It's election season here in the stars and stripes, and that means engines are running a little hotter than usual. And by hotter than usual, we mean steaming on the side of desert highway while the people who put a carnival barker in the Oval Office and the people who will literally never forgive them for it press each other's foreheads to the engine block. But out of this turmoil—as the plumes of metaphorically seared flesh billow into the air—something genuinely good has arisen. Something inspiring. Something hopeful. Something that might even make you smile. That something is the greatest political attack ad in the history of not only the medium, but America itself. Behold:

Wayyyy back in April, when the New York Mets were good for like 10 days, Rob Friedman aka @PitchingNinja on Twitter gifted us with a GIF of a seemingly impossibly pitch to hit from the hammer of Thor, Noah Syndergaard. While Friedman has posted plenty more great pitching GIFs since (it's kinda what the whole account is about), Syndergaard's filthy two-seamer may have met its match on Tuesday night.

This pitch came from the right arm of Jordan Hicks, one that doubles as a flamethrower when he enters games in the late innings for the St. Louis Cardinals. Hicks, a 22-year-old rookie reliever who has shown loads of potential this season, was called upon in the seventh inning of a huge game against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday and came up big. He needed only 13 pitches to earn his 24th hold of the season, the 10th most of any relief pitcher in the league. Pitches like this ridiculous..

Hot on the heels of Nintendo's miniaturizations of the iconic NES and SNES consoles, Sony has announced they are reviving the original PlayStation—probably the greatest video game system of all time—as the PlayStation Classic just in time for your Black Friday Best Buy stampede.
A perfect mirror of the original 1994 console, only 45% smaller, the PlayStation Classic comes pre-loaded with Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash!, Ridge Racer Type 4, Tekken 3, Wild Arms, and 15 other yet-to-be announced games and packed with two pre-dual shock controllers.

I promise I'll never ask for anything again).
The PlayStation Classic will retai..
