It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

I produce all my TV shows on my own dime and offer them to public television stations for free. I support public broadcasting, and you should, too.

What you are really worried about: your PBS taxpayer funded traveling grift being cut.

This might seem like a normal painting, but look closer. That grey mark at the bottom is actually a skull when viewed from the right angle. It's The Ambassadors, painted by Hans Holbein the Younger nearly 500 years ago, and it is one of art's greatest mysteries...

More confirmation:
Jared Goff: "Pretty confused. What I do know, and I don't know if I'll get fined for this. But I do know that Decker reported. I do know that Dan Skipper did not. And I do know that they said that Dan Skipper did."

Copenhagen’s characteristic old harbor (called “Nyhavn,” or “New Harbor”) always puts me in a happy mood. Here’s a quick little video to give you a sense of the scene.

My best trip to Europe ever was in '73. I ran an ad in my high school paper, promising the opportunity to "feel the fjords and caress the castles" to whoever wanted to join me. The day after graduation, my friend Gene and I flew to Europe with Bert and Ernie (our backpacks) 1/11

How customers perceive your action is as valuable as the action itself. SVB announced their safety net on the same day as Silvergate's collapse. Customers perceived them to be related. It cost SVB $80B. That same action without Silvergate would have had < 10% the impact.

The Arc de Triomphe in Paris is one of the world's most recognisable landmarks. But... what actually is it? Here's one clue: it has a statue of Napoleon as a Roman emperor being crowned by the goddess of victory. And it was Napoleon who had the Arc de Triomphe built...
