Cats have a distinct advantage over humans when it comes to entertaining their young. We don't have anything that even comes close to being this enthralling for our babies. Oh no, wait. I forgot about smartphones.

I just wanted to say I am a long time reader and I finally got the nerve up to make my very first comment :)

Haha, I must be psychic! ;) Woo-hoo for 29! (And every other age- you all rock!)

Just as long as you avoid the Helvetica Scenario.

A takeaway in the tragic news about Walker is that by all accounts he was as lovely inside as he was outside, without the artifice or ego so otherwise abundant throughout Hollywoodland. This Vanity Fair cover from 2000 likely isn't intentional, but take note of its now-poignant look: Amid those preening and looking…

Fortunately, you don't get to police other people's grief. People never know what's going to affect them, and it can be totally unexpected. People don't need to be shamed for feeling sad.

He didn't die as a result of street racing. You are aware that the Fast & Furious movies are not a fly-on-the-wall documentary following Paul Walker round in his everyday life, right?

A lesser known side of Paul Walker is the man who studied marine biology in college, idolized Jacques Cousteau, and volunteered to be part of the crew of a scientific expedition researching Great White Sharks (called Expedition Great White, which aired on the National Geographic Channel).

I recognize your name! I was Ripleyandsomenumbers and there was another in there as well (I forget passwords like nobody's business). Anyway, this was a really nice comment, thank you! :)

I know he was in the Fast and Furious franchise, but I loved him in Pleasantville.

You know how old school Captain America had Bucky Barnes? If Marvel had created a Nazi supervillain for Cap to fight during WWII, his sidekick probably would've been named something like "Scooter Braun".

I'm sorry you have to holiday blog, Burt, but I'm happy that it's your articles I'll get to read all day. Happy Burtsgiving, everyone!

LOL LOL LOL BOTH of those things have appeared on this site in the past week. We shared the excellent Gawker interview with her regarding the film, AND if you tilt your head slightly down, you will see that the lovely and brilliant Ms. Wood's statement led our Tweet Beat last night. BUT HAVE A SLICE OF PUMPKIN PIE…

So, here's the thing: on my first read through I thought it said Kanye West was going to be in Coriolanus and I was like "that's strange but AMAZING". Now I see that it is Tom Hiddleston (pause for hyperventilation bc omgTAAAAAAAAHM) and since I am not sure which of those people I want to see more in Coriolanus I vote…

Thanks.

It's the textual equivalent of, "Don't forget to SMILE! ALL THE TIME! or people will think you're a BITCH!" And just as men can get away with having a relatively neutral expression most of the time, they can also afford to be less effusive with the punctuation while texting.

The Ellipsis: how we know we're in trouble via text. It's like... three times as aggressive as the period.

Um, you ended that second sentence with a question mark, so now I think you're a liar?

Based on this the new Target website is apparently FURIOUS at me - and all of America!
