Thoughts On A Ninja Sword Ban An understandable decision to bar ninja swords in the U.K. hits differently to me given its somewhat censorship-friendly climate of late.

"Fox's daily coverage of Gabbard's revisionist claims serves a key purpose for Trump: to redirect Americans' attentions away from the Jeffery Epstein files — something the president has demanded."

How Ed Sullivan Quietly (and Loudly) Became a Civil Rights Icon Sacha Jenkins' Netflix doc 'Sunday's Best' re-examines the television host's fight for racial equality, one groundbreaking musical act at a time.

"You wonder what he would have said about Colbert’s current situation, in which a host of a popular TV program spoke out against what he considered to be injustice on a mass scale and was unceremoniously given the hook. The network that fired him? CBS. His home base? The Ed Sullivan Theater."

Ada and Her Family Fled El Salvador. She Died Alone in the New Mexico Desert Hundreds of migrants’ bodies have been found in the past three years in the Sunland Park Triangle, where New Mexico borders Texas and Mexico.

“There’s no mention [in the media] of what we find in the desert, which is like bibles, and love notes, and keychains with pictures of little kids, and all these clothes."
