This is very cool. I would love to see this. I'm not really into ballet at this point, but this would be worth seeing. http://www.npr.org/2017/07/20/538363343/golden-anniversary-of-balenchines-jewels-bring-3-ballet-companies-together http://www.npr.org/2017/07/20/538363343/golden-anniversary-of-balenchines-jewels-bring-3-ballet-companies-together

Oh, come on GOP.

Oh, come on GOP. What the actual frak is wrong with you people? Someone like this is not going to just stop at one or two cherry picked agenda items. They are going to abuse their power to try and drag this country back culturally to before there was a United States. They wouldn't uphold and defend the Constitution if you paid them to. Do you have any idea at all what you are doing? Do you even care? http://www.npr.org/2017/07/20/538363825/conservative-political-blogger-confirmed-for-seat-on-federal-appeals-court http://www.npr.org/2017/07/20/538363825/conservative-political-blogger-confirmed-for-seat-on-federal-appeals-court

Furthermore, women who marry outside the community are not allowed to raise their children in the faith. I think we may have found an easily solved part of the problem, people. Ahem. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-40628310 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-40628310

Oh, dear. Burundi is next to Rwanda, in case that helps any with context.

Oh, dear. Burundi is next to Rwanda, in case that helps any with context. Hundreds of people have been killed in violence in Burundi since April 2015 following a failed coup attempt, according to the United Nations, and rights groups accuse Burundi's security forces of carrying out serious rights abuses, including killings and disappearances. Burundi's government often dismisses the allegations, saying they are based on false information supplied by the regime's opponents. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/burundi-robotics-team-missing-after-competition-in-dc/ http://www.cbsnews.com/news/burundi-robotics-team-missing-after-competition-in-dc/

Jesus.

Jesus. Why is it that we can nimby after there's a problem, when we don't want it to affect us or we don't want to have to see it, but we can't seem to get it together to nimby to solve or prevent the problems in the first place? This reminds me a lot of the resistance to needle exchange programs and programs giving out clean needles to stop the spread of hepatitis and HIV. And the photos. They remind me of the photos from the depression and the dust bowl. The despair, the hopelessness, the abandonment. Color softens the edges the way black and white photos wouldn't, but it's the same terrible images of loss. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40637288 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40637288
