"I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? Why did we sink them?' He said, 'it's more fun to sink them.'"

Oh, no biggie. Just the president of the United States out there boasting about the commission of war crimes, to the uproarious laughter of his Nazi cohort.

Republicans revive squatting bill, targeting extended-stay hotels Proponents say it addresses squatters; critics worry it could erase Georgia Supreme Court protections for families living in hotels.

After the resolution, I spent the next few hours urging senators not to pass HB 61, which would allow extended-stays to summarily lock families out of their rooms for falling behind on rent and treat them as "squatters."

GA residents: contact your senator and ask them to vote NO on this cruel bill.

This is what Syrias looked like in Tehran today. It is raining oil. The street cats are covered in it. This is a colossal crime against humanity.

β€˜Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

β€œTehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."

Heartbreaking scenes of an iconic building in Glasgow engulfed in flames. A horrible hit for local businesses, the people of Glasgow, and for our city's history.

A friend tells me a 2-bedroom apartment they looked at in Cambridge, MA is 6800/month. I’m sure to move would also require first, last, and security ($20,400). That doesn’t cover moving costs.

Who is affording this? Who can afford this?
