Happy to be supporting this short film from this excellent team. If supporting a "heartfelt coming-of-age comedy with a superhero twist that dares to put people who don’t look like Gal Gadot in a superhero suit!" is your jam please back SuperNed. kickstarter.com/projects/vin…
If the northern lights flash across the sky but no one is able to see it, do they really flash?

This @cmkshama/@RecallSawantNow recall effort in Seattle is a waste of time. If she broke laws during the protests, why is this the solution? (Same goes for Durkan and the SPD gassing people). Both groups should quit it and donate the money they've raised to housing.

By the way I live in the district, and the recall signs almost exclusively adorn the lawns of million-dollar homes. I don't agree with what Sawant did, but I'm way more concerned about the state of our public areas and our broken policing system.
Well done Smith Rowe. Everyone else - dismal. Arsenal have a lot of serious thinking to do about what they are trying to be and how they are trying to do it.

When I travel the country, I always drop into the best bookstores in each city. It's how you know a place. And Elliott Bay Book Company is a true gem in that magical kingdom of Seattle. A bookstore with true heart and an INCREDIBLE taste filter. Can't wait to return to its stacks

Foster care agencies have been taking money that belongs to some of the most vulnerable children. Most kids never know. This money is considered the children's property under federal law. trib.al/ma0DAC4
As a co-op member I welcome a rethink of the leadership. Instagram turned outdoor pursuits into a consumerist lifestyle and this is one result. @REI should be leading the fight against the commodification and commercialization of the outdoors. This does the opposite.
Replying to @Sammy_Roth
.@REI promoted the Bronco Sport SUV ads with the following subject line: "Load Up. Gas Up. Get Out.” The company tells me that was a mistake. Also, REI's director of sustainability said he was "not aware of the advertisement before its release." latimes.com/business/story/2…

When my healthcare provider website is processing online bill payments, their wait cursor is a heart with a beating EKG monitor line. Just a nice little reminder of the connection between by heartbeat and my ability to give them money.
Every. Damn. Time.

A professor of mine went to go hear Derrida speak once. The entire talk was about cows; everyone was flummoxed but listened carefully, and took notes about...cows. There was a short break, and when Derrida came back, he was like, “I’m told it is pronounced ‘chaos.’” – at Philadelphia, PA

Something's been bothering me: During international matches, EL footy commentators frequently refer to "a Swiss throw" or "a German free kick." And I wonder, how is a Swiss throw different from other throws? Interesting to consider, yes, but aren't they using bad grammar?
My DISCLOSE Act is pretty simple. If you’re spending more than 10,000 dollars in a federal election, you have to disclose your identity to the public. Like I said, pretty simple. Takes less than 280 characters to explain. #ForThePeople

“And, somehow, I was there at the flooding of the falls, even though I wasn't even born yet,” she continues. “I can go back to that place in time and remember how our people, how my mothers, cried in travail. Because what you do to the river, you do to the salmon.
