“Charlie Chesbrough, senior economist for Cox Automotive, told AutoNews that he has a working hypothesis. Mainly, it costs more to buy a car these days, and it’s tough to borrow the money to do it. It’s pretty tough to sell to a market that doesn’t have the means to buy.”

I was born to a non-practicing, Jewish family. East coast, liberal, thinks education is a good thing; you know the type.

Every AirBNB from Rochester to the Berkshires is gonna be booked, and every guest will leave the place cleaner than they found it.

Whilst I totally tired of the game after a while (not a slight on it, just don’t like doing the same thing much too often) I feel like this a bit misses the point (or missed the point of what was fun for me).

In those Chicago days that pre-dated US Cellular, the Servais was spotty at best.

As a Bernie supporter that voted for him in the primaries in 2016:

A great collection of good doggos, 13/10 would kinja again

I really don’t get the “because open records” thing with Florida. I’ve lived in several states, and worked in media in those states. In each, we’d send a reporter to the courthouse every morning to pick up the previous day’s batch of criminal complaints. These are available to the public. You can go into your

Perfect metaphor for America right now. Nobody but a fucking asshole wants the president we have, and nobody but a fucking asshole wants to see this team in another Super Bowl. Just one more thing to endure.

Someone who leaves a saucer of milk out for the faeries in the garden but otherwise is kind to others and

I’m an atheist and have many, many criticisms of organized churches and their teachings on a broad level, but to pretend like they don’t do good in this world is insane. I work with the homeless in a very cold, very expensive city, and every year the number one group to give donations and cook meals is always the

I wasn’t aware that this passed for verifiable, peer-reviewed and repeatable evidence of anything apart from an axe to grind.

Honestly, I wasn’t aware that this kind of thing passed for anything resembling coherent, cogent rhetoric—but I’ve only been teaching academic rhetoric for fifteen years, so I clearly wouldn’t

One of the great scenes in The West Wing was when Toby (Jewish) was afraid to tell the president (Catholic) that he was having a child out of wedlock because he feared it would “offend the president’s religion”.

He’s basically what the movie “Rookie of the Year” would have been if the kid had been Ben Shapiro. 

I guess the gameplan for this week involves lots of Blitzen

Pause.

Make no mistake. This is what white people are supposed to be doing.

I am just tired of seeing those who put forth the effort treated as try hards or accused of looking for validation while others get chance after chance because they date black or can milly rock.

Eminem has done what for the culture exactly?

How’s Torts going this semester?
