Mueller turns up nothing substantial enough to touch Trump - which is convenient since the GOP Congress wouldn't act on it if he did find something. In the end, Trump disowns and abandons all the people who Mueller successfully prosecutes and declares it's time to move on. The media agrees.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
To all my fellow NE troublemakers.
George H.W. Bush, legendary ass-grabber.
Grolnick told Deadspin that “he reached his right hand around to my behind, and as we smiled for the photo he asked the group, ‘Do you want to know who my favorite magician is?’ As I felt his hand dig into my flesh, he said, ‘David Cop-a-Feel!’”
Solhberg confirmed Grolnick’s account, saying that Bush’s behavior didn’t shock her because other theater staffers “always complain that he’s kinda creepy.”
“They warned us, he gets pretty handsy,” she said, adding that “everybody in the room nervously laughed” after Bush “grabbed [Grolnick’s] ass.”
Oh Obama, please come back.
Six years ago, when Tom Emswiler moved from Washington, D.C., to Massachusetts, he saw something that shook him to his core: The sun went down at 4:11 p.m.
"I knew I was moving north, but I had no idea how far I was moving east, and so you can imagine my horror when in December the sun was setting" in the mid-afternoon, Emswiler told NBC News on Wednesday.
He began dreaming of a better future for the Bay State. An hour into the future, to be exact.
Emswiler, a 37-year-old public health advocate, is now one of 11 members of a state commission studying whether Massachusetts should leave the Eastern Time Zone and join the Atlantic Time Zone. In a region where winter darkness comes early, an extra hour of sunlight could be a boon for the economy and a godsend for public health, according to supporters of the shift.
Do it!
On a related note... We in the US are in the time of the year right now where sunrises are as late as they will ever be - according to our clocks. These three weeks have the worst mornings. Last Thursday, the sunrise where I am was at 7:25 AM. Today it was 7:32 AM. The Saturday after this, sunrise will be 7:40 AM. Blech! But that night, we leave Daylight Savings Time, and the following Monday, sunrise will be 6:40 AM. And even though it will gradually get later and later until early January, sunrise will never be later than 7:24AM until next October.
Once upon a time, Monday, TV stations in the US were required to maintain an actual physical presence (a "main studio") in the communities they broadcast to.
But as of yesterday, that's no longer true. Now, TV stations no longer need to have any association with the local communities they serve. Now they can fall backwards into the welcoming arms of out-of-state conglomerates.
As always, thank the GOP.
Participants who imagined themselves with the ability to fly had no change in their political views.
The Israel Police mistakenly arrested a Palestinian worker last week because they relied on automatic translation software to translate a post he wrote on his Facebook page. The Palestinian was arrested after writing “good morning,” which was misinterpreted; no Arabic-speaking police officer read the post before the man’s arrest.
Last week, the man posted on his Facebook page a picture from the construction site where he works in the West Bank settlement of Beitar Ilit near Jerusalem. In the picture he is leaning against a bulldozer alongside the caption: “Good morning” in Arabic.
The automatic translation service offered by Facebook uses its own proprietary algorithms. It translated “good morning” as “attack them” in Hebrew and “hurt them” in English.
When does Congress start the first of a half-dozen hearings on Niger-ghazi-gate?
Before he was in The Cult, Ian Astbury was in The Southern Death Cult. They sounded like a blend of early U2 and Bauhaus.
Just thinking what a great name that was.
