Federal prosecutors on Tuesday released transcript Federal prosecutors on Tuesday released transcripts of videos they say were recorded by the gunman responsible for last month’s mass shooting at Brown University and the killing of an MIT professor, revealing chilling, first-person statements marked by contempt and a complete lack of remorse. In the recordings, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, 48, repeatedly rejected responsibility for the violence, saying, “I did not like any one of you,” and adding, “To say that I was extraordinarily satisfied, no, but I also don’t regret what I did.” Neves Valente opened fire on students preparing for final exams at Brown on Dec. 13, killing Ella Cook, 19, and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, 18, and wounding nine others, authorities said. Two days later, investigators say he fatally shot Nuno F. G. Loureiro, 47, a professor at MIT, at his home in Brookline, MA. In the videos, Neves Valente said the attacks followed long-term planning. “It was six months — not six months, six semesters,” he said. “I had already planned this for a little more.” He refused to express regret, saying, “I am not going to apologize because during my lifetime no one sincerely apologized to me.” At another point, he dismissed public judgment altogether: “I don’t give a damn how you judge me or what you think of me.” Neves Valente was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Dec. 18 inside a New Hampshire storage unit where the videos were recorded. In what prosecutors described as some of his final remarks, he said it was time for him to leave “on my own terms” and questioned whether he had “the courage to do this to myself now.” He also appeared to mock the victims, claiming some students could have escaped. “There is an emergency exit,” he said with a laugh, adding that those hiding “could have perfectly left through there.” While denying any ideological motive, Neves Valente said, “I have no hatred toward America,” later adding, “I also have no love for it.” He insisted he was mentally sound, stating, “I am sane… I think the world cannot be redeemed.” The U.S. Department of Justice said Neves Valente never clearly explained his motive. The investigation remains ongoing. #brownuniversity

Alanis Morissette is heading to the South Shore th Alanis Morissette is heading to the South Shore this summer — and she’s bringing some serious firepower with her. The Levitate Music & Arts Festival officially unveiled its 2026 lineup, with Morissette topping the bill for the two-day blowout set for July 18 and 19 at the Marshfield Fairgrounds. Best known for defining a generation with Jagged Little Pill, Morissette headlines what festival organizers are calling one of the wildest lineups in Levitate’s 14-year history — and it’s easy to see why. Joining the alt-rock icon are Americana-folk favorites Caamp, Australian indie-pop buzzmakers Royel Otis, and the high-energy Sammy Rae & The Friends. Reggae royalty Ziggy Marley returns to Levitate alongside Massachusetts reggae-rock standouts The Elovaters, while New Orleans funk phenom Trombone Shorty brings his genre-bending Orleans Avenue crew back to the stage. The stacked undercard also features Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Pepper, The Movement, Larkin Poe, Daniel Donato and more — all packed into Levitate’s signature blend of surf-town vibes, big sound, and creative energy. Beyond the music, the Levitate Foundation is doubling down on art and community with the return of its Songwriter’s Stage, giving four emerging artists a shot at performing before massive crowds — and funding for a professionally produced album. New for 2026: a Visual Artist Showcase, transforming the fairgrounds into a massive, two-day pop-up art gallery curated by fans and industry pros. Tickets go on sale Friday, Jan. 9 at noon ET. For festival-goers looking for a summer soundtrack with soul, grit, and a little irony — this one’s not to be missed. #alanismorissette #levitatemusicfestival #newportbuzz
