Snow! Snow! Snow!

Its called "the graveyard of empires" for a very good reason. Every global power has thought theu could waltz in and roll over any opposition. Every one failed.

I've never seen it. Thanks for sharing!

When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An' go to your God like a soldier.

Rudyard Kipling- The Young British Soldier. There are happy poems he does but this one still shocks

I'm surprised to see the elder abuse and commercialization of his life continues even after his life does. Ffs let the man rest in peace. Honor his memory by reading his books

Piecemeal. Even when you desperately want to tell science stories finding the places that will let you and pay you for it can be brutal, especially in a multimedia platform.

The failure and resurrection of Hubble from its flawed lens also made it more iconic and more anthropomorphized. There are tons of space telescopes, Hubble and Webb are just the two most famous.

An exquisite corpse from the league of Disreputable aunts would be epic. I'd buy it!

Amen! For as much as I don't love the Captain Underpants books as an adult. The message that the world is better when you and friends draw comics and tell stories is exactly the message I want my son to have

I have family in menswear. They have knowledge of the best button makers in Thailand, how to source a bolt of Egyptian cotton fast, what mass seamstress shops are quality for value. Fashion, so far as Ive seen, is 2% drawing 1% designing and 97% logistics and contracting.

The idea that someone in fashion, which is literally a globalized mass manufacturing TRADE doesn't think about, know about or care about global trade and manufacturing is laughable to me. Do these people think cars are the only things manufactured in the world?

Worse! They might have to actually PAY you!

Another amazing Iranian place broke most of these rules in that it was clean, well lit and polished, but the shrine to the ousted shah showed that it was truly legit.

There's an Ethiopian bakery near me that does amazing cakes. Tiny Cafe, tile floors, minimal english in anykne over 25 but absolutely packed with African cabbies. And coffee and pastries I still dream about.

I can't speak for your editors, but for as much as people slam "editorial" I've never found an editor who wasn't willing to talk through why the writer wants the change and why they don't. Professional creation is a team sport.

The commentary about examining how America treats its monsters is going to keep me up at night. This was amazingly well done. I knew he was atrocious, but god I had no clue.

... is not an “office of the United States” and that the president is not an “officer.” That is certainly an odd thing to conclude. If the President is not an officer, who the hell is?! /2
