Burt one Christmas decided that he was mad that the national inquirer of all places had the biggest Christmas tree in LA. So he takes his helicopter and proceeds to dump tons of manure on the NI Christmas Tree.

I don’t really care who wins the democratic primary for senator in Maine but this just goes to my point that Senator, Congressperson, etc aren’t real jobs. That’s why 77 yr olds have no trouble doing them. I’m not saying 77 yr olds can’t do hard jobs, I’m suggesting they wouldn’t volunteer for them.

I’ve been thinking about it since the Texas game but we all understand this is the same shitty offense as last year the only difference is we have a more dynamic QB. Even in the Wins against Auburn and Michigan it’s the same shitty O just without a tackling dummy at the helm.

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

But that’s not even true. Sure nazism was on the rise after WW2 but it wasnt till after the American Great Depression that sent the death nail
In the Weimar Republic and the German economy.
