So the Nigerian Prince attended the opening, then?
Anti-gun violence protesters shut down major Chicago freeway
No news yet, on how many protesters were shot
Those people look way too comfortable.

For me, there is nothing like Google street view for seeing places in the world before I go to visit. It isn't very good in rural places though.
I read that there were power outages today in Los Angeles due to high demand from their heat wave. I hope that they have enough green energy to handle it.
@Clyde,
You ever been to the San Fernando Valley in summertime? It's bleeping hot! I used to spend summers in Van Nuys. Damn hot. But it was a fun era. In the early evening, when the temp would drop below triple digits, us kids would often street race, which was fun and exciting at the time, but probably incredibly stupid and dangerous.
Any Brewers fans on here who can tell me why in their game today against the Braves the logo on their jerseys said "Cerveceros"? Wouldn't "Bierbrauer" have been more appropriate?
When I was in law school, my con law professor (Michael Gottesman) never once allowed himself to speak with condescension to anyone in the classroom, regardless of what they said. I was in my 30s in that godforsaken place that is a law school con law class, and I noticed that (Gottesman was in his 50s, at most, maybe his 40s) the professor treated everybody with respect.
I wish these comment sections were more like that. Sometimes they are.
Look, we all get information where we can. Sometimes, as today, walking through the July woods and noticing the hundreds of details (insects, particularly lepidoptera but also dragonflies and a few magnificent hymenoptera, and millions of different slants of light on and through hundreds of different tree-leaves, and of course above all the blue sky, with its adorable and amicable summer afternoon clouds, trust me, and there was the birdsong too, and the sound of the safe reliable engines, up in the sky, of the jet traffic) people like me sometimes reflect on the fact that we have read, for dozens of hours, unfair and spiteful arguments on "a screen".
If I put some effort into it, I could easily list dozens of "commenters" on this site and other sites who were viciously antagonistic to me, and I probably was more insulting that I needed to be oftentimes too, to commenters who were antagonistic, and once or twice to commenters who weren't. Nobody is perfect .....
Sometimes I think I do understand how much people care about each other, and I also think I could give a pretty good guess as to how often people fail when given the opportunity to care. And sometimes I hope that other people know all this stuff much better than I do. Time will tell.
People talk about how scary the Book of Revelation is but if you google imaged (Revelation Bible quotes) it last year you would have found lots of nice quotes and lots of wonderful pictures, demonstrating that the Book of Revelation, just as much as any other Book in the Bible, is full of hope and love and understanding. Probably if you google image it this year you will find the same results, or almost the same results. God loves us all, even people who have told me they hate me. Magna est veritas et praevalebit ,,,,, if you are that one person who is reading this and who has said hateful things to me on this website, well, remember this: God loves you as much as God loves me. I know that and I want you to know that too. Wake the f**k up, my friend
Of course, there is ultimate hope in the book of revelation, but those who have not availed themselves of the message will be accountable.
narciso - if I were a good person i would have availed myself of that message in about 1985 or so, I didn't ....
Sadly, I was born in a family where people were not all that kind to newborns and infants and toddlers ant to little kids, each of which I was over the years, and I have no way of knowing what sort of person I would be if I had not been treated, as a child, as someone who had little value as a human being.
so I am not gonna trash talk anyone under the age of 100 who has not yet availed themselves of the right message
life is hard, God loves us of course, but life is still hard - even if you are 100 percent sure, as I am, that God loves us all - if you are not one of the lucky people who has been surrounded by good people from your earliest youth
I grew up Catholic high school college graduate school, but I've got a more solid appreciation in the last eight years, religion often has become the opposition to true faith.
"the last eight years" God bless you. I have gone through bad times in the last eight years but as bad as the times have been I have not for a moment thought that God has forsaken me.
No you misunderstand, I always my faith, however I've gained a deeper appreciation.
The notion we are not fighting but principalities and powers of the air is more
Clear.
Bizarro has been reading Althouse.
Sorry, Narciso, I actually understood, but pretended that maybe I did not because sometimes I am not all that bright
but I did understand
thanks
The cave rescue mission has begun. Godspeed.
stupendous
Freeman Hunt: Godspeed indeed. Let us pray for perfection: such prayers have been answered before.
praying for them.
In another, this one from Reuters/Ipsos, the Dems are cratering among the millennials they’re trying to build their party around — dropping from 55 percent support over Republicans two years ago to 46 percent now. And among white millennials the numbers are catastrophic. Two years ago with white voters between 18 and 34, Democrats held a 47-33 edge over Republicans; now it’s 39-39. And with white male millennials it’s an almost unimaginable swing; what was a 48-36 Democrat advantage is now a 46-37 GOP edge.
These are the same white millennials that the Democrats had convinced that NOT seeing themselves as a racial interest group was a form of “white privilege.” The Democrats are once again playing with white nationalism as a concept. It’s like they play with fire because they don’t know fire is hot, as Orwell said.
So a pile of old computer junk on a table is art?

Done buddy, but I still can’t figure out how you can support Hillary. I would really like to hear what an honest and principled defense of her sounds like, just for the novelty of it.

Democratic senators running for re-election in Trump Country face an agonizing choice over President Trump’s coming Supreme Court nominee:
Yes, an “agonizing” choice. Either do what the people of their state want, and if they do that, the terrorists will have won, or follow the losing strategy of the national Democrat Party. The tragedy is that they want to move further to the left, but the voters just don’t agree with them. It’s horrible. Some might say, “Why not do what you believe and accept the consequences at the polls, you know, practice little ‘d’ democracy?” but that would mean giving up power, our precious, and that’s impossible. So it’s tragedy, I say it again.
On Joe Rogan Experience #1139 - Jordan Peterson, the liberal darling intellectual of the alt-right, makes the point that increased bandwidth has made long-form audio-visual chats and talks is a new Gutenberg-level revolution that will transform society for the better.
