With so many false news floating around (especially on Facebook), take a minute to take NPR’s A finder’s guide to facts to heart. Maybe it’ll help to stay on top of the actual facts.
Some food for thought. On rural America: understanding isn’t the problem.
A country that calls itself the “best country in the world” shouldn’t have a huge portion of their people fail the bad-break test.
My president was black. Great (long, but worthwhile!) piece in The Atlantic.

After all these years, I still don’t have tipping quite figured out, do you? The uncomfortable truth about tipping, explained with stick figures.
50+ of best images of the year announced by National Geographic. Amazing!
The United States are not an apocalyptic wasteland. Steven Pinker is great, I value his opinion.

December 19, 2016 at 10:14 amI really enjoyed that tipping article. I still have no idea how to tip. I mean, I get the basics in restaurants, but I am always so confused in other situations. Not to mention, I lean towards the school of thought that these folks should just make a living wage & that I shouldn’t be in charge of their income. I would rather pay more for my meal & not have to tip at all.
It’s hard too, I grew up being told tipping was done based on the level or service performed. So, I would say my parents end up as average tippers, but saw them reward great service with tips above & beyond, as well as speaking to a manager, and also saw poor service represented with low tips & speaking to a manager.
And all of this makes international travel confusing! I always have to look up the tipping policy // culture before I go!
