Learning how to get your shit together at 2 AM so you can write a damn essay good enough to pass in the next six hours is an essential skill with VERY practical application in the real world.
Not learning how to do that deprives you later in life.

Bragging about Lord Dampnut's participation trophy is the funniest thing Gutfeld has ever done.
GUTFELD: “I love that the peace price went to Trump and not Greta Thunberg.”
TURNER: “Because it was created it for him.”
GUTFELD: “So?”
TURNER: “There were no other candidates.”

To be frank, holy shit.
Holy moly: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope construction is completed! That's fantastic news — much needed right now — and I am very much looking forward to when this beast launches. It has 100X the field of view of Hubble.

Increased lottery jackpots are a sign of desperate times.
Why do the poor buy so many lottery tickets? Because they can't see a way to work their way out of debt.

Olympic ice surface length less than 197 feet compared to NHL length of 200
Olympic hockey has often been played on an ice surface larger than NHL regulation, but it appears the 2026 Games will be played on a more contained area at less than 197 feet from end to end.

Looking at five mid-level players the #Canucks might move, with a reason to keep or trade any of them. Because nothing says "Canucks" like taking half measures!

The best part is seeing what happens when you give children a joyful way to start their day. They show up energized, confident, and connected. This is what happens when streets feel welcoming and movement is part of the morning routine. #BikeBus

A look at some mid-level players the Vancouver #Canucks might move along. If they aren't going full rebuild, but still want a serious change, one of these players is the way to go.

"They're changing our culture!"
Everything - literally everything - changes our culture. A culture that doesn't change is functionally dead. It's why fascists always hearken to the past.
It's not your culture you're trying to save. It's your memories.

All this does is give a platform to Global Tetrahedron. I hope the people who made this are ashamed. Ashamed and filled with woe. And probably eggnog. I hope they're FILLED with WAY TOO MUCH EGGNOG! BASTARDS!

Good point! This much interest this early does not bode well for any member of the incumbent party.
i'd say the midterm-level turnout for a special election is even more ominous than the swing

When Mussolini created modern political fascism, he knew that the myth of it "coming from the minds of the people" was important. It had to look like there was a lot of support.
That's why the dorks on the bridge last time keep moving from place to place to place, pretending support is widespread.
