Remember, everybody, don't set your utility bills to paperless. Paying online is one thing, but getting paper bills sent to your house is an easy way to get utility companies to help subsidize the post office.

Been thinking a lot about how Superman calls his pal "Gary" when Gary asks him to. No interrogations, no deliberation, if his friend decides he would like to be referred to by a different name then he's down with that. It's literally the least he can do & it's a superpower we share with him. Decency

David Zaslav will be CEO of the new, Discovery-free "Warner Bros."

He traded reality TV to become the mogul of Hollywood's most storied studio.

And all it took was a failed $43b merger, the loss of half the company's market valuation, and thousands of jobs.

Why did Finland's forests change from a carbon sink to a permanent source of emissions in a few years? The reason is simple: emissions from the soil increased exponentially.

But what caused this explosion? There are at least three reasons for this, which I will explain in the thread below.

Easy to be flippant, but Trump going on the record to tell the media he is not in control of his govt and is being misinformed by advisors. Someone else is running the country.
