Mail carriers say they are prepared for one of the busiest shipping times of the year. FedEx, in particular, says the company is committed to making it "easy, fast, and affordable for our customers."

Like I said. They are not even proper robber barons. No real philanthropic spirit - no museums or libraries. Just their own toys - rockets and cars.

Abbott Elementary premiered 3 years ago and is currently is on its 4th season. Now that’s my kinda math.

Ok, I’m trying to stay calm. Surely this was followed by “actually Mr. Trump, your China tariffs in your first term necessitated a bailout to American farmers totaling more than $30 billion.” Do they just…. not know?

I remember when you could just buy a computer program like Microsoft Word or Photoshop and just have it on your computer forever without having to pay monthly or yearly. What a time that was

I’ve been saying the same about racism for YEARS. They don’t know. The difference with race is they feel utterly confident that they know all that’s important.

The fall of Assad is not only an embarrassing defeat for Putin. It is also a very significant geopolitical loss for Russia. (Can’t say this enough: We don’t know what’s next.)
