Buy J.M.'s book! It is genuinely so good and fun with great action scenes and Jesuit shit (complimentary) and I would really like someone to make it a movie please so I can see the big crazy St. Peter's sequence on a big screen.

Again, just in case people lose sight of this amid all the other crap: There is NO EVIDENCE AT ALL of a problem caused by trans inclusive sports policies. Every story you’ve heard isn’t what happened. This is the far right getting its way because of weak media.

Trump II as very specifically an effort to erase JFK seems like an underdiscussed angle. Bulldozed Jackie's rose garden, threatening to bulldoze the Kennedy Center, stripped the Kennedy blue off Air Force One, shuttered USAID, put JFK's animal torturing nephew in charge of reviving polio, now this

President Trump wants to build a 250-foot-tall arch. If completed, it will cast shadows on many graves and monuments in nearby Arlington National Cemetery, the @washingtonpost.com's 3-D analysis found. On some days, Trump's arch would even shade the grave and eternal flame of JFK.

I have a theory that all "Great Men" of history can be sorted into either "and the device shows me boobs?" or "the moon in the fucking sky?" Lenin, Trotsky, Adam Smith, and George Washington are all "went to the moon?" Ben Franklin, Hamilton, Socrates, and Bakunin are instances of "shows me boobs?"

This article is heartbreaking, but the issue it highlights is much broader than obstetrics care. There's a chasm between public's understanding of what is possible with modern medicine and their understanding of the complexities that come with those accomplishments

Side angle is best view here and directly in line with what first base ump saw. Overhead view is misleading because it’s back behind the plate, not directly above it. No chance that’s a swing.

Rate of gun deaths per 100k population is more than twice as high in the US as in Somalia. Nearly half of the civilian held guns in the world are in the US. The US has more guns than people by a significant margin, a ratio no other country comes close to.

"Winning is the best deodorant," Al Micheals quotes in reference to trying to get Cleveland fans to embrace Deshaun Watson after vaguely referencing the 'issues we all know about' without ever actually mentioning the dozens of sexual assault allegations and nearly two dozen related settlements.

Like consequences of his own actions are some hardship that was imposed on him. Like he is some inspiring comeback story. Like none of those women matters at all. It is downright deranging to listen to.
