Seizing the property of private organizations to punish dissent is totalitarianism.

It is illegal, anti-Conservative, Soviet, and sickening.

Yet people who drool ‘freedom’ whisper not a word to object. Lift not a finger.

James Lovell, the astronaut who commanded the Apollo 13 spacecraft, where he famously warned, “Houston, we've had a problem,” and who was portrayed by Tom Hanks in the iconic movie, has died. He was 97.

If Trump is forcing his own pick out, there's likely a scandal brewing they're hoping to get ahead of.

Political science people - I'm not an expert in this area. Is it normal to have 7+ IRS Commissioners in the same year?

Astronaut Jim Lovell, famed Apollo 13 commander, dies at 97 Lovell was also the first astronaut to go to space four times and part of the Apollo 8 crew, the first to launch on the Saturn V rocket and first to orbit the moon.

I frequently give people who work with me a copy of this old tweet so they can understand what I'm saying.

I was raised on floppy disks and fear.

A genuinely good part of the old Republican aesthetic is how it sought to play down wealth, an impulse born from Protestant values. You can see this in how Bush dressed and decorated his living spaces

That aesthetic now replaced by gilt detailing designed to remind you that the occupant is wealthy.

Nothing— and I mean nothing— about this decision is more than the bare desire to harm.

This really feels like a defining post of our time

Boston woman says she was bitten by a rat while walking in Fenway area A woman in Boston claims to have been bitten by a rat​ while she was walking down Mountfort Street in the Fenway area Friday night.

"I feel like a really sharp pain on my left feet, and I was like 'Oh God what is this?' I thought it was like a bunny; it was so big.

My boyfriend pulls his phone out, puts the flashlight camera on, and I see it bleeding and I'm like 'Oh, that rat probably bit me.'"

I would be deceased.

Would You Rather: (for one month)

A.) have a cynical MFA-wielding poet follow you around as "research" taking notes and occasionally chuckling to himself

If you feel the weather in your bones, this might be why Meteoropathy is an emerging field that studies physiological reactions to environmental changes, especially barometric shifts.

Some people feel the weather in their bones. A storm rolls in and so do headaches.

For years, this phenomenon was dismissed as imagination or coincidence.

Now, with sharper tools and more data, researchers are taking weather-related symptoms seriously.
