A line of Nazis at the Nuremburg rally, throwing Nazi salutes. Their backs are to us. Facing them is a hand-tinted group of child laborers from the early 20th century, squinting suspiciously at them.

i have very rapidly become incapable of thinking about anything that isn’t this video

When a person loses 1 sense the others are heightened. That's why people who have no sense of humor have an amazing sense of self-importance.

Can a plastic mail-order sex doll be a wiling adult participant in a relationship? Normal people say no but we spent 1600 words talking to Wayne, who lives in his mother’s shed outside of Indianapolis, to take the proposition very seriously, because we have grave perceptual and analytic deficits.

Ford government's 'special economic zones' law facing constitutional challenge | CBC News Ontario passed Bill 5, which included the special economic zone provision, last year in a bid to speed up approval and construction of large projects like mines. The provision allows cabinet and the environment minister to suspend any and all provincial and municipal laws within such zones as they see fit.

Good; for someone who championed against him, Ford is too "Trump-like" for my taste: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I was in a cab in Australia with a driver who had been in a similar position: he had an offer from the Edmonton Oilers, but couldn't take them up on it because he was in the immigration process in Australia and couldn't leave the country www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Through the window in the back of the shack, we see a detail from another Dore Old Testament engraving: bodies escaping The Flood.
