I would laugh more about Bill Belichick not getting into the hall of fame because of petty old dudes, but i also know this means Bob Kraft will get in when they announce it in two weeks so that’s going to be fun!

Taunting is not a justification for arbitrary executions. Collective guilt is contrary to the rule of the law. Resisting the state— even if unlawful and prosecutable—doesn’t justify a death sentence. Our colonial ancestors rejected that agents of the state are absolutely immune for their wrongdoing.

The thing about the Boston Massacre— the fruits of arbitrary power— was not that the colonists were universally in the right. Things were thrown at the soldiers. But, the presence of a standing army escalated conditions. The use of force that night was not proportional. Citizens died needlessly.

So, if you're someone who follows the bureaucratic side of aviation safety, you probably already know about this, but if you aren't, you might not. This is something that I feel the need to raise awareness about. (1/10)

Obama saying “I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters” makes a lot more sense in retrospect

At Yonge & Dundas Jays fans are obeying the pedestrian scramble, as is the custom & returning to sidewalk each light cycle.

Mike Vrabel seems to spare rookie DT Joshua Farmer for his 15-yard penalty vs. the Bills, noting that he coaches players to play to the whistle and it appeared RB James Cook was attempting to lateral … and no whistle was heard.

The African-American veterans who gathered in 1887 to honor Thaddeus Stevens for his role in the "hopeless fight" for justice and equality did not do so because they believed they represented the zeitgeist or the silent majority, they did so because they knew they did not.

Dare we do any less?
Equality of Man Before His Creator
Last year, around Thanksgiving, my friend Cooper drove up from Washington D.C. to visit me in Lancaster, PA, where I was visiting family. Among other things, we went to pay our respects at Thaddeus…

My two favorite parts of the clip are

1) Letterman going ok I got it out of my system and stopping for three seconds before continuing to talk because he hates Jay Leno so much

2) referring to Jimmy Fallon by going “Conan has a job, I have a job, that…what’s his name Lonny Donegan? Has a job”

I always say I love my country the way Anthony Bourdain did, not as a benevolent state or one founded in innocence but as vast, beautiful place full of discrete people and cultures such as has rarely been attempted and worth fighting for.

On Sunday I traveled to the middle of the desert to capture this: The ISS against our sun. What I didn't expect: the sun producing a magnificent flare at the same time

A once-in-a-lifetime shot I'm thrilled to share with you. See the uncropped shot or get the print in the reply
