There are episodes of Sesame Street from the 70s and 80s that are paced like the Deer Hunter. 12 minutes of a camera pointed at a fire hydrant while children play in the water. Insane.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska.
We need systemic change if we're going to lower costs, save our fisheries, and fill our homes with abundance again.

Jimmy Fallon doing his monologue tonight. Half the Roots are gone. He delivers a joke about NBC’s The Voice, that will be good cross promotion, but no one laughs. He is in a Stygian void. A sphere emerges, pulsing, psychically touching him. “Yes, I’d love to do a commercial for Kohl’s” he says
