So for the first time I look at the maps of latitudes and temperate zones at the same time, and Hell yes human civilization is moving northward... It would probably do so even without anthropogenic global warming. All the best land and all the best weather is up here.
Being a world class moral idiot, Donald Trump has an uncanny ability to turn his critics into moral idiots too.
Case in point: Increased tensions between the Trump administration and the nuclear-armed, dynastic despotism of North Korea are leading major media outlets and the president’s partisan antagonists (often indistinguishable) to swoon over the North Korean delegation to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.
The story is weird and the reporting is weird and the people are weird and the painting is weird and the cooking is weird and the behavior is weird and the beliefs are weird.
Nice suit, though.
Now ask for a do-over on the portraits.

"Being a world class moral idiot, Donald Trump has an uncanny ability to turn his critics into moral idiots too."
Trump didn't do that. (Neither did Obama.) Media people were granting themselves moral carte blanche, and engaging in blatantly partisan cheerleading, decades before Trump was born.
But yeah. I've enjoyed watching the media people swoon over those robotic North Korean cheerleaders. If those women were from a Western nation, they'd be calling them Stepford wives.

America's chief abstinence advocate and mother of three is being divorced by the only man who impregnated her with a non-bastard child.
As if poor Sarah didn't have enough heartache with the restraining order against her eldest, who beat the crap out of his own father.

Nah, the portrait suits him, and his politics. It was painted by a gay, black artist who wants everyone viewing his work to know that he's a gay, black artist.
The sexual orientation and ethnicity of the artist is more important than the work itself. That's the Obama era in a nutshell.

That’s right, Rolling Stone is only now able to put this travesty behind them — at least legally. The magazine reached a final settlement in late December with the members of the fraternity that were falsely maligned in the story. The details have not been disclosed, but at least two members of the fraternity will be the beneficiary of the settlement.
That idea is beginning to pay off: in a study published Monday in the journal Nature Microbiology, he and his colleagues report the discovery of a new class of antibiotic extracted from unknown microorganisms living in the soil.
This class, which they call malacidins, kills several superbugs – including the dreaded methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) – without engendering resistance.

Mexico doesn't share two of the continental U.S.'s most important blessings: Her temperate latitudes ad her network of rivers.
But I'll never understand what's going on down there.
