Dear Americans, I love you like a sister or brother, but I'm not following you back because my feed is already swamped with US news. I wish you every success in your struggle to reclaim Democracy!

We are not ghosts.
We are not aliens.
We are not machines.
We are not gods.
We are you."

The Syrian civil war has killed hundreds of thousands, displaced millions, and caused poor health and widespread poverty—
Most of our work on war and peace focuses on the people killed directly in the fighting.

I’m having a hard time thinking of an interview between two human beings I enjoyed more than tonight’s interview of the great Ian McKellen by the great Stephen Colbert. Every moment of it was a pleasure that I highly recommend… but then came the most REMARKABLE ending that you really HAVE to watch.

It is an interesting choice, less sophisticated than using a widely used resource in a propagandistic way as part of a series of efforts to alter perceptions of the world.... to remove information completely betrays a clear preference for blunt ignorance.
The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!
