Over the past two weeks, I’ve been following the attempts to smear the Jane Doe in the Cornell University gang rape case and redirect blame from the seven fraternity men onto her. As usual, this campaign is built on a mountain of lies and misogyny. spitfirenews.com/p/cornell-ja...

Debunking the smear campaign against the Cornell Jane Doe
Authorities, media outlets, and pundits are lying about this woman. But only her credibility is getting judged.

Some PAC needs to make a supercut of Trump's lavish descriptions of his ballroom with the price of various consumer goods at the beginning of his term and now scrolling across the screen. Maybe end with him dismissing affordability as a Democratic hoax.

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.

Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.

Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings,

In February of 2015 then South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley tweeted a similar energy conservation message on Facebook.

Somebody might need help, but it’s not always safe to ask. The wrong person won’t help, and might hurt. The right person isn’t always readily identifiable, so I don’t care if it’s corny: Signal your intent. Be the one who helps.
Meme of a cat chewing on a half-eaten corn cob - it reads: you’re afraid to be corny, but I was born on the cob.
