I listened a news story about this yesterday and lo, before me, I saw future news stories from about a decade or so in the future, showing how this stupid Ark trashed this small town’s finances and killed their tourism hopes like a million dumpster fires. It was like I was *there*.

I don’t know. Does being kind of racist disqualify one from anchoring news shows these days?

No, you get dismissed for shitting on the memorial of someone who may have been a polarizing figure by the end of his life, but who was almost robbed of that life by hatred.

Rita Ora has been hospitalized for exhaustion.

Re: college affordability, making two-year degrees free to in-state students at community colleges is one of the central tenets of her college affordability plan.

Fresno here! Yeah, Stockton sucks. It just... Sucks... It’s not Stocktons fault though, this whole valley sucks in ways. I mean it’s 105 degrees 7 months of the year and lately the pollen count has been so high the tweaks are trying to convert their meth back to sudafed.

Also - ‘vile necklace’? *sigh*
