Life hits hard, and we all can find ourselves in need of help, amidst the chaos it throws our way. These grateful, humble people shared some of their experiences when the struggle was real, but the kindness and generosity of strangers pushed them through to the other side. You might even find yourself pleasantly encouraged for the potential in humanity to achieve some kindhearted good!
government
Bloomberg Writer Anna Massoglia (@annalecta) delivers facts on the influence of Big Pizza in Government. From campaign expenditures to lobbying dollars, these slices of info will fill you with existential dread, suspicion of your government, and...cheese?
Is this seriously what the U.S. government thinks is being passed around and puffed at the nearest, fine and highly enlightened hotbox session? If so, please allow me to bag up the nearest suitable mound of grass clippings, and light that shit up.
I'm not in the business of telling people how to do their jobs, but if you're an elected official and want to instill trust in your constituents, show up with a Captain America shield.
Lan Diep proudly wore a Captain America shield on his arm while taking the oath of office this week.
Dan Liep says there's "no metaphor."
“Except that it represents America’s ideals and I do hope to aspire to those ideals of fair play, equal justice, and democracy during my term,” Diep said. “But really, I just had this awesome shield and I wanted a chance to show it off.”
So wear that shield. Your constituents will either love you or think you don't take this job seriously at all. One or the other!

@mercnews @RamonaGiwargis I'm a fan of comics too but this seemed very inappropriate. Doesn't seem like he's taking the position seriously

Queensferry Crossing in Scotland is set to open in 2017, and will be the world's longest three-tower cable-stayed bridge. Except that the bridge shared in photo by UK government is not Queensferry Crossing.
