First off, if one of my family was hired by ICE, they would be disinvited to Thanksgiving. I have the opposite of thanks for the existence and operations of ICE. If you can't shun them, this is a good list of ways to let them know you hold them in contempt.

Here's a little vent about selfies: if you are taking them to document how you looked for your own information, hooray! If you are taking them to post here, and I don't care if you are a female makeup artist or a gym bro in flex mode, NO. Just no. Sure, I just pass 'em by, but I'm also sick of them.

No one fails quite as thoroughly as Cheetoad and his minions.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

I'm deeply upset about this, yet another Trump-fomented death for science in the public good. Hurricanes, tornadoes, now earthquakes. www.nbcnews.com/science/tsun...
