To recap: yesterday, on a solemn day of remembrance, our president fist-pumped, gave the thumbs-up, whined about the FBI, whined about Hillary, bragged about his Puerto Rico response and gee it really makes you wonder why no decent human being wants this shitfuck at their funeral.

Florence is coming. This picture is remarkable for the absence of one particular thing - footprints in the sand. The beach was eerily deserted in KDH this morning. Looks like the evacuation order is working.

George W. Bush spent all of August 2001 ignoring a security brief entitled "Bin Laden Determined To Strike In The US" and it really makes you wonder what's in the security briefs that Trump is ignoring today.

Each processing package has many options. Each slider has many stops. Each can be used in conjunction with any and all possible settings on every other filter. So every image you produce is one choice among a literally infinite set of iterations? Or not? I accidentally ask more questions than I meant to and some of S&R's technically minded friends make your head hurt... [ 1,938 more word ]

Maybe it's just me but I'm thinking that the guy who shirked his military duty by paying his quack doctor to gin up some bullshit excuse about imaginary bone spurs can shut the fuck up forever about which athletes are patriotic or not.

Lake Albigna, near Vicosoprano, Switzerland, 2,163m (7,096 ft) above sea level. Dammed for hydropower in the 1950s, a gondola was built to transport equipment and workers to the base of the glacier fields. Today, the gondola transports hikers and rock climbers to see the spectacular indescribable color of the glacial lake, to climb the granite walls, and to hike through alpine meadows. The glaciers are disappearing rapidly; the lake is not far behind.

A prospective job applicant's first encounter with your brand may be a hateful, poorly designed, time-wasting ordeal. How many times a day do they just say no thanks? I received an email this morning from a company I tried to apply to this week. I abandoned the application because of the process. If you've applied for work online in recent years you know what I mean. [ 614 more words ]

No one could have predicted that handing the reins of power to an ignorant amoral fuckface with no ethical compass, stark barking mad from dementia and untreated tertiary syphilis and who worships only money and himself wouldn't work out so very well for the health of our nation.

In just twenty short months the US presidency has been transformed into a daily hellhole shitshow dumpster fire of corruption, backstabbing, scandal, greed, vulgarity, incoherence, confusion, and a kid mowing the lawn — so much winning, just as our founding fathers intended.

Thank god we elected the erratic and unstable ignoramus whose own staffers describe him in terms such as "idiot" and "fifth grader" and "professional liar" and "fucking moron," and not the lady who was careless with three emails oh my god we really dodged a fucking bullet there.

It isn't just the fake God & Country crowd that's pissed. And they shouldn't be the only ones raising hell. A lot of noise is being made about NFL fans boycotting the league this year because it won't "do something" about (mostly black) players taking a knee during the (apparently quite racist) national anthem to protest racial injustice.

Then Cooper Island seems a lifetime ago, the light, the endless bird calls, the sand, the cold and eternal, infernal wind. They are far away now. I returned to Cooper the following summer for a shorter stay, and after demanding a wall tent in which I could stand up and be out of the wind simultaneously. By then George met… [ 1,042 more word ]
