One of the things that always stuck with me was Dr. McCoy's disgust with 20th Century medicine. He would lose his MIND over early 21st Century medicine.

I remember writing years ago about a then-new initiative by Amazon to disrupt local government procurement of things like office and school supplies. Turns out Amazon's become very popular with school districts, and it's using dynamic pricing to rip those schools off.

Really bothering me that ESPN’s projected CFP bracket features a really unlikely scenario (it specifies that Miami in as the ACC Champion, which has like a 10% chance of happening, maybe less)

There are a couple of films I've seen upwards of 100+ times. The first films I pirated on VHS that I wore through every day after school while I was doing homework. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ark definitely. BACK TO THE FUTURE, THE KARATE KID... anyway, watching BACK TO THE FUTURE again and still fresh.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.
