Aw; Dutch actor Rutger Hauer has passed away. 1969 may have been famous for the moon landing, but in Holland, girls like me were also glued to the tv set when Floris was broadcast, with Hauer in the title role.
RIP the great Rutger Hauer: an intense, deep, genuine and magnetic actor that brought truth, power and beauty to his films. My personal favorites: Flesh + Blood, Eureka, The Hitcher, Blade Runner, Ladyhawke and Blind Fury.

4 yrs ago we drove the original route 66. Plus Seattle to Chicago. Then Rt 66 to LA and back to SEA on I-5. My spouse and I are white. We wondered about black people. What was driving Rt 66 like for them? During our research we learned about the Green Book. Honored the writers!
In the Jim Crow era, an aspiring black middle class took to the road.. For 30 years beginning in 1936, "The Negro Motorist Green Book" told them what hotels and restaurants wouldn't turn them away. I looked up places listed for Seattle. My story: tinyurl.com/y2vdwwh2

Compared to other photo's on the internet, Seattle received a great view of the #SuperBloodWolfWolfMoon yesterday. It was still kinda early, about 8pm, so the moon was still low enough to really see it. Thanks, Walter.

Well said. We all have known people like this. During job interviews they are able to make themselves sound like they're going to have the answers, but oh boy, watch out if they sucker you into hiring them.
It is amazing @GOP is only now beginning to understand that Trump has no endgame in his shutdown nonsense.
He has, and always will, tell you who he is: He says his "gut" is smarter than other people's brains, and that he doesnt need to study to be smarter. He acts w/o thinking.

OMG.
The Washington Post didn't cover The Correspondent's membership campaign. We pitched, they declined, which is totally fine, of course. But then this happened. They covered it. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…
