Yeah, there are certain things that are troubling: they seem like they have some training, they have zero scruples and they seem scared to show their faces. This can fit with a lot of groups. But we also have a recruiting problem. How many people like that, are looking for a job?

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Portland should just Stay Weird. Do a bracelet workshop on the sidewalk, teach guitar, do elaborate dance routines, give out free pour over coffee, do free manicures in prideflag colors, do a massive jigsaw puzzle, sell baked goods to support a local homeless shelter, give away artisanal lemonade…
