"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism. Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

BRAVO, Skyline! BRAVO!! #DawnOfTheDawn

What are the odds?!?

What a day. Took my boxes of stocking stuffer jewelry, stuffed animals, and other handmade items to a Christmas bazaar and did about twice the business that I did last year. Maybe the word's out about avoiding big box mass produced goods? Cheers for micro-businesses!

I don't know why I assumed there were some lines we'd never, ever cross. Still, this is pretty shocking to me.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

The mental gymnastics Trump’s Tiny Johnson must do to deny any release of the Epstein files must be exhausting.

That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
