Anybody who ever says shit like this is too much of a wimp to be poor. A week of the added poverty fees would knock his ass out.

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

T. rex took 40 years to reach full size, study finds Tyrannosaurus rex may have taken far longer to grow up than scientists once thought. By analyzing growth rings in fossilized leg bones from 17 tyrannosaur specimens and using new statistical methods, ...

That's because they coddle them too much now. Back in my day, it only took 20 years for T-Rexes to fully mature, because they had discipline. Spare the rod, spoil the terrible tyrant lizard.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

I lived in Iowa for grad school and still get nostalgic seeing the grain silos and fields (here, about half an hour outside Bloomington, Illinois).

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks.

Beshear: We are building affordable housing in rural America. It looks like the average utility bill for each of those houses is going to be about $50 a month because we’re using solar panels. We’re embracing different parts of green energy in Appalachia.

I suppose I've reached a certain age when I'm unusually stoked (and pleasantly surprised) for getting blood lab results that are "within normal ranges." 💪

Preach.

Obama has the crowd at Jesse Jackson's eulogy hanging on his every word

He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
