I hope your winter beater is up to the task today.
I’ve been wanting a Nissan Pao ever since I learned that they exist, and for many years the idea of owning one just…
WHO SAVED WHO?
Sometime in the winter of 2010, my dad sat my younger brother and me down for a talk.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he passes on turkey pardoning. I also wouldn’t be surprised if he signed death warrants for any still-living turkeys pardoned by Obama. My capability for surprise has waned almost completely.
Can we just move on from this and get to more pressing matters? Such as, what will Trump do if the family members of the turkey he pardons this week don’t pay him enough respect afterwards?
Before he was installed by the electoral college as Supreme Grand Primate Of THE GREAT UNRAVELING, Donald Trump was…

Great read. Pretty tough story.
Fucking scoreboard?
As an alumna of UNH (and a librarian) what really irks me about this is that they didn’t even spend it on the most popular sport. The men’s ice hockey team is far and away more important on campus and to the student body and alumni. Its been said down thread-but if you want the money to go to something you care about,…
The internet abounds in cheerful content, and last fall one of its most cheerful stories started like this: In a…
It’s like if you took a Nuremberg rally and made it wear cargo shorts.
Newton is only 28, but his body has been through six years of a particularly punishing style of quarterback play, and every hit he takes makes it harder to imagine him dominating into his mid-30s.
