. While most warehouses have an EMT-staffed unit on-site to offer "basic care," a.k.a. giving out ice packs or Advil, anything more serious is *supposed* to be handled by an actual doctor. But apparently, this rarely happens. Over the past four years, injuries were treated in-house, even though Amazon's medical staff was not qualified — or legally permitted — to do so. Amazon's sweep-it-under-the-rug mentality prevented their workers from seeking immediate medical attention — oftentimes worsening the injuries.   A woman's texts become key evidence in her boyfriend's suicide Fri Nov 22 In Boston, prosecutors charged a 21-year-old woman with involuntary manslaughter for her boyfriend's suicide. The evidence, according to prosecutors? Tens of thousands of text messages that they say show a toxic and abusive relationship.  "do everyone a favor and go f---ing kill yourself, you're such a f---ing stupid a-- worthless s--t." "F--K YOU GO F---ING KILL YOURSELF…" In her defense, a public relations firm released texts showing a frantic effort to stop her boyfriend, as she tracked him down to the roof of a parking garage. "IM BEGGING YOU. PLEASE IM ALMOST THERE PLEASE. where are u please please please." The prosecution is using the girlfriend's abusive language to paint her as a callous and unforgivable, but her defense argues that she is also the victim of "a relationship that became a toxic blend of fear, anger, need, and love." The trial is set for November 2020. That's all for this preview.
