November 5." It's a rip-off the tagline "Winter Is Coming" from the fantasy show that HBO was not too happy about Trump stealing. Now he's taking the thing to meetings. Everything about this is weird and depressing, but probably the worst thing about Trump showing off his doctored image to his cabinet like a proud child is that it makes no goddamn sense.

The resulting turmoil was what gave Kabila's government the opening to shut down the Internet.

It's not just you, either. It's all the pizzas—the neighborhood joints, the Huts, the Papas. How can I leave the one thing I love so much more to turn to a cheap imitation? But in that year, I will remember the sweet release of a good garlic parm-dusted crust. I will recall the pain and ecstasy of not waiting long enough to put you in my mouth and thus causing one of those blisters that stays on your tongue for three days. I'll remember it all.
