Single payer healthcare seems like a reasonable, sustainable, freedom enhancing (not tethered to your employer) solution to a universal need for a functioning, growing society that has basic belief in a better future for humanity. It'd prolly help, anway.

I shudder at every software update because I know it just means something is about to get weirdly worse.
Today's example: cool, so I can't download a picture from search anymore. Cool. Thanks Google. All these options suck.

It's kinda cute to see people going through the various stages of being a book accumulator.
Enjoy the roller-coaster, friend!
It's all part of the process.

I think it's funny that I commented to my now ex-husband that I'd prefer to watch it once all the episodes dropped because there were too many good shows being canceled early and I didn't want to get invested just to have the rug pulled out from under me.
Now it's just utterly uninteresting to me.

I feel like Stranger Things hate is so forced. Is it preying on nostalgia to an extent? Yeah, kind of. Is it still compelling television with interesting characters and a unique sense of style/aesthetic? I think so. Long episode runtime and bizarre drop schedule aside, I still like the show.

Again: Steering public dollars to private religious schools has always been the #1 goal of @GovBillLee and his fellow privatizers.
(His pal Betsy Devos, who has funded much of the war on public schools, called it “Advancing God’s Kingdom”)

Remember, early in this iconic episode the Enterprise and the alien ship are in a battle and Sulu reports that both ships have raised "screens" and, consequently, their phasers can't get through.

Social media is so funny (derogatory). I saw a post asking why hockey players don't wear full cages and the top liked response was a very confident explanation for why players choose not to and NHL is ok with that and way at the end of the responses was "the NHL rules don't allow it unless injured."

I had no idea the original Star Wars (1977) was shot on 70mm film.
Getting to see the original 1977 version of Star Wars on the big screen in IMAX would be quite something.
This is a massive deal.

I'm still disappointed, while also unsurprised, that The Great One is a Trump loving douchebag.

It's weird to see a "special boy" prize at this scale. It's usually just a demanding parent bullying a private school into giving their kid some made up award.
GUTFELD: “I love that the peace price went to Trump and not Greta Thunberg.”
TURNER: “Because it was created it for him.”
GUTFELD: “So?”
TURNER: “There were no other candidates.”

Reminder: This vast consolidation of wealth and power at the top has not been due to neutral market forces.
There’s no such thing as a “free market.”
It is designed.
It either advances public purposes or it serves the monied interests.

Every sailor involved in this killing should go to Leavenworth.
NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.
The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.
"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"
Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
