As a librarian, I watched people’s research capabilities degrade in the age of Google. Maybe we will be forced now to relearn how to use databases now that even Google keyword searches are worthless.

In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.
If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

Lindsey Halligan's confession that she didn't re-present the indictment to the grand jury creates problems even beyond the fact that that likely means there's no indictment.
