Remy had a history of depression and alcoholism. Recently he turned to hard drugs to escape the world he helped to create. The last time we spoke, he had been awake for 11 days and was worried the pigeons were watching him. His story is sad but not uncommon for rats who find a way to rise to fame.

Trump is harming the dream of America more than any foreign adversary ever could
Joe Scarborough
September 10 at 6:42 PM
Cataclysmic events often bring with them violent and abrupt endings to settled ages and long-established norms. Those absorbing the impact of these historical aftershocks rarely grasp the epochal changes in real time.
Who could have imagined during their commute home on the night of Nov. 21, 1963, that an event in Dallas the next day would shake the postwar order guaranteed by America’s victory in World War II? Even after Lee Harvey Oswald’s shots rang out from the Texas School Book Depository, could anyone have foreseen the collapse of such an ordered age soon overtaken by the anarchy of Vietnam, the murders of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy, the race riots, Chicago, Kent State, Watergate, postindustrial rot and the cultural chaos set loose across the country by these events?
And could even the most insightful observer have foreseen — while staring at the billowing smoke set against New York’s brilliant September sky — the avalanche of strategic blunders set in motion by Osama bin Laden’s attack on the United States?
Of course not. But two wars, three presidents and 17 years later, the tragic lessons of that time are still lost on our leaders.
On Sept. 10, 2001, the United States dominated the world stage in a way no other country had since the height of the Roman and British empires. NATO’s long twilight struggle against the Soviet Union ended with Russia in ruins. The Japanese economic miracle, predicted by some to turn America into little more than a granary for Japan, had flatlined. And a rising China was still struggling with a multitude of internal security concerns and was eclipsed on the world stage by the Pax Americana. The United States deployed a dazzling display of both soft- and hard-power assets across the globe.
On the eve of bin Laden’s attacks, America’s gross domestic product was nearly 10 times China’s and 40 times Russia’s. The U.S. military machine was unparalleled, with the Pentagon spending more on national defense than the next 15 countries combined. And despite those staggering outlays, Washington was running a $125 billion surplus.
Seventeen years later, endless wars abroad and reckless policies at home have produced annual deficits approaching $1 trillion. President Trump’s Republican Party will create more debt in one year than was generated in the first 200 years of America’s existence. And while the United States has been mired in endless wars and bloody occupations over the past 17 years, China has used that same period to aggressively develop economic partnerships across Asia, Europe, Latin America and Africa. Perhaps that is one reason China will soon overtake the United States as the world’s largest economy.
Any discussion of policy failures since 2001 must begin with George W. Bush’s decision to invade Iraq even though no evidence linked Saddam Hussein’s regime to the Sept. 11 attacks. Even a majority of Senate Democrats voted for a resolution supporting the Iraq invasion, and more than 70 percent of Americans agreed. But we were wrong. That war cost nearly 5,000 American lives, $2 trillion and inestimable damage to America’s credibility across the globe.
The excesses of Bush’s military adventurism led to his successor, President Barack Obama, placing the United States in a defensive crouch for the better part of eight years. The commander in chief defined his foreign policy approach this way: “Don’t do stupid [stuff].” Even Democratic foreign policy experts would quietly complain that their president’s strategic retreat from the world would come at great cost. The ignoring of crossed red lines, the rise of the Islamic State and the deaths of 500,000Syrians proved Obama’s Democratic critics right.
Sixteen years of strategic missteps have been followed by the maniacal moves of a man who has savaged America’s vital alliances, provided comfort to hostile foreign powers, attacked our intelligence and military communities, and lent a sympathetic ear to neo-Nazis and white supremacists across the globe.
For those of us still believing that Islamic extremists hate America because of the freedoms we guarantee to all people, the gravest threat Trump poses to our national security is the damage done daily to America’s image. As the New York Times’ Roger Cohen wrote the month after Trump’s election, “America is an idea. Strip freedom, human rights, democracy and the rule of law from what the United States represents to the world and America itself is gutted.”
Osama bin Laden was killed by SEAL Team 6 before he accomplished that goal. Other tyrants who tried to do the same were consigned to the ash heap of history. The question for voters this fall is whether their country will move beyond this troubled chapter in history or whether they will continue supporting a politician who has done more damage to the dream of America than any foreign adversary ever could.

TL;DR: Janitor fills a closet with items like clothes, toiletries, and food for needy students at the school she works at. That particular school has a lot of homeless and otherwise troubled kids and they say she's been a great help, many returning after graduating just to thank her.

A Southland farm's "Kiwi as" animal transporter has warmed the hearts of New Zealanders after an image of the "Lambulance" was posted online.
Farmer Bradley Stewart, of Wrey's Bush, near Winton, came up with the crafty idea to turn one of his vehicles in an ambulance for animals a couple of years ago as a way to transport animals around the paddock.
Anna McFarlane, who works on the farm, told the New Zealand Herald the idea was a fun way to transport any animals in need of extra care and allows the farmers to give the lambs the best care possible.
"If a mother can't feed all her lambs we use the Lambulance to pick up the ones that miss out and take them home and feed them ourselves.
"If the mother doesn't want to or the lambs are sick we pop then in the wee boxes and take them home so we can provide extra care before transporting them back to the paddocks."
Currently, the farm at Wrey's Bush has 40 pet lambs, with many taking a shine to the Lambulance.
McFarlane says the lambs are happy to be picked up in the Lambulance and they often travel in pairs.
"The lambs love it. You put them in there and they warm up in the wee box. Sometimes a few will travel in the Lambulance and they enjoy the warmth being together. We have straw in there to keep them happy."

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read. Why should we care about what a GOT actor thinks about Marvel movies? Secondly, actors should be hired on basis of their skill and if they fit the role, not who they like to fuck. Third, there's plenty of LGBT actors in various Marvel films.
"Game of Thrones" star Kit Harington addressed queer representation in Hollywood during his visit to the Variety Studio presented by AT&T at the Toronto Film Festival.
"There's a big problem with masculinity and homosexuality that they can't somehow go hand in hand," Harington said. "That we can't have someone in a Marvel movie who's gay in real life and plays some superhero. I mean, when is that going to happen?"
Harington was joined by his "The Death and Life of John F. Donovan" co-stars Emily Hampshire and Thandie Newton and director Xavier Dolan. Newton turned to the sports world as an example of the positive changes that are taking place, especially as more and more athletes continue to come out.
"It is changing, but we have to get behind those changes and keep pushing it," Newton said.
Dolan also spoke about queer representation, specifically how social media has helped actors and actresses come out. That's something that wasn't mainstream when he first began writing "The Death and Life of John F. Donovan," he pointed out. However, he added, that doesn't mean Hollywood has changed in how it accepts them.
Although these actors are able to fully embrace their identity, Dolan said they might not be able to pursue the same opportunities they would have if they hadn't come out. There's still work that needs to be done, he said.

Ian McKellan is as camp as a row of tents, and he played Magneto, a morally grey mutant with superpowers in the film that kicked off superhero films as a serious thing, then there's Hugh Jackman, who's either closeted or really really camp.
