‘He has trouble completing a thought’: bizarre public appearances again cast doubt on Trump’s mental acuity Joe Biden was hounded for his age-related gaffes, but Trump’s increasingly strange behavior has largely been ignored

It's pretty notable to me that it's the US branch of the Guardian publishing this. Most of the other big national papers have been notable in their refusal to acknowledge the president's visible senility

The Sears Tower looking insanely creepy during a blackout, including the impression of a scary face topped by a crown of spikes. It looks like a giant humanoid evil robot or a demonic Minecraft creature.

My grandfather, Chad, the stuntman. At the peak of his career working for Warner Bros back in the 1930s, he was part of the stunt juggernaut of its day, The Adventures of Robin Hood with Errol Flynn. At the 0:45 second mark of this YouTube video you can clearly see him take an arrow to the chest.

I think that if you're a writer and you don't invent a word every now and then you're missing out on a solid chunk of the fun.

A comic about the Fantastic Four if they got each others powers. Due to their self esteems, Ben Grimm will always deem himself The Thing and Reed Richards will call himself Mr. Fantastic, no matter how they are changed. Also I don't own drhastings.biz anymore.

To be honest, I haven’t trusted Stephen Colbert ever since he conveniently abandoned all his right wing views as soon as he got hired to host a network talk show

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
