I don’t begrudge the rest of the world their use of the metric system, and I do understand that it’s the “language” of science, just as Latin is the language of science. But I don’t want my country to adopt it, any more than I want the US to adopt Vatican-like Latin word inventions for modern technology. And I’ve…

How about hoverbikes? In order to get around Japan’s new road laws limiting modifications made to vehicles traveling on public roads, the producers of the traditionally motorcycle-based Kamen Rider franchise have partnered with A.L.I. Technologies to mod their XTurismo model into something they can actually put an…

Hand to heart, I glimpsed this article in the promo field on Gizmodo, and fully expected to be taken to The Onion when I clicked on it. Upon review, this was shoddy thinking, and I should have realized that believing his own angelic presence would have stopped the inevitable bad fruit of the trees of racism and…

Being possessed by a desperate thirst that drives one to appear in every awards show produced in the last decade does not qualify one for any career honors. Making your delivery of college freshman-quality spoken word poetry all but inevitable during those appearances doesn’t do the trick, either. Dating Tiffany…

I would accept the premise here if the article was written by a Gen Z’er, because all it takes is a cursory glance to see that they, unlike the 3 generations before them, are actually getting things done. More than that, they manifest a clear sense of fairness, compassion for those in radically different situations,…

That line was so classic that SNL borrowed it for Eddy Murphy’s return, in a sketch about Santa’s elves and polar bears. Go to 1:42 for the set-up and line, or just watch the whole thing.

I liked her so much while following the 2018 governor’s race, and I was so infuriated at the undisguised perfidy that led to her eventual loss, that I feared the worst when that loss happened. Turns out I needn’t have worried, because the woman is get-things-doner, and her energy and activism during the 2020 general…

Dude, Reagan was President 32 years ago. This isn’t politics anymore, it’s history. And it was absolutely bad at the time, with even more awful ramifications that didn’t come to full fruition until years and decades later.

Holy Goddamn. She starts out at mid-playoff intensity, and actually picks up speed from there. Watching that was transcendent, and I wish she qualified for some sort of genius grant that let her spend a year a year or two just writing and delivering sacred demolitions like this one to the deserving.

Wait, you don’t hold T.I. vs TIP to be a classic album?

...the creation of a Dr. Seuss series of planners despite the author’s racist iconography[...]

“Mine came out in like a month [...] (Apparently because of how much I work out).”

“[...]maybe everyone will become less self-conscious about their appearance in a good way.”

Whoa.  What comic is this from?

This woman...wow. Just the absolute definition of the term “hot mess.”

It almost looks like Interzone, but there aren’t enough “boys” in the picture...

Ye gods! Whether you love Wendy Williams, or you hate her, there is zero reason to put that particular photo of her atop your article.  Everyone can take a bad picture, but that shot is a good way to make children log off the internet.

That’s true, but only if by “poor people,” you mean the actual wrestlers that occupy the low to mid rungs of a promotion’s talent ladder getting shortchanged, low-balled, undercompensated, etc. by the promoters they work for. On the customer end, anyone paying for a seat at a show is getting a pretty impressive…

Man, SNL alum and heavy-hitting comedy genius, sings great, dances well in a variety of styles, former King George in Hamilton, and now Spider-Man writer. Taran Killam is living the f’ing LIFE.

Inorite?  Nominative determinism is a real thing.  I was literally taught to read at a HS level at age 6 by Mr. Reading, who had developed his own teaching system for that sort of thing.
