It's funny too, this place -- this thread even -- used to be a good place to come to for a quick roundup of the days news.

Now, a lot of news goes unnoticed.

The Dow is back over 25,000, but you wouldn't know that from coming here. Sure, we get updates when it goes down, but you'd think it was below 24,000 if you only got your news from here.

North Korea? Trump's summit was a total failure, except for the steps NK is taking:

North Korea has started dismantling a missile-engine test site, as President Trump said the North’s leader, Kim Jong-un, promised he would during their historic summit meeting in Singapore in June, according to an analysis of satellite imagery of the location.

The North Koreans have started taking apart the engine test stand at the Sohae Satellite Launching Station, said Joseph S. Bermudez Jr., an expert on North Korea’s weapons programs, in a report published on Monday on the website 38 North. The dismantling work probably began sometime within the last two weeks, he said.

North Korea has also started dismantling a rail-mounted building at the Sohae station where workers used to assemble space launch vehicles before moving them to the launchpad, Mr. Bermudez said.

Mr. Bermudez compared satellite photos of the Sohae facilities taken on Friday and Sunday to conclude that North Korea had begun taking “an important first step toward fulfilling a commitment made by Kim Jong-un.”

We also usually hear all about mass shootings -- that is unless a Jihadi shoots up Toronto, and then no one wants to talk about it.

Sure. It's a good bet Trumpists would have posted this, for example.

Conservative hero Alex Jones, whose reputation Trump calls "amazing," keeps trying to reach new lows.

Good. It makes complete sense.

I have no idea why you would leave it out.

What we need to do next, is apportion congressional districts based on citizens, not residents.

More than 18 months into his presidency, Trump still has not nominated anyone to fill these vacant ambassadorial positions: ASEAN, Australia, CAE, Cuba, Egypt, Ireland, Jordan, Libya, Mexico, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudia Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden and Turkey. This is just a partial list of vacancies.

Guess what?

Canada doesn't have ambassadors to Angola, Brazil, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Belize, Indonesia, Morocco, Peru, Bolivia and Singapore.

And the world keeps turning.

The Dow does what it does. 24k to 25k, shrug. From one to the other is a 4% swing.

The Norks - I'll believe it when it actually happens. I remember when they "dismantled their test site", and all of the other various things that they were supposed to do before that. The Canada shooting is unfortunate. I feel for those people, but there have been so many mass shootings that unless it is a particularly heinous example it's just another one.

There is an awful lot of news that comes through here that you don't "notice", either.

This past week, I was really surprised by HRC’s fashion choice. I can’t explain it, unless she’s really reached that “don’t give a shit” phase of life.

Rudy Giuliani: It's somehow exculpatory, because Trump said to pay by check.
Trump on the actual tape: Pay with cash. Followed by Cohen, "No, no, no, no, no."

Doesn't matter. As long as he's the candidate of white supremacy, he's got no problems.
