Yay, it's the weekend! If you're looking for a movie to watch, may I suggest VidAngel? I blogged about it the other day. I'm planning on watching Zero Dark Thirty tonight, without the profanity, since profanity really bothers me. Can't wait.

The rise of Donald Trump is a terrifying moment in US politics.
The looting of Syria's archaeological treasures. The before/after photos (some with sliders) made me gasp out loud.
The death of the most generous nation on earth - about Sweden and how it has dealt with the huge influx of refugees. This is one of the most interesting articles I have ever read. I can't stop thinking about it. It is long for an article, but as far as thinkpieces go, it's better than many actual books I have read.
