It's USC, so the jury's still out on your question.

The current Penn Station is a transit facility only the Dolan family could love. I've been looking forward to the Moynihan Station "extension" across the street for years.

In his 20s, a great uncle of mine, a bit of a wastrel to be sure, was once stranded cashless out in the boonies somewhere across the country after an ill-conceived "adventure." He wanted to come home and in desperation called his sister (collect, of course) to ask for $10 (about $90 today) for a bus ticket. Being…

That's some Gary Coleman level of parental thievery going on right there. What a pair of parasites.

Fun Fact: the power source for any of these LRTs will be a dynamo driven by the spinning corpse of Robert Moses.

Gay people with immunity have the condition known as Rip Taylor Syndrome.

The only person I'd consider sending this to is so stupid that she'd probably smile and immediately turn the glitter into an applique for a denim jacket.

I'm sure Neil Young has the best intentions, but if P.T. Barnum were living now the saying would go "there's an audiophile born every minute."

Companies like Sony and their industry lobbyists will latch onto any pretext to re-introduce the same crappy bills that threaten our privacy and our control over our own devices under new names with slightly different language. They hope that somehow this time Internet users won't notice (hence sleazy tactics like…

Looks great. Of course, it's only a matter of time before the publishers go after it in a way that will make the airlines going after that hidden-cities site seem tame.

The only way you're gonna keep up with the DDOSers quickly enough is by banning entire IP blocks, and even then they're either spoofing legitimate ISPs and/or using zombie computers created by viruses so you're helping them do their work for them by blocking legit users. These script kiddies (they're not really…

I've seen the word "thirst" pop up on Gawker Media over the past few months, but didn't really get that it's shorthand for "childish attention seeking" until I read partway through this list. Thanks.

In a situation like this, it's hard to go wrong following the methodology of Tom Wilson (AKA Biff from "Back to the Future").

Thank you for a wonderful and well-sourced article (and a fine illustration) on the centenary of this important event. It stands as one of the few bright instances of humanity in an otherwise pointless and inhuman meatgrinder of a conflict that only served the egos of no-value-added aristrocrats and the bank accounts…

Did Greenpeace get new board members from PETA? That's the only explanation I can come up with for this moronic dickhead move.

Good for her. Opportunisitic ideologues like these poison the public discourse with their childish confrontations for the sake of confrontation, so it's great that their mommy is calling it what it is (and also supporting progressive issues).

That's just the sort of pissy, childish letter I'd expect from yet another bitter conservative debate-club nerd who still can't get over the fact that the "cool kids" in high school and college didn't respect him and his "edgy" contrarianism.

I thought "GNOC" was an acronym for a very specific pasta fetish (or so a friend told me).

Qatar, North Korea, FIFA, Coca Cola: that's a whole lot of evil and corruption piled into one story!

Chocolate always makes a difference, I'll admit. Even a town like Hershey tied its workers down and could choose the degree to which its workers/consumers were a captive audience. Whatever the intentions of the founders of the company town, eventually there's gonna be a new CEO who's a greedy control freak beholden…
