I don’t do much but when I do you can bet money it is mediocre.

Columnist M. Gessen has been awarded the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in opinion writing, for "an illuminating collection of reported essays on rising authoritarian regimes that draw on history and personal experience to probe timely themes of oppression, belonging and exile."

No man should be triggered by the words of another man. It’s a sign of mental weakness and illness. Chud the Builder’s rise is a sign of weakness among black men.

Time for an old fashioned Dave's Car ID Service meandering car history lesson! This time about the world's most disturbing, and long-serving, tire company mascot and restaurant critic, The Michelin Man. That's what we here in the States call him anyway, elsewhere he's called 'Bib.' And how he came to be is a bit of a stemwinder, but one that you can use to amaze and/or bore to death fellow cocktail party guests. Let's start with the Brothers Michelin, Edouard and Andre, who owned a farm implement business in the southern city of Clermont-Ferrand. One day circa 1887 a bicyclist showed up at their door with a pneumatic tire in need of repair. That was a real bitch at the time, a couple hours of work, because tires were fixed to the wheel rim. That inspired them to design and create the first removable pneumatic tire, for which they received a patent in 1891. Voila, les freres Michelin struck it rich almost overnight, what with the huge bicycle craze, followed by cars, trucks, and motorcycles. This was also the high age of French advertising poster design, and you had to go big to attract attention on the poster-covered walls of Paris and Lyon. Enter "O'Galop," the pen name of French cartoonist Marius Rossillon. For the Michelins he designed a chimera tire-pile humanoid that that debuted at the Lyon exhibition in 1894. The 1898 poster below, by O'Galop, show how 'Bib' got his name: 'Nunc est bibibendum!!' - a Latin quote from the Roman poet Horace, meaning 'Now is the time for drinking!!' The rest is in French, which translates as "that's to say: to your health, Michelin tires drink up the obstacles!" Thus Bib is short for Bibendum, which is Latin for 'Drinkin' Time.' And look at ol' Bib, still poundin' down another glass of jagged rocks and broken glass while his competitors like 'Pneu X' are near dead. So why, as a pile of tires, is Bib white and not black? Because the process of carbonized rubber had not been invented in the 1890s, and rubber tires were off-white, the natural color of raw latex.

I can’t fathom how AOC’s first major foreign trip could’ve possibly gone worse for her. She begged for the global spotlight, then proceeded to make an absolute fool of herself in front of the entire world. Americans already knew she was wildly out of her depth, now the whole planet does too. Total, self-inflicted catastrophe. Hilarious to watch!

#Indiana football started in 1899. They now have six total bowl victories in program history. The dates: • Dec. 21, 1979 • Dec. 28, 1988 • Dec. 31, 1991 • Jan. 1, 2026 • Jan. 9, 2026 • Jan. 19, 2026 So the Hoosiers won as many bowl games in the last 19 days as they had in the previous 125 years combined. A truly mind-blowing story.
