I frequently say that apples and oranges are not good comparisons to humans. We are more like onions, layered. We keep our 3 year old self and put a 6 year self over it and continue that process until we take the bus at the end of the ride.

Everybody Around Trump Hates the Unhinged Laura Loomer. Except Trump. newrepublic.com/article/2016... via @newrepublic.com Plus, she's a poster child for Botox injections gone bad!

Everybody Around Trump Hates the Unhinged Laura Loomer. Except Trump.

She has zero qualifications, zero experience, zero talent except self-promotion. So how’d she get the national security adviser fired?

The NFL needs more flags. Feel like the game is most enjoyable when there’s a flag on every single play, as opposed to every other play.

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

I have never seen a Great Blue Heron wingspread quite like this. So fun to catch a side view of a wingspread while the bird was launching into flight.

A large blue bird, a Great Blue Heron is launching into flight from a downed branch in the marsh waters. It is really spreading it's primary flight feathers as it takes off and is leaning into flight.

Keanu Reeves on meeting Alex Winter for the first time: There was like a room, you were sitting down, I walked in, said hey what's up,
Winter: I had a motorcycle helmet, you had a motorcycle helmet.
Keanu: We talked about motorcycles and bass guitars.
