Probably would be easier to say when did we not?

The most notable example that comes to mind is the guy who perpetrated the My Lai massacre getting house arrest, that only happened because of leaked documents going public.

But it's not the only one. Our soldiers love to take selfies with human trophies, and nothing meaningful happens when they do.

This is your reminder to bank with a credit union if possible in your area. Non-profit is the way to go.

And, as an added tip, lots of credit unions let you open a line of credit that automatically draws if you accidentally overdraft, thereby avoiding fees.

We totally accepted it when Americans said they were following orders, though.

No, it doesn't.

But it does force them to reconsider their bullying instincts.

I'm 100% sure one of my dogs thinks this, because he will stop and stare at me when I drop the leash until I pick it up.

I mean, yeah.

One of the hallmarks of our species is its insatiable, irrational greed.

Every single protest should have an armed contingent in America. That is the only way cops will take you seriously, but make sure you dot the i's and cross the t's, because your permits better be current.

Historically assassination doesn't really work out well, and I'd imagine that's doubly so here, where the president's really just a sock puppet for the billionaire class.

We do this because being in that specific physical space helps us do the thing.

Also it's hot out.

I'd also add that people who don't work out probably shouldn't make memes about it.

You've got Batman mixed up with the Punisher, OP.

It's astonishing.

The capitalists know full well we're more productive working remotely, but their need for control has proven to be stronger than their insatiable greed anyway.

Just another example of something that could be universal if we taxed the rich appropriately.

FLINT—Eight days after entering the world, Khi’Meir Taylor made another debut — this time in what could be a national spotlight.

Wednesday was the first day of a $55 million experiment to test whether cash payments can protect children from the toxic stress of poverty.

I just thought it would be cool to put this out there. The Satellites featured several local skaters from Fountain City Roller Derby: Tiff (a former Team USA skater), Mel Malice, Aneeda Hurtcha, Annie Maul, and Queen of Hurts. As if that wasn't cool enough, Olympic Gold Medalist Erin Jackson was also skating for the Satellites.

Pretty. Effing. Rad.

Personally, my favorite is the Viking of Stamford Bridge. The thought that one man taking out 40 English soldiers and completely altering history in one epic fight is just awesome, and no one recorded his name.

They just gave him a kickass title instead.

Awesome.

This is the picture I like to show artists when they hate their stuff after a single layer of work, because I hate all of my stuff after a single layer of work, but it's important to remember it's a process.
