With summer fully here, we thought it time we revisit some of those camps. What makes a summer-camp movie great has less to do with the experience of applying bug spray and learning to swim in the lake, and more to do with celebrating childhood, rebellion, groups of scrappy outsiders pitted against the more popular, and like-minded people banding together to make something impossible and wonderful happen.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s one of the most amazing games ever in terms of visuals and even more so because apparently the developer taught themselves how to do the weird old timey animation from scratch.

America is in denial, Mitt Romney writes. The origin of vibes A crisis historian has some bad news for us. Losing Faith We do not yet know why a shooter opened fire on a crowd in Illinois yesterday. Given what we know about the suspected killer, I think it is unlikely that the massacre in Highland Park was part of an organized terror plot, but rather yet another case of a young male loser attacking his own community. Nonetheless, the effect of these mass shootings is the same as … [Read more...] about A Nation of Hostages
