Stackable Mixing Bowls for the Millennial Set

These lightweight bowls are made from bamboo and come in a subdued palette of colors.

I have memories of melamine. 
I want to know the binder used.

The rights to “Dumb and Dumber To,” a Picasso painting, a diamond and real estate are among the assets being sought from a Malaysian investment fund.

"Two wrongs do not make a right."

There are many things that could be forfeit all over the world.  Take the problem to the Hague.

It is your money.

Carrie Fisher Tested Positive for Drugs Before Her Death, Coroner Says

Ms. Fisher tested positive for cocaine and other drugs when she was admitted to the hospital four days before her death, a toxicology report said.

I am sorry she was an addict.
I would have liked to see more of her work.

Megyn Kelly Interview With Alex Jones Draws 3.5 Million Viewers

The audience was the lowest of Ms. Kelly’s three-week run on NBC with a newsmagazine show going up against “60 Minutes.”

Megyn Kelly is not trusted.
She will have to build an audience.

The Upshot

This List of Well-Educated Districts Explains Why the Georgia Election Is Close

Education is the reason Tuesday’s closely watched election, in a reliably Republican congressional district, is competitive at all.

Interesting.   
I do not want to live in Georgia or Rochester N.Y.

The police said they were not investigating the murder as a hate crime because there was no indication it was based on the girl’s race or religion.

It reads like a hate crime.

From Opioid Epidemic’s Front Lines, Filling In the Brutal Back Story

Frank Whitelaw, a county coroner in the Adirondacks in New York, gave a powerful presentation to high school students at his alma mater last year.

"Mr. Whitelaw wrote an opinion piece in April offering his services to other schools. He has not been asked to appear at another high school."

We cannot keep people from caring.
We cannot keep people from loving.
We cannot keep people in sealed boxes.

People will do other people harm
for money.

We can take some of the money away.

It would be better if chemical pleasures did not kill.
