You cannot possibly tell me that it would be better to live in 1442 than it would be to live in ancient Rome. Possibly functioning sewer systems, roads, literacy, written penal codes, trials by jury, etc.

I went to high school (very old, very British) with Stevens; he was a few years behind me and I remember him well. My senior year (equivalent), the senior winter play was Macbeth, and Stevens, then in what would have been ninth grade, got the lead. He was already the size of the seniors, and he stalked around the…

Nader voters for BLM against Sanders!

So, one more white elephant cities will be expected to build to host the Summer Olympics starting in 2024 or so?

Screw the lake, L.A. could have a 40-mile surfing marathon if they could just find some water for the aqueduct.

Unfortunately, tens of thousands of actual New Yorkers have to go to Times Square every day for work.

This is not “slightly distorted info.” This is specifically reporting that a dozen balls were at a specific pressure, which was wildly wrong. That’s called “lying.”

What a bitchy statement by Mortensen. He’s been the centerpiece of the story since the beginning - his tweet is what elevated it from “The Colts are whining after getting blown out” to “The Patriots are CHEATERS! Look, they deflated all of the balls by 20%!!”, and was outright false - and his reporting remains the…

The “irreparable injury” standard here is trivial. Brady is a (shortly) 38-year-old quarterback, being asked to miss what’s likely a tenth or more of the remaining games he’s able to play in his career. The only question is whether they can show a likelihood of success on the merits, but it’s a balancing test anyway -…

Not to defend overpriced shitty burgers and awful domestic brews, but at Fenway you can actually buy Legal’s Chowder from a guy walking up and down the aisle, Harpoon IPA from most beer stalls, and Cisco Whale’s Tale if you know where to look. The last time I went to Yankee Stadium, the “good” concession was Johnny…

If an expensive music video made by a millennial centimillionaire to whine about another millennial millionaire poaching her employees is a manifesto of any kind, I’m pretty sure I don’t want to read it.

Chipotle’s guac is perfectly fine for fast food guac, but please don’t waste your avocados on this if you’re making guac at home. The secret to great guac is to add the avocados last. That way you don’t get a mushy paste, you get a chunky, fresh-tasting mix of awesome.

Is there an option for a version that doesn’t make you look like you’re being attacked by a camera-sporting zombie? Or should I just get some bronzer with mine?

If you only have it "for the next several years," does that imply that you leased? I love the idea of the GTI, but what looks like a fantastic deal to purchase suddenly becomes less so when I realize that BMW will lease you a 3-series for what VW wants in order to lease a GTI - and I haven't been able to get…

A voicemail I received at 10:30am on Tuesday, September 11, 2001:

Seconded (fourthed?) on the Gustbuster. If I had to nominate just one model, I think the Classic is the perfect size; I keep one in my office, one on the back parcel shelf of my car, two at home. I've never had one break, I've never had one flip out on me, and they're substantially less expensive than most "luxury"…

A two-to-one ratio of rye to Martini & Rossi red will taste, not like candy, but maybe like those weird candies your grandpa kept in a jar. Four-to-one-to-one of rye, sweet vermouth and dry vermouth tastes like heaven. If you're going to stick with sweet vermouth only, at least keep it closer to three-to-one.

That's a good idea! But it leads to another problem: if I've put the stuffing on the baking dish to soak in all the juices that come out of the bird while cooking, then what do I use to make a gravy? It's a domino effect of ruining my childhood.

Does being an adult mean that I can't stuff my chicken full of Stove Top before I cook it? Because if that's true than I'm selling my house and my car and my SUV and my roasting pan and moving back into my childhood home where I can get some goddamn stuffing with my roast chicken.

Who, these guys?

American Airlines didn't skimp on their coach customers either, apparently.
