That's right, tonight is an elimination game in the Stanley Cup Final. If Vegas doesn't win tonight, the Cup goes to DC. As the ONT goes to press, it's 3-2 Knights at the end of 2, after Vegas scored to pull ahead on a power play at 19:32 in the 2nd period.
Yeah, it's a real shit-storm. I mean, wholly crap that's scary, although Dave in Texas reminds us that many of us born during the Cold War remember being under constant threat of attack from icy BMs.

This is what passes for comedy these days. Escapist Children’s Literature For Melania Trump. I don't get it. It's not that I don't get it because Melania is supposed to be the butt of the joke and I <3 Melania or something, I mean I just don't get it. What's supposed to be funny? It's not even clever.

From her initial surprise that companies would try to monetize the popularity of comic books, to her take on Daisy BB-guns ( “disturbingly realistic” ) to the outrageous sexism displayed by X-Ray specs ( “the ads cause discomfort to this day by enthusiastically supporting young men in their attempt to spy or creep on young women “ ) and how Charles Atlas implies that “weak” men are bad, she looks at all of this through SJW-colored glasses and simply sniffs in her unearned moral superiority.
