i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

If you know anybody in middle Tennessee, there is a special election today. There is a strong chance to flip a seat from Trump’s control.

That Sabres uptick is primarily them getting Georgiyev off the books. I know they said he wasn't in their plans but I have a strict policy of not trusting such things.

The guys who work in my downtown office building (with tiny parking spots) driving massive F150s or the like feels very silly to me. Brother, you are not a contractor hauling materials to a worksite. You are a midlevel account executive at a regional marketing firm. That giant truck is unnecessary.
Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.
