The chat, called “RESTOREYR WAR ROOM,” contained leaders of Young Republicans groups across the country. Pejoratives like the homophobic f-slur, the n-word, and the r-word appeared more than 251 times combined. trib.al/gV6V1eY

Say goodbye to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and hello to … hold onto your hats … the Philadelphia Art Museum! *crickets*

RIP Diane Keaton- such sad news, what an incredible talent. You probably didn't know she collected clown paintings by amateur artists, eventually publishing an entire book devoted to them
