WTF? I thought this train wreck was only on CNN. Why is it on NBC instead of the Olympic trials?

Without fact checking, this debate is more of a misinformationfest. Olympic trials, here I come.

I've always been baffled by the logic behind the (solstice-based) fact that the sun period gets shorter starting with the first day of summer (okay, 2nd day). I guess it's all about the tilt, but still, wth? Those people living on the equator have it figured out though, or so I've heard.

Nikola Tesla is turning over in his grave, except for the fact that his ashes are sitting in a spherical urn in Belgrade. Still, that urn is spinning like a top.

Florida resident here, who's also lived in 7 other states. It's the worst politically. Almost everyone I meet here thinks he's awesome. I guess they love authoritarianism. Supposedly term-limited, but the legislature will change that any day now.

Back in the day it was "In online learning, nobody knows you're a dog" (with a photo of a dog with her paw on the keyboard). Now the same will apply to work meetings. Such progress we're making as a society.

TNT may lose the NBA contract, and people are saying that losing “Inside the NBA,” the TNT studio show would be catastrophic. Really? Not for me (and not for my mute button).

Yes, this is somewhat worrisome. Would be totally worrisome if he could actually do it. An amendment cannot be abolished. It must be repealed by a new amendment. A new proposed amendment must be approved by a 2/3 majority of both House & Senate. That won't happen. The end. Now a coup....well...

The first three bars I go to all have many TVs. Not one of them is on the Wolves and Mavs game. That's everything you need to know about the sports scene in Daytona Beach.

I have three major pet peeves with speakers who should have something more useful to say, but apparently don't 1) with that being said 2) at the end of the day 3) does that make sense?

"With that being said" is being said way, way, way too freaking often.

The T-Wolves have never won the championship, never even made the Finals. Now, a freshly promising team, led by star shooting guard, Anthony Edwards, has captivated International Falls and Brainerd.

Everything I need to know about IHE is demonstrated by the fact that even these stories are paywalled. Seems like an opportunity to gain new readers rather than repel them

The judge has no sense of irony. Should have ordered him to be chained while in the block.

Saw a similar graphic on different news network yesterday. Her title is "Adjunct Associate Professor?" I know Columbia is all special/unique, but which term rules here? Adjunct? or Associate Professor? Is this a way of saying you are an adjunct (with no job security) but we really respect your work?

The best part of #D2LFusion is learning from all the speakers who share their knowledge.
Second best, IMO, are all the various networking events including the annual social event. This year we'll be the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Home of the Stanley Cup! (www.hhof.com)

Remember that Root was the guy whose main claim to fame was selling his sports betting tips (it's a lock!!) on cheesy cable shows when sports betting was illegal in 99% of the country. He also sucked then.

Alternatively, you could say it's the 2nd one in six and a half years, so what's the big deal? The Northern Lights are far less rare and far more spectacular, IMO. Call me Barry Bummer.

My kid wants to go to Vandy. I told her I'd put $100K into a Roth IRA, indexed to the S&P or NASDAQ, every year for 4 years (okay, 5, let's be honest). She'll be a freaking gazillionaire by the time she's 45. That'll help her pay for my nursing home. Win, win.
