My favorite part of Trump coming to Kentucky was probably each of the #kysen GOP candidates breathlessly tweeting out a 6-second video of him reading their name out loud.

Nah I'm with Thomas Merton on this.

Maybe it should matter that the President of the United States threatened the lives of the Iranian soccer team, who can say

A top sign of car brain is refusing to let a 14-year-old ride transit alone but allowing a 16-year-old to drive a car. The perception of risk is completely misaligned with actual data.

Two undeniable truths: 1) violent crime on transit is very rare and 2) teenagers are horrible drivers.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

We can disagree on policy, but the moment we stop agreeing on the rules, we stop being a democracy.

I know this is a "back in my day"... but when I was in 3rd grade I walked about a mile to school every day and back, through a neighborhood, a big vacant lot, another neighborhood, and crossed a busy street at the stoplight. (And upwards both ways in the snow obviously.) And so did many others.

#Unrivaled mention from the commentators of the France vs Philippines game:

"Fresh off Unrivaled, which is an entirely different beast as a 3 vs 3 league. But Dom had an amazing season and the 3v3 format still pays dividends on her development in 5v5."

YES INDEED! 🗣️ #FIBAWBB

In 1877, Monet gained special access to Gare Saint-Lazare. He asked for engines to be steamed so light and vapor would flood the hall—turning industry into atmosphere.

Anybody who ever says shit like this is too much of a wimp to be poor. A week of the added poverty fees would knock his ass out.

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

T. rex took 40 years to reach full size, study finds Tyrannosaurus rex may have taken far longer to grow up than scientists once thought. By analyzing growth rings in fossilized leg bones from 17 tyrannosaur specimens and using new statistical methods, ...

That's because they coddle them too much now. Back in my day, it only took 20 years for T-Rexes to fully mature, because they had discipline. Spare the rod, spoil the terrible tyrant lizard.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

I lived in Iowa for grad school and still get nostalgic seeing the grain silos and fields (here, about half an hour outside Bloomington, Illinois).
