Does it bother anyone else that the Las Vegas hotel and casino is "Caesars Palace" and not "Caesar's Palace," or am I alone in this?

So delighted for @silviamg — « Mexican Gothic » is a huge deal (now literally, too)! If you haven’t read it, pick up a copy; I certainly enjoyed mine. #mexicangothic

Losing so many good people this year. I’m over 2020 now.

Sad to hear about the death of Robert Fisk. His book on Lebanon was an intimate insight into the civil war he lived through.

I visited Fisk in Beirut and was in complete awe of him and what he had witnessed. Fisk had profound influence as a journalist. RIP

Envelope addressed to the White House, found to contain ricin, was intercepted by authorities. #news @NYTimes https://t.co/xa5MLhxVjV

[CBC News Alerts @CBCAlerts]

The FBI has asked the RCMP for assistance after ricin was found in an envelope sent to the White House. RCMP spokesman Dan Brien says initial information suggests the letter originated in Canada. He says FBI analysis indicates ricin, which is toxic, was found in the envelope.

Many have been asking about the dog mentioned in the animal abuse file yesterday. We want to reassure you that Felony, now renamed Scout, was removed from his owner, is expected to recover, and as we understand, still has a very #boopable nose. @OttawaBylaw @ottawahumane
