If that’s not proof of the timeless, cross-generational power of Muhammad Ali, I don’t know what is.

Since most of what I think about McGregor-Diaz was summed up here, I’ll just ask — anyone care to talk about the Rousey-Holm-Tate roshambo that is the top of the women’s bantamweight division?

I’m idly organizing my plans for books to read in the next year or so (I finally bought a Kindle, which makes this organization slightly less speculative), and as I was paging through many “Best of 2015” lists, I wondered if you good people might have recommendations. So let’s book chat for a minute! Can you tell me:

Let’s put this in perspective for a second: if you want to understand how any living thing gets energy, you have to start with the primary producers in a system. For us terrestrial beings, that means organisms that can photosynthesize (green plants, algae) — and when you get down to it, what it really means is that…

Sorry for posting a second music thread in a row, but I’ve been really feeling my Sunday afternoon playlists and I was wondering if anybody else has go-to Sunday music. I sure do! You know the kind — music for when you don’t have to be doing anything in particular — or maybe should be doing something in particular but…

Is everyone ready? Maybe I should buy more snacks in case the world ends. Some moon songs in the comments - feel free to add your own.

is it this kind of poll

Tired of being bugged by people who think that being a lady in public = open to any conversation and casual touching at any moment strangers find convenient? Well, have I (actually, designer Anouk Wipprecht) got a solution for you.

While I'm sure we'll get some more snow — at least on and off for the next couple of months — it is more or less springtime in my region now, which means lots and lots of outdoor time for me! Last year I almost bit the bullet and spent $48 on a big thing of Supergoop after trying it and LOVING it (non-greasy, smelled…

Et tu, Vermont Teddy Bear?

I am so angry about this that I don't even know where to start.

A different approach to this would be "what movies do you judge people for liking?" — but I actually like a lot of objectively bad movies and feel we should be free to like what we like, find the things that sustain us, etc. etc. etc. whatever. However, there are definitely times when people have strongly…

I have been trying to de-stress myself in advance of Christmas, with mixed results. For example, yesterday I closed my eyes and put some rain sounds on via Spotify, forgetting that since I have free Spotify, rain sounds would be periodically interrupted by ads for a yell-growly single that seemed to be called GET OUT…

Clashtalk! The last few months of non-internet life have been nutso-busy, so I've been very quiet in the Kinjaverse for the most part. Don't worry though, I've been creepily lurking. Thus, here is a creepy but excellent love song in celebration. I HOPE YOU ARE ALL WELL.

Some internet jerkwad came at us and everyone performed admirably — writers, mods, commenters, and a few sassy Redditors who made my heart sing. So I'd like to take a minute to say....

1. Maryland. Let's get this out of the way: I have biases. But honestly, Maryland is the best example of how to do this flag thing right. Distinctive colors in a catchy pattern that dates back to traditional heraldry. This flag is so rad that the state has actual rules on what should be at the top of the flagpole (a…

It's a Treat Yo Self kind of weekend in the Jeans household. This was a long-ass, fraught, sleep-deprived week that is finally looking up. So yesterday I went out with a girlfriend for pedicures, Thai food, and milkshakes, today I am watching football and old movies and cooking a nice dinner, and tomorrow so help me…
