Yhis is the date in 1969 on which Pierre Matignon, the literal last place rider in the Tour de France, defeated Eddy Merckx, the greatest of cyclist of all time, on the grueling Puy de Dôme stage. In case you think that the odds are ever too great.
In 1996 a Navy pilot decided to show his F-14 Tomcat off for his parents, climbed out at too steep an angle, and crashed his jet into a house in Nashville, killing himself and four other people. Why we don't treat the Department of Defense like a toy store.
Wait until Donald hears what tall glass buildings do to bird populations. Of course he knows, somehow, that he's lying. Or he's truly slipped off the edge. Which is possible.
"They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with - geometric logic - that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist!"
I always think of Brian Scalabrine, NBA utility player, wiping the floor with smug playground wannabees.
Not the main point, but they actually make tarps designed for construction fences. What a half-assed bunch of amateurs.
This is what happens when you have dogs and you start cooking dinner.
Soils in this part of the District are poor: there was a canalized Tiber Creek where Constitution Avenue is today and mud flats where the Lincoln Memorial is (which has an enormous, muddy crawlspace beneath it). That was an old problem that a motorcade would worsen.
Just means that, in the future, people like the rest of us will be able to dispatch you so far from us that we'll never have to think of you again.
Israeli guy saying "Nazi" and "stabbed in the back" in the same sentence is truly a great moment in non-self-awareness.
George Washington anxiously conducted himself with the greatest dignity lest he let the world think that the American presidency was a joke.
One of my friends watched the Rabaa Massacre from her family's apartment window. Fuck both of them.
The handball was egregious but smart. The biting was ridiculous and he should have been thrown out of the competition in 2014 after he bit the Italian. And that wasn't his first offense. I bought this Rudiger shirt after I saw this pic.
I just want to say that Donald J. Trump and, yes, anyone who supports him, deserves to permanently wear every foul, nausea-triggering, and feces-redolent epithet that can be thrown against him, her, or them in public. Never forget or forgive these people.
That's just not how the global air transportation system works. It's just not.
In all seriousness I propose that we raze the whole of the White House, hold a design competition for its replacement, and build a new Executive Mansion. The original structure is never going to look the same.
2014 me wouldn't have posted this photo. 2026 me is looking around for a sharpening stone because it's a big job and good equipment means efficiency.
Pretty sure that Heard and Stern left this one off their resumes but I definitely remember...
If Timothy McVeigh had strung out his post-conviction appeals, he would be a free man by August.
