Fascinating article - I get why may people consider leaving - I have traveled enough (and loved The Netherlands) that I see why folks choose to move away from the U.S. to be there.
How to Leave the U.S.A.

Hummingbird battle - sad that this guy won’t share. I have two feeders, but the bird critics have let me know over the past 2 years that this one is their preferred - unanimously.

I’ve read about this film and watched the promo - Brendan Fraser films are generally good because he is the lead actor; I think this film looks interesting and will try to see it this week. Will report back.

This is just heartbreaking to me - this will devastate the food chain.
Why are Alaska’s rivers turning bright orange? Scientists have a theory.
The dramatic shift is a warning sign—and scientists say the changes that aren't yet visible to the naked eye are just as troubling.

I’m sure many of us can identify with Pavlovitz’ sentiments here. It hurts to leave friendships, but feels right to hold true to your ideals and live by them.

If you didn’t see Nora o’Donnell’s interview with Trump a few days ago, please read it here. Read carefully her questions and then his answers. Ineloquently bobbing, weaving and attempting to deflect the more direct, “difficult” part of Q & A.

I enjoy Borowitz poking the tiger - makes him look like the weeny baby-man that he is. Evil written all over him.

Thoughtful article on screens and screen time. Not pro or con - just what it is - everywhere, nearly all the time.

Kristin Bell. “Nobody Wants This”. I can’t stop watching even though I know it probably won’t be happy ending crapola. My kind of actors and scenarios. My heart is breaking in the first 10 minutes, because I just know where this is headed. Real life sucks sometimes.

Bless Robert Reich - he has been sounding the warning drum for years - I have listened, I believed him - and here we are. Not happy that he and others foresaw this and no one cared or thought they could act.
If you vote for Trump - shame on you.
