Trump vs. Ocasio-Cortez: Who Will Win the Internet?

They both know how to control the narrative. But one of them comes across as a human being and the other as a cartoon bobblehead.

I am betting on Ocasio-Cortez.

Trump is irrational.

The Gear You Need for a New Year (and a New You)

You need resolve more than equipment to make your resolutions real, but a few special things can keep you inspired and use those gift cards you got for the holidays.

I like a Classic sketch book  5.5X8.5 in for choice.
A pencil, hb, or a fiber pen black .5 mm.

This Quirky Car Is Japanese. But There’s ‘Something Very British’ About It.

The tiny Nissan Figaro, which can be spotted in Britain in the thousands, is an oddball little convertible with an ardent following and a back story that is even odder.
