It wasn't about the military; it was about the border wall. Georgia campuses now have campus-carry of firearms, but it didn't do one student any gun. Thieves stole his wallet...and his gun. HBO's Season 7 of "Game of Thrones" is setting streaming records, again. The 3rd part of my 4 part interview with my friend, Sam Lewis. Remember the Million Dollar Homepage? It still works...sort of. Snopes needs money so they're crowd funding - and fighting off an overzealous partner. Richard Dawkins was invited and then dis-invited to a live discussion at a radio station while the PC police say we can't name our beer or our breweries certain names. And...did you know what a "Bro-Job" was? I didn't. I found out. Hey, I did research - get your mind out of the gutter! :)

- It's Just a Bro-Job. No Homo. | HuffPost — Part of the reason for this debate is the narrow box that American society and culture places on men and how they have sex. Any deviation from what is perceived as normal is what people tend to use as a means for judging a man’s sexual identity. This, however, hasn’t always been the case. It has been widely documented that ancient civilizations such as the Greeks and Romans were no strangers to male-on-male sex. Not only were gay relationships common, but so was sex between two straight men. Often times sex between men would be used as a way to gain political power, advance in society, or as a means to develop stronger bonds among warriors.
