One thing is for sure, the police don't care. My town is awash in (illegal) fireworks and off duty police. And if you call the police, they tell you they legalized them and they can't do anything, even though all they legalized are sparklers and other things that are not rockets or explosives.

I have nothing to say about the European Robin, but the American Robin is not the beast you make it out to be, they are lovely birds and I am happy to have them around.

Perhaps that is why it begs the question? Who cares what a squirrel's motivation is, they are running all over the f*cking street.

I love it when mimics outdo the thing they are mimicking, like, "yeah, but what if I kick it up a notch - why just look like an ant, when I can look like the most beautiful ant ever?"

I swear I thought that photo was Kasey wearing a "Monster Maroon" starfleet uniform, and I even thought for a second "was he in Wrath of Khan?" WTF is wrong with me?

Had 4 of these fly over my yard together one late summer day a few years back. My wife and i looked at each other and said "What the hell were those?" Gorgeous birds. Lifers for me too

True. We were always a "Time" family and Newsweek always seemed a bit creepier. Now it seems to have fully gone to the dark side.

This barely belongs in the comment section of an X post, let alone as a Newsweek editorial. What the hell is happening to our country?

That is true, though I feel like it is a bit of a pyramid scheme. Those who can pay are funding the scholarships and aid, and no one knows what the real cost is, or why. We know the professors aren't getting it!

Government student loans should be no higher than prime rate, or maybe just slightly above. That's it. Frankly, I'd be ok with zero interest, as investing in education reaps immeasurable rewards for society.
