absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

the most beautiful reggae song: Many Rivers to Cross
What: Jimmy Cliff's soul-striking 1969 ballad "Many Rivers to Cross." Here is the studio recording from the soundtrack of the 1972 film The Harder They Come , but it needs to be heard live, as in this...

You don't often have two game design legends in the same household. My colleagues Jennell Jaquays and Rebecca Heinemann were that household. They both designed and developed for games you know and love: early D&D, Bard's Tale, Quake, Wolfenstein, Doom, Wasteland. (cont'd)

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Poker Face is the best show on television, so this is unfortunate. Now, if Lyonne and Johnson don't want to make more with Lyonne starring, they shouldn't. But if they do, then everyone else should get on board with that plan, because the show is great.

There are about 6400 votes in King County left to count, with 1700 in challenge. No idea how many of either of those are in Seattle. Anyone telling you they know how an unknown but completely nonrandom sample of that size will play out is blowing smoke. It’s a tossup. (I’d rather be Katie, though.)

If you live in Seattle, go here and track your ballot. Make sure it is counted. Because this mayoral race, which Katie Wilson now leads by 91 votes, is epically close.

Sometimes you know which Senators will be remembered by history. Moynihan, Kennedy, Dole, Thurmond, Inouye, Sanders, Warren. For one reason or another, they matter.
I look at this list and think, "I will never remember any of these people. Except one wore a hoodie. They had power and did nothing."
