It’s that time of year again. Back to school for the kids.

This ad should run during every NFL kickoff, every college football opener, every “Friday Night Lights.” Because school shootings are as American as football now.

I loved HyperCard in college, and MacPaint was a revelation. RIP, Mr. Atkinson.
As Apple employee number 51, Atkinson transformed abstract computer science into intuitive visual experiences that millions would use daily.

The french dip sandwich was invented downtown. The cheeseburger was invented in Pasadena. The Cobb salad was invented in Hollywood. The Chinese chicken salad was invented in Santa Monica with an assist from Cary Grant.
LA is America they invented fast food and mass produced video pornography we are nothing as a culture without these things
not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients' records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money.

This is murder.

Fun Science Fact: to perceive a sound as "twice" as loud, generally you're looking at in increase of 10db.

Montreal the other night hit 105db (IIRC), but the Canes have topped 109 before, or nearly 50% louder than Montreal was.

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

What would I ask? "What was your analysis of the Houthi Bombing in October? What counsel would you give POTUS regarding next actions?"

"What should the US strategy be in Syria ?" " How would you counter Chinese aggression on the south China Sea ?"

"How would you assure civilian oversight of DOD"
