Two major reasons, that I can see:

If you’re reading this and you’re in church, put away your phone. If you’re reading this and you’re not in church, go outside and have a nice little walk or something. Get some fresh air, soak up a little sun, you know the drill.
:waving hands: Go! Shoo. Get your kids dressed and throw around a Frisbee, or something.
John 20, verses 11 to 18:
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
Always my favorite of the Gospel accounts.

Immigrant Song, Tomoyasu Hotei
This is apparently one of Led Zeppelin’s most covered songs.
This international one (for the Japanese market) apparently suggests that the filmmakers blew up Disneyland.

Or maybe that’s Paris. The EPCOT Dome sure ain’t never going to be the same, that’s for sure. I’m sorry, this shouldn’t fascinate me so. It’s just that I have no really good way to process this movie.
Seriously, what did Reuters expect was going to happen?
On April 1, the city of Tikrit was liberated from the extremist group Islamic State. The Shi’ite-led central government and allied militias, after a month-long battle, had expelled the barbarous Sunni radicals.
Then, some of the liberators took revenge.
Near the charred, bullet-scarred government headquarters, two federal policemen flanked a suspected Islamic State fighter. Urged on by a furious mob, the two officers took out knives and repeatedly stabbed the man in the neck and slit his throat. The killing was witnessed by two Reuters correspondents.

This is droll:
The critics are right in this regard – if climate change really were a religion, it would be a wretched one, offering guilt, blame and fear but with no recourse to salvation or forgiveness.
…judging from the behavior of its most open adherents? Climate change is a religion, and this description of it is spot-on. Also: simply calling something scientific does not actually make it so. This is apparently a lesson that the Left has to learn every generation: I wonder what the next generation of them will pick, to replace global warming? – Assuming that they don’t simply embrace eugenics or technocracy again. Or, worse, Marxism.
H/T Hot Air Headlines.
To wit: the general consensus on this seems to be that, essentially, the US Supreme Court is going to at some point heat-treat the back of the US Constitution to expose the Gay marriage is Constitutional clause that the Founders wrote in invisible ink, lo these many years ago. Let us be clear: the Founders did not. The Founders, in fact, would have written Gay marriage is not Constitutional if any of them had had any notion that such a thing needed to be spelled out*. That I can state that while still simultaneously supporting gay marriage is not a contradiction: after all, something doesn’t have to be enshrined in the Constitution first before it can officially be seen as being, one the whole, as a reasonably good idea.

This is unintentionally hilarious.
Now, after two decades in the public eye, Mrs. Clinton must try to show voters a self-effacing, warm and funny side that her friends say reflects who she really is.
At least, I assume that Amy Chozick of the NYT didn’t break down in uncontrollable laughter after reading what she had just written. I am doing her the professional courtesy of not assuming that she’s not really this deluded, you see. The reality of it is, you cannot simultaneously hide from the public – which is what Hillary Clinton is doing right now – and portray yourself as being warm and inviting. The two states are, as they say, contradictory. Continue reading Quote of the Day, …Hillary Clinton Should Start By Getting Out More, Then edition.
I wish that, when encountering a riot, disturbance, crime, and/or other problem in public… people would stop filming the damned thing, and instead do something to stop it. If you see three people whaling on a fourth, get some people and stop the fight. If you see somebody smashing a window, get some people and yell at them until they go away. To quote a webcomic artist whose name escapes me right now: we are trying to have a civilization, here.
And if you simply must film the incident, get a good close-up of the perpetrators’ face so that the cops can find them, later.
