As an ISU fan I hope they throw the books at him. Absolute knob.

Check out Blackshirts and Reds, by Michael Parenti. It's an amazing book about the history of the relationship/battle between fascism and communism in the world over the 20th century (spoiler alert, fascism won).

I also really want UU especially because we already have BYU. Rivalries are good for a conference.

USC and UCLA will bring B10 to 16, not 14

We set ours on a pedestal and give them a megaphone though.

Well then I want to know the numbers proposed. I'm guessing numbers have been floated to CU.

Sounds like a pretty sure thing at this point, and I'm hearing rumors that a non-four corners "surprise" wants to comes with. No idea if it's legit but this could get interesting.

I really just want to know the details of the PAC 12 media deal.

I miss hating NU tbh, as an ISU fan. Never really cared about MU tbh, I'd keep WVU over them for sure.

I'll throw a shoutout to Onyx Boox, rather than Kobo or Kindle. It runs Android, can run literally any file type, doesn't lock you into an ecosystem with DRM where you don't really own the books you buy. I despise Kobo and Kindle for that reason.

But I totally agree about how nice e-ink is. It's literally as good as paper. Maybe better. Soooo nice.

I got an Onyx Boox Leaf 2 e-reader, and it's fantastic, I'd highly recommend it. The great thing about it, is that it runs Android, which means you can get Hoopla, Libby, Overdrive, the Barnes and Noble app, the Kindle app, etc, so all your ebooks are in one place and can be read on your device.

I get all my ebooks for free, by getting public domain stuff from these two places. PG has more selection but Standard has better formatting and is just generally higher quality. This ereader has paid itself off in like 6 months with the money I saved on buying books.

I rent ebooks from the library using both Hoopla, and Libby.

So NHTSA is pretending to care about pedestrians for the first time in their existence? This is a nice surprise.

He was paid to tank Twitter.
