One of the great shortcomings of the U.S. education system is how it avoids mention of the Haitian Revolution and its impact on U.S. and global history. The Haitian Revolution is the culmination of ideas and movements begun by the American and French Revolutions:

“Sanctus et respiciendo faeces ipsius aquam” means “holy water and poop”(literally “sacred and respected poop and water”), though the case, number, and gender of the words are all over the place. Grammatically corrected, it should be “sanctae et respiciendae faeces ipsae aqua”.

Nadal won the French this year without losing a set. I looked up the stat that since the 1930s, sixteen Men’s Slams were won with no set lost with Nadal doing it three times and Fed twice (his first was in 2007 at Australia). It is a lot more common with women - ninety Women’s Slams had no sets lost and Serena has…

You wouldn’t have to hold your breath at all considering that I worked my way through community college and have been at this site for 5 years.

Ottawa over Nashville in the finals. But somehow Karlsson still doesn’t win the Norris because hockey writers are 100% without exception terrible at their profession as well as being terrible people.

The way i interpret it, it’s the thought process depicted. Going from favoring Russ on the basic level of the eye test, to thinking more about impact and other dynamics and favoring JH, then accounting for defensive impact and crediting kawhi, and finally, at the most complex level of analysis, realizing it’s still…

Westbrook is the current version of the 1941 Ted Williams. Williams hit .406 and led the league in HRs. Joe DiMaggio had that 56-game hitting streak, led the league in RBIs and played for a team that finished 17 games ahead of William’s Red Sox.

Shut up, Nutmeg!

You could assemble a Voltron team of inexcusable blown leads from the past year. The Golden State Watlanta Falconsaint-Germain.

I don’t think ACE= Catholic. According to wikipedia it stands for Accelerated Christian Education, and nothing in wiki article mentions Catholicism or jives with my own experience with a Catholic schooling. Apparently one of the key tenants is to teach that everything in the Bible is literally true which is not in…

“The coronation is over. The people of King’s Landing do not care about the Lannisters’ debts.”

In Soviet Russia Defense Hardens You.

Gary Sheffield may or may not be a HOFer (he probably is), but 13.3% is stupid-low.

To have deserved being in this position, I can only assume that Huma was Hitler, Pol Pot, Mrs. O’Leary’s cow, and Donald Trump in her past lives.

This story kicked me in the gut. My mother was an alcoholic, and I struggled with opiate addiction for years. Addiction isn’t a lifestyle you choose. Sobriety isn’t easy, nor is it a wagon to which you strap yourself. Functional addicts are the most at risk because, until they crash and burn, no one has any idea of…

Here’s a good background story:

Remember when these “best soccer players in the world” were taking to twitter to take enjoyment out of the men getting humiliated by Argentina in the Copa?

As a Canadian who is still bitter about what happens 4 years ago: AHAHAHAHAHHAHA.

Men’s Swimming Olympic Gold Medals since 1896:

I’ve been agonising over something that transpired yesterday, that is an interpersonal problem where bigotry or any kind of -ism doesn’t even play into it. Like, this is sleepless-night-my-friend-is-upset-with-me level shit.
