And another day of two peas in a pod, exaggerations, FBI probes, and FDA approvals comes to a close:

“Education is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It’s about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life.” -- Shakuntala Devi

Bolsonaro—a nationalist, Twitter-loving, "fake-news" decrying politician—chose to make the first bilateral trip of his presidency to Washington, where he has found an important friend and ally in President Trump. Two peas. Same pod.

Bullying McCain, Trump shows his fights don't stop at the graveyard's edge. “I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be.”

Trump exaggerated his net worth by over $2 billion to get loans from Deutsche Bank: report. Isn’t that some kind of felony or bank fraud or something that is illegal? You sure as hell wouldn’t be able to get away with doing such a thing.

Records show FBI was probing Michael Cohen long before raid.

Kellyanne Conway suggests people read the suspected New Zealand shooter’s manifesto, against expert advice. In the document, the killer calls himself a white nationalist and referred to Trump as "a symbol of renewed white identity."

By asking them to read the NZ shooter's manifesto "in its entirety," Conway suggests Fox News viewers expose themselves to 70 pages of white supremacist ideology.

Christchurch shooting: gun owners begin to hand in their weapons. Evidence of a civilized society.

The Trump administration is proposing new limits on student borrowing as part of a broader plan to curb the cost of college. The plan says Congress should put a cap on federal student loans to prevent borrowers from taking on unmanageable debt. Um, this will ensure only the rich get to go to college. It doesn’t actually address the crisis.

University of Denver will stop requiring prospective students to submit SAT or ACT test scores. Standardized testing is stupid.

Robert Kraft is offered pretrial deal that would drop solicitation charges against him in Florida.

Midwest voters in Trump country face historic floods and call for climate action. Then don’t vote Republican.

"I didn't expect to see nothing alive": Farmers hit hard by historic Midwest flooding.

Rescuers race to save marooned after killer Mozambique storm. Rescue workers in Mozambique were racing against time to pluck people off trees and rooftops Tuesday after a monster storm reaped a feared harvest of more than 1,000 lives before smashing into Zimbabwe.

FDA approves first drug for postpartum depression.

Daily Marijuana Use And Highly Potent Weed Linked To Psychosis.

Italian politician who opposed mandatory chickenpox vaccinations gets chickenpox. Yep.

Disney's acquisition of Fox officially closes Wednesday — and it will reshape two of Hollywood's major studios.

Social networking company Myspace has apologized for apparently losing 12 years' worth of music uploaded to its site, following a server migration error -- a loss potentially amounting to 50 million songs.

A young whale died of "dehydration and starvation" after consuming 88 pounds of plastic bags.

Ultima Thule is unlike anything we’ve seen in the solar system.

“If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought.” -- Isaac Newton

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
