A lot of people don't know "dumb" has a B in it. Know what else has a B in it? Beers. As in Friday Beers. Get out there and make your alcoholic grandfather proud!

At 16, Frederick Douglass beat his slave master in a fight.

At 20, he escaped on a train, disguised as a sailor.

By 40, he was one of the most famous men in America.

I was typing “lesser of two evils” and it autocorrected to “laser of two evils”. Honestly, that sounds kind of cool.

Frederick Douglass began his career thinking the American founding was forever tainted by the original sin of slavery. He ended it thinking that the Founders were visionaries.

What changed his mind? Our new video has the story.

Factors like restrictive zoning, costly and time-consuming permit approvals, and even activists opposed to their neighborhoods changing have made it incredibly difficult for some cities to build enough homes for the people who want to live there.

I’m absolutely heartbroken about learning that one of the Arizona Republic’s photographers, Rob Schumacher, has passed away. Gutted. Despondent. Much of my work for the past eight years at that newspaper had his photo artwork. May he rest in peace …

What causes civilizational golden ages? And what causes them to end? According to one scholar, it’s two sides of the same coin.

A new space weapon being developed by the U.S. military sounds like it came out of science fiction.

That’s because it literally did.

I couldn't care less about which actors and actresses are playing which roles in The Odyssey. We are getting a new Christopher Nolan movie. It's almost the equivalent of getting a new Beethoven symphony. Enjoy it! Lighten up.

At the current rate, the U.S. is only 10 years away from having nearly 80% of its budget go to mandatory spending … leaving only about 20% for everything from national defense to national parks.

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

Surprising fact: If you want to keep plastic out of the world’s ocean, the U.S. is the least of your problems.

Over 80% of the plastic waste in the ocean comes from Asia, where improperly disposed trash is often dumped into rivers that allow it to drift out to the ocean.
