This analysis seems sound to me.

It's become a 1984 cliché, but: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

An analysis of footage from three camera angles show that the vehicle appears to be turning away from a federal officer as he opened fire.

Found out that freezing rain can block the fan on the outdoor unit of my heat pump, shutting the whole unit down.

Also found out how to melt it free and reset the unit.

Whee! Why did I leave Australia, again?

Somehow, I've lost a pair of trousers. How? Maybe I genuinely was too naughty this year?

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

A friend and I went to the last night of the triple-threat Canadian rock tour by The Tea Party, Headstones, and Finger Eleven in Halifax last night.

Headstones: still punk as ever, though it never has as much impact at arena scales. #HaliSky

Trump attacks McCain: 'I like people who weren't captured'
He takes his feud with the Arizona senator to a new level.
