Yes, unfortunately there is very little transparency. For all of your life, most of the things you attempted to recycle - clothing, aluminum, glass, plastic - is now in a landfill, and a high percentage of it crossed at least two oceans first.

I’m reminded of the photographer who died in “Making a Murderer.” She didn’t deserve to die, but that’s no reason to ignore police misconduct. There are multiple criminals in the show - and only the two poorest, dumbest people went to prison, while the most powerful people walk free among us. I’ll continue to support t…

Forget the hair thing for a sec...

Now that they’re out of the compound, can’t they be detained as material witnesses? I don’t think that replacing one form of imprisonment with another is a good thing, but I imagine that there are some options here?

Raw Story is not a real news source. (I’m not even referring to their political bias.) They lie, they know they lie, and they don’t care.

Lisa, the Bible doesn’t have a single reference to gay people. Translators have invented those passages out of their own personal bigotries.  Before the translators, there were many more scribes, and before the scribes, there were countless boring regular people.  It’s all people.  There’s no invisible skyman…

(Tangent.) Trump nominated, and the Senate just confirmed, a woman who worked for a group trying to make homosexuality and bisexuality imprisonable crimes. She’s young enough that she’ll probably serve as a federal judge for the next ~50 years.

(The oldest known mummy with Lyme is from Italy. The bacteria itself is older than humans are. We can’t blame Obama for this one.)

Where do you get the idea that she was more popular than him? Hillary Clinton’s 2016 vote tally is smaller than Barack Obama’s tally in 2008 and smaller than his tally in 2012.

Cool fact! The Lyme parasite has been found in mummies! Humans have been fighting the infection for longer than America has existed.

I’m not afraid.  I’m mostly sad.  I never knew how stupid people are.  It all seems like such a waste.  If you have $15 to spare, give it to pretty much anyone else before you buy this “book” (pamphlet).

You’re too nice (“filter into,” “touch of”). His stupidity and narcissism drive and define the administration.

I’m so tired of listening to millionaires being “deeply offended” by the thing that their unpaid intern claimed to be offended by.  I go to the theater a couple of times a year, and I don’t need more of it IRL.

It’s named after a place - Camp Creek.

Controlled, prescribed burns are already a regular procedure. They’re done under the watch of specially trained wildland firefighters.

Yes, we need more perspectives like this.  Some Nazis are good people.

You may call your single stream service easy (for you, the homeowner), but it’s not easy for the rest of the pipeline, and there’s a high chance that all of your recycling goes to a landfill.

Michael Bilello, head of public affairs at the TSA, says that the workers at the bottom of the agency have “experienced pay discrepancies.” Bilello is paid in full to find vague and polite ways to say that his coworkers are not getting paid.  I say cut Bilello’s pay down to one-tenth, and use the savings to pay people…

Has “the exhibitor” been named anywhere?

PG&E has underground natural gas pipelines that have exploded and killed people.
