The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Got my mail in ballot today, reading the instructions and I got to this part...
I then spent the next five minutes Googling USPS rates to confirm that, yes, one Forever stamp is now 50¢.If mailing apply proper first class postage (50¢).

Last week I took a trip down to Cincinnati. Somewhere around Toledo, I heard this anti-abortion ad that used this audio from a speech given by some nobody in 2010:
Can you say "manipulative", "false equivalency", and "dear god why is this playing on a radio station"?

Yes, but former three time Jeopardy champion Erin Zwiener won in a state representative race in Texas! https://www.statesman.com/news/20181106 ... in-suburbs
Love her campaign website. https://www.erinforyall.com/

Re: Reretaken Down
On a positive note Morbeedo, if you get to $5,000 on WWTBAM Wednesday, you would have won more money than more than half the contestants on Jeopardy!
I hope I didn't jinx anything.

So close...

And as is mentioned in the article (and possibly one of my favorite stats ever): if deGrom had received a run support of just 4.0, he would have been 30-0. That's a record that would have stood for eternity.

Re: Reretaken Down
That's one name I haven't heard in years. Looking at his Twitter, I see he's still the same old Armond, though. I wonder how many fights he's picked / names he's misspelled this month...
Y'know, though -- as someone who despises the groupthink that's so prevalent in art criticism in particular -- when I was watching movies more regularly, I really admired the guy. I guess I still do.
