@Joe_A_Cross @OhFredrik Land sakes, this. I splurged for front row balcony seats to see Gutenberg and I literally could not sit in the seat and have legs.

This morning, I wanted to extend my most devout prayers and deepest thoughts to the victims of the bear maulings at Heritage Village Retirement Community and their friends and loved ones. This was a terrible and senseless tragedy that could not have been avoided.

The most common French name for a bookworm is rat de bibliothèque, or “library rat”. However, my gran, who grew up in Ardes, would often refer to an avid reader as a buveur d’encre. It means “ink drinker”

Fahrenheit 451 was never my favorite Bradbury/dystopian fiction because it felt a little too blunt, too far-fetched in its metaphor— the state deploying high-tech 'firemen' to burn books to maintain its censorship regime? A bit on the nose.

Currently reevaluating that assessment

Fourteen years ago, when the big three automakers were struggling to stay afloat, my administration and the American people stepped in to support them. So did the auto workers in the UAW who sacrificed pay and benefits to help get the companies back on their feet. Now that our carmakers are enjoying robust profits, it’s time to do right by those same workers so the industry can emerge more united and competitive than ever.

By my count, of the 161 overt acts, 34 are predicate acts for RICO. You must prove 2 predicate acts. That's my first count. Let me know if anyone is coming up with a different number.

@memebuffet_ @GoodReddit Penn Jilette used to say he had glued a little bit of red foam onto his nose in his driver’s license picture. When people asked for ID he’d hand it to them and when they looked down at the pic he would palm a red nose out of his pocket and put it on so when they looked up…

You've probably seen this painting before — it's Ophelia by John Everett Millais, from 1852.

But what you probably don't know is that people once thought this kind of art was dangerous.

In fact, Ophelia is one of the most radical and controversial paintings of all time...
