An octave is a pretty massive shift for the human voice. 

Fuck the filibuster—kill the Senate.

Apparently unpopular opinion: Being able to read what your parents/grandparents wrote on pieces of paper is a useful skill that should be encouraged.

Yeah, with interest that $500 could have been $510

Michigan J. Frog criminally underrated.

Framing innocent black people instead of simply murdering them puts these officers among our nation’s finest.

A life in prison will do wonders for his appearance. Fewer opportunities to longingly gaze directly at the sun.
