Was fully convinced at first that wasn't Montgomery so tried to dig into who the guy was that didn't face the camera. Spent way to much time trying to narrow down what episode it was from using just Jackson and Carter's hairstyles. Finally realized my mistake.

I have a new article out tonight where I offer an apology to white evangelicals. I was wrong. You were right. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. And I offer no excuses.

Complaining about it never seems to change anything. I think we all just have to commit to moving these off the sidewalk and into the road whenever we see them.

I wish Google Maps would stop encouraging rat running. If you're heading south on Connaught Ave to Bayers Rd it always suggests cutting down Edgewood/Micmac instead of going to the lights. Government really should intervene on this. Though, if they set residential to 30kph it might solve itself.

Honestly, some of the best and edgiest comedy in recent weeks have not come from these comedians but everyone else making fun of them.

But as with all guys yammering about free speech, what they really are against is being the butt of the joke.

Listen, I know it’s completely unhinged to reply to this with a link to a half-hour episode of television. But along with the children’s book plot there is a side plot of a bachelorette party with Olivia Coleman. www.dailymotion.com/video/x40vbw4

Seconding The Anthropocene Reviewed. Some episodes will definitely make you cry…but a good cry. You can jump in at any episode but for you I’d recommend episode 21 “Capacity for Wonder and Sunsets”

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."
