RIP my sweet, funny, and forever dorky love. I miss you deeply as now I know that I've loved you more than I thought. My beautiful Captain America, a constant presence in my life for 25 yrs and yet time didn't pass for us. Knowing you is to love you, how could I not feel for you? Just an absurd idea

People also forget that we have a rainy season every fucking year. It rains in the winter here, every year! But everybody forgets about that!

Stop saying we don’t have seasons, guys. I’ve BEEN to places without seasons. We are not Medellín.
This is what people don't understand about LA. This place is all about cars, sure, but most people sit in bumper to bumper traffic and don't actually know how to drive. Then you add rain and oil and it's like Spy Hunter out there
Also that first rain after a very long drought when all the oil pools up on the freeway, this is not the day to be on the freeway.

I say his gently, but…

There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.

Not because its government doesn’t fix it —

but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.

That’s the part that sits wrong.

The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.

If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

Next year's artists signed contracts to perform at "The Kennedy Center for Performing Arts." Since a venue with that name no longer exists, and one with a very division name many artists would not wish to be associated with does, they should be able to get out of their contracts.

In a pilot study, A.I.was able to accurately predict the type of coda, the whale’s vocal clan and the individual whale with over 90% accuracy.
... it might be possible to use A.I. to find patterns within the vocal data and eventually translate what whales were saying to one another.

Dear Senator Cassidy,

“We” didn’t. WE didn’t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Who’s our president? Say his name.
