  1. It's bloody stupid. I'd always just associated Metropolis with Chicago and Gotham with NYC.
  2. I'm utterly astounded that Gotham and Metropolis are essentially separated by a bay.
  3. Former police officer convicted of murder for shooting unarmed black teen A former police officer was found guilty of murder Tuesday for the April 2017 shooting death of an African American teenager and could face up to life in prison. Roy Oliver, who is white, had testified he was defending his partner when he shot into a car leaving a house party in the Dallas suburb of Balch Springs. Fifteen-year-old Jordan Edwards, a freshman honor roll student who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was killed instantly.
  4. Five Arizona police cleared in viral beating of unarmed man Five Arizona police officers who were shown on camera pummelling an unarmed man last May will not face any charges, authorities have announced. The beating of the 33-year-old man by Mesa Police Department officers was legally justified, investigators from another police force determined.

  5. As a result of Maria, researchers estimate 22 percent more people died during those six months than would have had the hurricane not struck. They also said those most at risk for death were poor people and the elderly.
  6. Shares of Alphabet fell 0.3 percent to $1,252.98. Yep, the market really cares alright.
  7. The world was waiting for her to speak. But the day after a damning United Nations report concluded that genocide had occurred in Myanmar under her watch, Aung San Suu Kyi used a public appearance to discuss only poetry and literature.
  8. Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said 36,000 tanks, armoured personnel carriers and armoured infantry vehicles would take part in Vostok-2018, from 11 to 15 September, along with more than 1,000 aircraft. "Vostok" is Russian for "east". All of Russia's airborne units and two of its naval fleets will also take part in the drills across Siberia and the Russian Far East.
  9. She had 52 views which I'm convinced was all you guys and 1 subscription @johnny
  10. Washington Post Op-Ed: John McCain Will Haunt Donald Trump Into Defeat From The Mirror Dimension (Deadspin analysis)
  11. One of the reasons why the Fed is rasing interest rates is to provide some monetary space to respond to a recession.
  12. GOP Sen. James Inhofe (Okla.) on Monday said the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is "partially to blame" for the controversy over President Trump's raising and then re-lowering American flags to mark McCain's death.
  13. She: "Fasting is probably the only thing that Jesus, Muhammad, and Buddha agreed on." Me: "That's really not a particularly convincing argument for me."
  14. Why I Left Riot Games by Barry Hawkins The sexual references by straight men directly towards other straight men were a more complicated issue. It would often be homosexual in nature, but could also be sexually aggressive toward your significant other. You might be talking to a leader about conflict with a peer, and they’d respond with “man, you’re acting like he had sex with your wife.” Or they might start a paragraph by saying “Now for instance, if I fucked your wife…” and then segue into what they were actually supposed to be saying. The homosexual variants would be things like “well if he sucked your dick, would you feel better about this?” or “it’s not like I’m asking you to suck my dick, but I’d be OK with it if you did.”
  15. Seth Frotman, who served as Student Loan Ombudsman at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) for three years, is due to leave by Friday. His resignation letter reportedly said the CFPB "silenced warnings" and favoured companies over students.
