One of my most cherished annual American traditions: Experiencing that thing I don't care about through your posts while I watch a movie or something.

We did a sleepette from Chicago to Glacier Park. The only thing to do is eat, sleep, read, look out the window and...drink. Best time ever.

I did the other way around -- Chicago to Portland. The trip is the reason, please do it because I know you will love it!

Calvert County is in the throes of a conservative takeover of its schools The all-white, six-member Calvert County school board’s policy removal is the latest in what some see as right wing actions by conservatives who join Maryland’s nonpartisan school boards.

A doctor friend thinks Trump suffers from porphyria, a genetic disorder characterized by confusion, agitation, and paranoia. King George III had the same thing and they treated him with leeches and arsenic, which today is known as the GOP healthcare plan.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

arguments over who would get blamed for a shutdown are insane. the median voter has no idea this is happening. the median voter knows one fact about politics and it’s that Donald Trump is the President

I guess Republicans could go with "It's the Democrats' fault there's a shutdown because they wouldn't obey us," and there are certainly D.C. reporters who are stupid or craven enough to parrot that, but it does seem fairly easy for any Democrat with a mouth and a microphone to refute convincingly.

they lured my in with their "independent journalism" line, but yeah, I canceled my "monthly support" as soon as the AI news came out.

Paris, 1944. It was a revelation to me that there were so many (disagreeing) factions resisting Nazis in Paris. bookshop.org/p/books/pari...
