Josh Marshall: That One's Settled (TPM)
This is of a piece with all their public statements on the Trump Russia probe: not just reflexive of President Trump but consistent attacks on judicial independence and the most basic elements of the rule of law. Partisanship compromises everyone to some degree. But they've been the most consistent force backing all the President's moves that push in the direction of authoritarian government. In the event, this right - which is the only meaningful American right today - is consistently authoritarian and hostile to any checks on a rightwing President. It's that simple. It's not even really hypocrisy. It's showing the true nature of what it is, which is authoritarian and anti-democratic.
Sara Barnes: Photos Follow 12 Couples for 30 Years to Highlight How Life Changes Them (My Modern Met)
One of photography's most compelling aspects is that it catalogs the passing of time. This characteristic is ingeniously depicted in Barbara Davatz's series As Time Goes By, which began in 1982 and has continued over 30 years into 2014. The ambitious project started simply, with single photographs of 12 couples, and in subsequent years-1988, 1997, and 2014-included additional snapshots of their lives at that time. Each is a fascinating display of how much people change throughout the decades.
Zeon Santos: Andy Warhol And Nico As Batman And Robin (Neatorama)
Andy Warhol and Nico were cool, they were eccentric and underground and enjoyed wearing costumes on occasion, all of which made them the perfect characters to play Batman and Robin in a photo shoot for Esquire.
Mr. Clean is a brand name and mascot fully owned by Procter & Gamble, used as an all-purpose cleaner and melamine foam cleaner.
Mr. Clean was created by Linwood Burton, a marine ship cleaning businessman with accounts throughout the east coast of the United States and his friend, Mathusan Chandramohan, a rich entrepreneur from Sri Lanka. In the past, ships had to be cleaned using abrasives or solvents that were able to cut successfully through embedded grease and grime; however, past solvents were so dangerous to workers that Burton was motivated to finding a solution that was effective and less caustic. Burton, with fundamental knowledge in chemistry, developed Mr. Clean in an effort to clean ships without having to pay significant premiums in disability claims for his workers. He later sold the product to Procter & Gamble in 1958.
Mr. Clean made his television commercial debut in 1958, initially portrayed in the live-action versions by character actor House Peters Jr. Within the first six months of the introduction, Mr. Clean became the best-selling household cleaner on the market.
The name "Clean" is usually translated into local languages:
Don Limpio, in Spain (originally launched and sold for years as 'Mister Proper')
Maestro Limpio, in Mexico and Puerto Rico
Meister Proper, in Germany (originally; labeled for a short time as Mr. Proper)

In a memo sent Monday to all employees, Macmillan CEO John Sargent said that the company will not be intimidated by President Trump's attempts to shut down the publication of Michael Wolff's controversial book about his first year in office. The president last week sent a cease-and-desist demand to Macmillan, parent company of Fire and Fury publisher Henry Holt. "Our response is firm, as it has to be," Sargent wrote in his memo. "The president is free to call news 'fake' and to blast the media. That goes against convention, but it is not unconstitutional. But a demand to cease and desist publication-a clear effort by the President of the United States to intimidate a publisher into halting publication of an important book on the workings of the government-is an attempt to achieve what is called prior restraint. That is something that no American court would order as it is flagrantly unconstitutional." Citing several Supreme Court justices' opinions on free-speech matters, Sargent concluded: "There is no ambiguity here. This is an underlying principle of our democracy. We cannot stand silent. We will not allow any president to achieve by intimidation what our Constitution precludes him or her from achieving in court."
Neo-Nazi Miler
Stephen Miller is such a nutjob!

So far so good on beating cancer for now. I'm doing fine. At the end of the month I'll be 16 months into an 8 month mean lifespan. And yesterday I went on a 7 mile hike and managed to keep up with the hiking group I was with. So, doing something right.
Still waiting for future test results and should see things headed in the right direction. I can say that it's not likely that anything dire happens in the short term so that means that I should have time to make several more attempts at this. So even if it doesn't work the first time there are a lot of variations to try. So if there's bad news it will help me pick the next radiation target.
I have written a "how to" guide for oncologists to perform the treatment that I got. I'm convinced that I'm definitely onto something and whether it works for me or not isn't the definitive test. I know if other people tried this that it would work for some of them, and if they improve it that it will work for a lot of them.
The guide is quite detailed and any doctor reading this can understand the procedure at every level. I also go into detail as to how it works, how I figured it out, and variations and improvements that could be tried to enhance it. I also introduce new ways to look at the problem. There is a lot of room for improvement and I think that doctors reading it will see what I'm talking about and want to build on it. And it's written so that if you're not a doctor you can still follow it. It also has a personal story revealing that I'm the class clown of cancer support group. I give great interviews and I look pretty hot in a lab coat.
So, feel free to read this and see what I'm talking about. But if any of you want to help then pass this around to both doctors and cancer patients. I need some media coverage. I'm looking for as many eyeballs as possible to read these ideas. Even if this isn't the solution, it's definitely on the right track. After all, I did hike 7 miles yesterday. And this hiking group wasn't moving slow. So if this isn't working then, why am I still here?
I also see curing cancer as more of an engineering problem that a medical problem. So if you are good at solving problems and most of what you know about medicine was watching the Dr. House MD TV show, then you're at the level I was at when I started. So anyone can jump in and be part of the solution.

BBC journalist Carrie Gracie announced Monday she had quit her post as China editor in protest at an "indefensible pay gap" at the British broadcaster, winning support from dozens of colleagues.
Gracie said she resigned last week over a "crisis of trust" which has engulfed the BBC since the broadcaster was forced last year to reveal the salaries of its highest-paid employees.
The disclosures showed "an indefensible pay gap between men and women doing equal work," Gracie said in a blog post announcing her resignation.
"These revelations damaged the trust of BBC staff," she added, stating that up to 200 women employed by the broadcaster had made complaints over pay discrimination in recent months.
Gracie warned that a "bunker mentality" by managers so far "is likely to end in a disastrous legal defeat for the BBC and an exodus of female talent at every level".
Singer Lana Del Rey said Sunday that English rockers Radiohead have sued for writing credit on one of her songs, seeing uncanny similarities to their breakthrough track "Creep."
The 32-year-old Los Angeles-based singer, like Radiohead known for the frequent darkness of her music, insisted she had not been inspired by "Creep."
The dispute centers on "Get Free," the closing track on her last album "Lust for Life," which opens with seemingly identical guitar chords to "Creep" at a similar, steady-churning tempo.
Del Rey confirmed a lawsuit after it was reported by British tabloid The Sun, saying that she had offered a compromise but that Radiohead wanted full credit.
"Creep" was Radiohead's debut single, propelling the Oxford-based band to stardom. The rockers have since moved in a more experimental direction and only play "Creep" sparingly in concert.
One of Prague's major tourist attractions, its medieval astronomical clock, was stopped Monday and is to be taken away for months for major repairs.
The clock last performed its hourly show of the 12 apostles and other figures for crowds of visitors to the Czech capital on Monday at 9 a.m.
Prague officials say the clock that was installed on the City Hall's tower in 1410 will be completely disassembled and its parts taken for restoration, the first complex fix since World War II.
The entire City Hall with the clock were badly damaged in the war and the some of the postwar restoration works were not done properly and need to be fixed.
There are a number of legends linked to the clock. One of them says the entire nation will suffer when it stops running. Record flooding hit Prague and large parts of the Czech Republic in 2002, causing the clock to stop.
A judge has dismissed conspiracy charges against rancher Cliven Bundy and his sons, marking an extraordinary failure by US prosecutors and a decisive victory for the Nevada family who ignited a land rights movement in the American west.
The Bundys, who led armed standoffs against the government in Nevada and Oregon, galvanizing far-right militia groups, saw all charges dismissed in Las Vegas on Monday. It was the second major court win for the ranchers in their decades-long battle to oppose federal land regulations.
Cliven Bundy, 71, and his sons Ammon and Ryan were accusedof assault, threats against the government, firearms offenses and obstruction, stemming from the family's refusal to pay grazing fees for their cattle in Nevada, which escalated into an armed conflict at their ranch in 2014. The judge declared a mistrial in December and ruled on Monday that prosecutors could not retry the case, arguing that the US attorney's office had willfully withheld evidence and engaged in misconduct.
The stunning defeat for the government - which has also been accused of lying and deceptive tactics in their prosecution of the Bundys - outraged environmental groups that have advocated the punishment of ranchers who defy land-use laws and have supported tighter regulations to protect public lands.
The Bundys first made international headlines in 2014 when the government attempted to seize their cattle, but retreated in the face of hundreds of supporters at the family ranch in Bunkerville, some heavily armed. Emboldened by the victory, Ammon and Ryan helped lead a takeover of the Malheur national wildlife refuge in eastern Oregon in January 2016 to protest against the imprisonment of two local ranchers.
Donald Trump (R-Crooked) oddly pointed to the media's coverage of Ronald Reagan as the president scrambled to bolster his image as mentally fit, characterizing himself as a "very stable genius and "being, like, really smart."
Trump attacked the media in a tweet Saturday for "taking out the old Ronald Reagan playbook and screaming mental stability and intelligence." The implication is that concerns about Reagan's mental health in his administration were off the mark. But they weren't.
Although White House doctors insisted Reagan was mentally fit, many observers at the time were concerned about his forgetfulness, and some even wondered if he was exhibiting signs of Alzheimer's in office. Reagan himself even admitted during a televised address on the Iran-Contra scandal that he often had a hard time remembering things, notes The Washington Post. Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 1994, five years after he left the White House.
Reagan's youngest (sic) son, Ron, said in his 2011 book, My Father at 100, that he believed his dad showed symptoms of the confusion and forgetfulness of Alzheimer's while he was president.
Worries about Trump's mental stability have been sparked anew by Michael Wolf's book, Fire and Fury. Wolff wrote that during a trip to Mar-a-Lago, Trump failed to recognize old friends, according to an excerpt in the Hollywood Reporter. The staff was also "painfully aware" that Trump repeated the same stories over and over, sometimes in 10-minute intervals, according to the book.
The head of the CIA on Sunday denied his agency had any role in fomenting the recent anti-government protests in Iran but predicted the violent unrest "is not behind us."
Mike Pompeo, named a year ago by President-for-now Donald Trump (R-Corrupt) to head the intelligence agency, told Fox News Sunday that economic conditions in Iran "are not good."
"That's what caused the people to take to the streets," he said. He blamed what he called Tehran's "backward-looking" regime for turning a deaf ear to the voices of the people.
Asked about a claim by Iran's prosecutor general, Mohammad Javad Montazeri, that a CIA official had coordinated with Israel and Saudi Arabia -- Iran's regional rivals -- to work with exiled Iranian groups to stir dissent in Iran, Pompeo replied simply: "It's false."
The vast majority of green sea turtles in the northern Great Barrier Reef are now female because of warmer temperatures due to climate change, which influences their sex during incubation, researchers said Monday.
The population of about 200,000 nesting females in the area along the east coast of Queensland, Australia, is one of the largest in the world, and could crash without more males, according to the report in the journal Current Biology.
The temperature at which eggs incubate determines the sex of the eggs. Warmer nests, which are dug into beaches, mean more females. Just a few degrees can mean the difference between a balanced and skewed sex ratio.
"With average global temperature predicted to increase 4.7 Fahrenheit (2.6 Celsius) by 2100, many sea turtle populations are in danger of high egg mortality and female-only offspring production," said the report.
Magic mushrooms could hold the key to alleviating symptoms of depression, particularly in those who have not benefited from more traditional treatments, new research finds.
Scientists from Imperial College London, UK, observed significant improvements in emotional responsiveness in a small group of patients with moderate to severe depression following two drug-enabled therapy sessions. The results were published in the journal Neuropharmacology last month.
It all comes down to a substance called psilocybin. This is the principal psychedelic component in shrooms, responsible for their mind-bending, mood-altering properties.
During the study, 20 patients were given two therapy sessions one week apart, both involving psilocybin. The scientists took MRI scans of the volunteers before and after treatment to monitor the drug's effect on the amygdala, which is an almond-shaped area of the brain that helps us process emotional responses, stress, and fear. As they were being taken, patients were shown images of faces displaying one of three emotions - neutral, fear, and happiness.
This study builds on an earlier experiment, which found that psilocybin can reduce blood flow in the amygdala, as well as symptoms of depression. At the time, researchers explained that the drug had produced an "after-glow" that effectively "reset" the brains of patients with depression.
