I had watched the movie so many times. When I was in college, I’d come home for Thanksgiving break and flip on Jodie Foster’s “Home for the Holidays” while sipping a peppermint mocha. Maybe he’ll take to the Charlie Brown holiday specials this year. Or maybe he’ll continue to worship “The Polar Express,” turning the pages of the hardcover book in his lap as he watches the snowy scenes unfold. Images like this burn into my memory more than any still, scene or set from a movie.

18 Colorado rallied to beat Colorado State 43-35 early Sunday in front of a full house packed with celebrities. Sanders connected with Harrison for an 18-yard score and then found an open Xavier Weaver on the 2-point conversion. After the game, Sanders and Norvell shook hands near midfield amid a sea of fans. “This rivalry has been going on way longer before I got here,” said Norvell, who's in his second season at Colorado State. Colorado State put a bye week to good use by finding ways to contain Sanders and the explosive Colorado offense for most of the game.

Ralphie, who went viral earlier this year for a Facebook post that described him with brutal honesty, has been adopted. Ralphie spent time with the Niagara SPCA this year after two owners decided he was too much to handle. The 26-pound, one-year-old white French bulldog with black spots drew quite a bit of attention earlier this year after a January Facebook post described the temperamental pup as "a whole jerk." "Ralphie is a terror in a somewhat small package," a January Facebook post from the Niagara County SPCA read. However, as someone with experience training dogs, Jason knew helping Ralphie through his triggers and aggression would take time.

☆ Berlinale film 'Manodrome' explores misogynistic world of incel culture

[1/5] Cast members Adrien Brody, Odessa Young, Jesse Eisenberg and director John Trengove attend a photo call to promote the movie 'Manodrome'' at the 73rd Berlinale International Film Festival in Berlin, Germany, February 18, 2023. The film, which premieres at the Berlin Film Festival on Saturday, explores the "manosphere" of online toxic masculinity that bubbled up into the mainstream after a series of mass killings by "incels" - the self-described "involuntary celibates" - in the 2010s. They eventually win Ralphie as a new adherent to their cult and initiate him by branding him with their symbol. "It really became this idea of a character who just immerses himself in a world of men. And it all kind of leads to a sort of madness, a kind of a fever dream," Trengove told the premiere's audience.

A popular Facebook post shared over 700 times since last week describes the pup as "a whole jerk." What could go wrong with a 26lb dog, right?

As of Friday, Ralphie was still available for adoption, according to CNN.

But realistically, buying a quality leather jacket can become a substantial financial investment — one that most guys aren't ready to make (myself included). Most worthwhile options cost around $700 or more, which, for a while, meant that my only chance of getting a premium yet affordable leather jacket would be in a thrift store. That was, until I found out one of my favorite shoe startups was making really nice leather jackets without the retail markup. Very seldom will you find a genuine leather jacket of this quality at an under-$500 price. According to a currency inflation calculator, the $700 my dad spent on his leather jacket in 1996 is equivalent to $1,121.24 in today's dollars.
