The actual news value of this tweet (well, at least to me) was that there is actually a @FoxNewsResearch! It has fewer than 45K followers. #factfree @FoxNews has 17 million, give or take a few #Bots here and there! nitter.gq/FoxNewsResearch/status…

Charles, a Koch brother in Wichita, said he was pleasantly surprised that his pay went up $26,923,076 a week... he said [that] will more than cover the cost of buying several more Paul Ryans.

Trump is planning his "Fake News Awards" event -- rewarding media that suck up to him (Fox News) and condemning most of the rest for their honest reporting. Any government employee who helps him with this absurdity is breaking the law. nitter.gq/NormEisen/status/95012…

Amazing drone video of Humpbacks & Orcas, two species that are normally enemies, hunting a school of Herring together. The massive dark cloud of fish has been herded into shallow water where they can both feed from it. Such behavior has never been documented before until recently

On this date in 1880, snow began falling in Seattle and would continue for much of the next week. When it was over, more than 5 feet of snow was recorded. This was the view looking east on Cherry St. on Jan. 10th, 1880. MOHAI photo collection image #1983.10.6267 #wawx

For climate change deniers getting very excited that it's cold outside at the end of December, here's the ratio of hot extremes to cold extremes in the U.S. over the past 365 days. It exceeds 3 to 1.
