Had he been bald.
How Big Tobacco invented Donald Trump and Brexit.
"Economist Tim Harford traces the history of denialism and "fake news" back to Big Tobacco's cancer denial playbook, which invented the tactics used by both the Brexit and Trump campaigns to ride to victory -- a playbook that dismisses individual harms as "anecdotal" and wide-ranging evidence as "statistical," and works in concert with peoples' biases (smokers don't want cigarettes to cause cancer, Brexiteers want the UK to be viable without the EU, Trump supporters want simple, cruel policies to punish others and help them) to make empirically wrong things feel right."
You really need to read the whole article:

Remember when we, as a country, gave up all hope of privacy so we wouldn't be attacked again?
Well, that has come back to bite us in the ass...like we were asking for it.
But there is a ray of hope...

"Republicans in Congress passed a bill to repeal a set of Alaska’s wildlife regulations to favor a specific group of citizens: sport and trophy hunters. Republicans have allowed for shooting of hibernating bears with cubs; using airplanes to scout and shoot grizzly bears; and baiting and trapping bears with steel-jawed, leg-hold traps on federally owned land in Alaska."
RH: Who could take pride in hunting like that?

I, for one, would like to thank airline workers for keeping us safe from overweight women in yoga pants.

CNN had a section whereby they discussed companies that can't find enough employees who can pass a drug test. There solution is to hire emigrants. From what I could glean this drug test protocol is a huge problem. And don't blame the companies. They can't get insurance without it.

It's a proven fact that criminals commit fewer crime after they have been shot.

Woman uses her vitiligo as a template for body art.
I like it. I can just hear her husband: "I'd really like to come around your Cape of Good Hope tonight" or ..."Through your Straits of Gibraltar," or "How about I climb your Alps?"

Guy had his self-driving car drive into that overlook parking lot, then painted a no passing lines around it. It froze. They also don't handle the sun behind a stop light, parking garages, and several other common environments. Thus the need for a human override...no pun intended.
But there is more to the story. I found out where that happened because it looked familiar.
And that was on the route my wife and I took on a roadtrip and I remembered I put one of my dollar installations right there....
Pretty fucking cool if you ask me.

That's in three years. I don't believe it.

There is a website that answers this question...
