Nothing like your dishwasher door microswitch failing the morning after you host a group of friends for a day of booze and food to make you zero in on which kitchen appliance you wouldn't want to live without

Agree 100%. Chat rooms were weird and cool, like having a gigantic rolodex of real-time pen pals.

That sounds like a fun drinking game. Everyone picks a red state out of a hat, and you go around the table listing dreadful Republicans. Your state, drink! Both Senators, drain the bottle.

Control of the House isn't going to come down to a small number of close races; the military seizing ballots would lead to riots in the streets; the "incumbent Republican majority" will be dissolved on January 3rd so it won't be there to do anything.

It's a nightmare in that it's entirely made up.

As the puppy mills ramp up, Penny's Westminster win could be bad news for the Doberman breed in the near future.

Dobies need tons of exercise and mental stimulation, which folks won't be ready for, and the shelters will subsequently fill. If you're taking the plunge, PLEASE foster or adopt first.

On this day in 2020, the US Senate predictably failed to clear the floor-level bar of removing an impeached president who openly tried to extort an ally for political gain. And America said chillax dudes, he's *definitely* learned his lesson *this* time

Great work by Sen. Lucas who was relentless in making this happen.

It's still useful as a dark money conduit to enrich a certain US president and his spawn, though.
