Learning how to get your shit together at 2 AM so you can write a damn essay good enough to pass in the next six hours is an essential skill with VERY practical application in the real world.
Not learning how to do that deprives you later in life.

Fun game, glad Tolopilo got the win, and Conor Garland's goal is going to be on repeat tonight!
Coconuts, go!

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

I love these guys.
They work damn hard on their research and are a good hang. It's been great watching them hone their skills over the years, and I recommend following them if shorter educational vids with more than a dash of philosophy thrown in are your thing.

Federal judge busts the IRS in its illegal data-sharing scheme with DHS where IRS was giving ICE confidential info of undocumented immigrants WHO ARE PAYING THEIR TAXES to help ICE find & deport them.

Sure, why not offer the most effective Canuck forward?
Actually, I will be very impressed if the #Canucks do manage to trade Conor Garland this early. He'll have good value: no trade protection, cost certainty with his new deal, and can drive his own line.
That would be a rebuild. And a shock.

The thing that the writers of the US constitution never expected was that there would be hundreds of elected officials who would be so cowed, so weak, so self-serving as to allow such a spectacularly corrupt and vile man become king.

Well, this is awesome.
The US ice core research community, with international partners, has recovered valuable records of past climate from the Arctic & Antarctic since the 1950s.
Here is a sampling of cores—including 6,000,000 year old ice via NSF Center for Oldest Ice Exploration—at the NSF Ice Core Facility.
