As a friend told me, it comes down to greed and selfish desire. The vast amount of wealth poured into the pocketbooks of Judges and Congressmen is nothing compared to the mass they generate for themselves. We can't fight them via wealth, so we need to pull the plug on it.

I am having a hard time understanding people and politicians who support damaging environmental policies, or who are indifferent. This is the biggest issue facing humanity. We stand for the biosphere; the decisions we make now ripple into the future.

One of my “progressive” opponents took thousands of dollars from a gas executive. Call me crazy, but so-called “progressives” shouldn’t be taking money from the fossil fuel industry.

That’s why I’m not taking any money from fossil fuel executives, and asking my opponents to make the same pledge.

Celebrities including Bella Hadid, Justin Bieber and Miranda Hart
have talked about their years-long struggles with the effects of Lyme disease,

but despite rising rates and better awareness, the illness remains poorly understood.

Why is ‘chronic’ lyme disease so controversial?

Until this week, no typhoon or post-tropical cyclone with hurricane-force winds has hit Alaska since 1965. And that was only the second time in recorded history.

The Pacific Basin is having a much more active than usual year.

Yet the media is mum on this and climate change.

They’re smaller donors so in total dollars it’s pretty similar

Penn rejects Trump compact offered to colleges

Brown and MIT have also rejected the proposal, which would have given the White House influence over the universities' operations in exchange for preferential consideration in federal funding.

Guy on the radio is talking about “the dating scene” and have you heard about a thing called, “Snowmanning”.
Husband comes into the room.
“What the hell is “Snowmanning?”
Me: “You get a corncob pipe and a top hat and you run through your town, naked.”

We need to give Brady violations criminal consequences. Prosecutors can play games with discovery but it doesn’t lose them their jobs or cause them consequences other than losing a case they deserve to lose (often decades later, in appeal). Ratfucking discovery should be a disbarment offense.

Sydney Reid acquitted.

This was a case where someone filming was assaulted, and then arrested and charged with felony assault.

The grand jury no billed that, so they took her to trial on a misdemeanor charge. There were a bunch of discovery problems.

And now this.

Kudos to the FPDS!

A verdict form for Sydney Lori Reid. She was found Not Guilty.
