Assortment

Red on red: anti-Chinese riots in Vietnam.

Love can blossom even in the most horrifying circumstances.

And, unfortunately, the most horrifying circumstances can sometimes attach themselves to love (it's getting increasingly difficult to see Islam as being anything other than a cloak for a host of insecurities and pathologies, including, notably, misogyny).

What if #hashtag diplomacy had existed in WWII?

Nigerian villagers take self-defense into their own hands, repelling Boko Haram forces, not with #hashtags, but with guns.

Is Joe Biden ignoring messages from his home planet?

Now that's an awesome hat.

Wow, who saw this coming? Texas authorities overwhelmed by a surge of illegal immigrants.

Has anybody seen a committee of vultures lately? (No, this isn't a political joke).

Why, yes, as a matter of fact, my Tigers are red hot right now (though I wish they'd find another way to keep up their team spirit).

I believe the committee of vultures meet in the Senate. You'd have to ask Harry Reid for the hours.

Yeah, the Cards are lukewarm right now.

But, at least they aren't causing eye pollution.
