crap is that tonight?

how does a fantasy F1 team work with two drivers per team?

Teamsters Boss Who Nearly Came to Blows With Markwayne Mullin Endorses His DHS Nomination The Teamsters president who nearly came to blows with Sen. Markwayne Mullin during a Senate hearing has endorsed Mullin's nomination.

The “my child died when they said they were trans“ stuff is so bizarre. Did you really enter parenthood not expecting that your child would surprise you somehow?

My review of John Cage's 4′33″? No notes.

Flat Stanley is a book about a kid who is flattened to half-inch thick and lives his whole life that way and the most unrealistic thing about it is that a cop apologizes

10yo is reading The Power Broker, which puts him decades ahead of most people who have claimed they have read The Power Broker
