The alt-right doesn’t get to have alt-facts? That’s so not fair.

Female bees that lay eggs in “enemy” hives are “asexual”?

Sanders sounds like an old school social democrat. We need old school social democrats with Sanders’ courage and tenacity. We also need new school progressives with the same. By showing that somebody to the left of Tim Kaine can be heard, Sanders makes space for others. I realize that telling Sanders to listen up…

What you say about Lee is true, but he did fight for slavery and against the US government, and there’s a difference between condemning someone and not lauding them.

Bullshit. What some random dude claims about Trump is not and should not be “news.” There is plenty of tough reporting to be done on Trump, and none of it needs to draw on tabloid-worthy rumors.

You give Reagan too much credit. He happened to be in office when the gradual decline of heavy industry became a crash, and he, like Thatcher in the UK, chose to exploit the crash to break the back of organized labor instead of stepping in to soften the blow (while simultaneously giving rich folks big tax cuts), but…

Have to wonder if the Pegulas are also why the Sabres are doing worse than expected this year. Glad to have the teams still in town, but unhappy to see them continue to wallow along in the bottom halves of their respective leagues.

I’m sorry, what exactly does Apple stand for?

I find it very disappointing that any of these guys are making the pilgrimage to Sauron’s Tower. Maybe Shelob will pick them off on their way in.

If you think that “the Left” knew about this change ... or even knew about the Broadcasting Board of Governors ... you’re mistaken.

I applaud DOE for taking this stand. But how long can they hold out after Rick “The third one, I can’t. Sorry — oops” Perry takes over?

Since when is the pronunciation of the word data a signal of how much someone knows about data analysis? (Me = degree in CS, years of experience in data analysis, use DAH-ta and DAY-ta interchangeably depending on context.)

The fact is that most “facts” are provisional truths. They are “to the best of our knowledge.” It is a fact that the BLS announced that the unemployment rate was 4.6% in November; it is also a fact that the official unemployment rate was 4.6% in November, but it is not a fact that 4.6% of Americans were unemployed in…

China will chastise Trump, but I doubt they will get too up in arms (literally or figuratively) about this. Their ministers read the news. They know who and what Trump is. Fortunately for us and even more fortunately for Trump, they will almost certainly give him a lot more leeway than they would have given Clinton.…

1. My mantra throughout the episode was “Don’t kill Heath! Please don’t kill Heath!” He’s a bit whiny, but the actor is good — much better than Alana Masterson, though I enjoy her charming awkwardness — and the show needs a thoughtful guy.

But how many times can one person “melt down”? According to the press, he’s melted down at least half a dozen times since 2015. What does he do in between melts? Is he any different after he congeals, or is he the same old fill-in-the-blank? Come on! Just call them temper tantrums or strategic delusional outbursts, or…

In what way is this a “meltdown”? This is Trump continuing to do what he has consistently done so well: muddy the waters so much that his followers are happy to follow and everybody else gets lost in the slime.

FWIW, pretty sure that was not Beethoven’s 9th symphony. Sounded more like his 3rd, “Eroica.”

One legal expert said the settlement should have been for at least $50 million.

We should all register as Muslims if it comes to that.
