This is stray cat that has wandered the neighborhood for a while. We have started feeding her and now she often hangs around the porch. We call her Midnight. Happy #Caturday

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

When I wrote about the ancient Zanclean megaflood filling the Mediterranean in as little as 12-18 months (!), it was wistfully.
I'm English. Lovely place, England, but Big Geological Drama? None of that round 'ere, sadly.
Imagine my delight at what geophysicists found in the English Channel.

This is fascinating. Could Haligan been trying to get ahead of a story she feared was coming out? Or the two fired officials the source of the information to NYT?
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

This is the real reason Jimmy Kimmel is being taken off the air.
Brian Stelter: "Nexstar already owns lots of TV stations. It wants to merge with Tegna, which owns lots of other stations. In order to do that, it needs Brandon Carr, the FCC Chair's, permission."
