Best evidence yet that, rather than bleu cheese, the moon is actually a cantaloupe.
A picture of the moon I took on a lovely clear night a couple of weeks ago!

Goodbye Disney/Hulu/ESPN subscription. It’s all about money so maybe millions of dropped subscriptions will overcome unconstitutional authoritarian pressure

People who put their religious beliefs ahead of our Constitution and facts and science should not be allowed to hold public office in America.

I learned about this library from @thisamericanlife.org
Boston Globe reports antics of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at Vermont/Quebec library that sits on Canada-U.S. border. She repeatedly stepped over taped boundary marker in middle of the library, referring to Canada as the "51st State" every time she stood in Canada.

Go USA!! (Get back to hating the Tkachuks again tomorrow)
My fellow Canadians,
I think we can all agree on one thing.
No matter if we win or lose this hockey game tonight,
In the morning, we will look in the mirror and see one thing has not changed.
We will all still hate the Tkachuks.

Once you - and everyone else - are clear of the wreckage, sure, go ahead and film. Otherwise, keep the damn phone in your pocket and get the hell out. Idiot.
What does it feel like to evacuate a plane that's flipped upside down on the runway? Pete Koukov filmed his evacuation from Delta flight 4819 and posted it on Instagram. Caption: "being alive feels pretty cool today" www.instagram.com/p/DGMEswSp9Vk/

Ugh. Transactional editorializing. Trump would understand.
“Because the career incentives of elite opinion journalism are such that there will always be upwards mobility for someone like me who criticizes Democrats more than Trump”

I have struggled with how to respond to Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook's descent into toxic masculinity and Neo-Nazi madness. While I have thought about quitting Facebook, I find great value in the connections and friends I have here, and it doesn't seem fair that I should lose that 1/4

I was initially so hesitant about audiobooks. I didn’t consider it reading (ableist as fuck, I know). But once I got used to it, holy fuck is it great. I’m reading while driving; while skeeting; while running errands; while too burnt out to physically read words. Life changing

Obeying in Advance: The Christopher Wray Story.
Eight years ago, then-FBI director James Comey tipped the election to Donald Trump. Today, his successor ensured that he will also be remembered for the destructive end of his tenure.
