I find it completely unacceptable that Chuck Norris has yet to be featured in a Fortnite Icon Series. At the same time, when my 11 year old asks for VBucks - it is nice to be able to say, "Only if you need it to buy a Chuck Norris skin."

While you are being flooded by news stories about EPA's Clean Energy Rule to replace the never-enforced Obama-era Clean Power Plan and save coal, it might be worth having a little bit of context. Here is U.S. electricity by fuel source since 1948:

Law students! If you're a professor's RA this summer, I want to share a quick note about how your relationship will differ from your student-professor relationship.
