Fuck that shit...The City of Chicago is being terrorized by the federal government, the last time this happened in an American City was during the Civil War. And Trump is no Lincoln trying to keep the Union together, he's a dictator trying to destroy Democracy.

This world needs more Elton.

'And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple, but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world'

Nobody tags out a runner trying to steal second like Javier Báez. Nobody.

If you're wondering what was the longest game in Playoff history. It was the Astros' 18-inning, six-hour marathon win over the Braves in Game 4 of the 2005 NLDS.
The longest game in WS history was Game 3 of the 2018 World Series, where the LA Dodgers defeated the Boston Red Sox.

Agreed. One of the best in American literature. Wise really did a great job with this film.

A quintessential horror story. This film version does it justice. #TheHaunting #TCMParty

The opening paragraph of Jackson’s novel is one of the most famous in all of literature:

“Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills..silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.”

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason
