This seems like such a preposterous idea to me. You can buy an acre of land for $2 and just... just own it? I don't mean land ownership in general but rather a situation like this. So some company can just buy up the prairie and then a

I think it really depends on the state of your life. Anyone with some major underlying issues that they've been ignoring is bound to have trouble being alone with their own thoughts. The same might apply to those with smaller problems

Do BBC and NPR actually buy Facebook ads? Especially NPR, I feel like it's not exactly the type of organization that would like Facebook or want to do business with them.

It's also worth noting that this happened in the space of a day or so, a very quick countrywide expansion. There are supposedly reports that the White House is on lockdown due to the people protesting outside.

I love the clash of deeply detailed language like "we vaporized the samples and used ‘Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)’ and separated the molecules" with them using 'black goo' as a term. I am fascinated th

It's always a bit sad to see people rely on the chance charity of others, even if, in most cases, these others come through. The Navajo people have been let down by the people ruling over their land (no, I don't mean the Navajo le

I'm still not sure how I'm feeling about ending the lockdown this early, but the initiative is great and I'm glad to see the government helping its people and businesses. Not to mention that last paragraph. How feasible is it

It's mildly amusing, sure, but publishing a rehash of a joke made on April 1st two weeks later, on April 15th, feels like seeing someone lag in real life. The paper should have been just left alone to be discovered by someone later as

Because it's likely cheaper to bust unions once in a while than to raise standards overall and forever. Or, at least, that's what the executives think or what their right-hand people tell them. Ultimately, you could probably gathe
