You get to write about guinea pig bridges! How is that not your best life?

Good news is that the camouflage hid the damage. Whistle and walk Patrick. Nothing to see here.

An ethics course? Unfortunately they provide absolutely no guidance in what is and isn’t acceptable ethics. What I got out of mine is there is this thing called ethics. It’s up to you do decide what you can live with doing.

Paul Jones has asked the Pentagon Papers to please be returned. We don’t need GM’s permission to publish newsworthy information.

I hate it when people use a car before me and don’t leave some gas in it.

By your definition he wouldn’t be a journalist at all, he’d be a paid mouth-piece to regurgitate press releases for public consumption. And if that were the case, I wouldn’t even be visiting jalopnik or any other such websites at all.

He got punished for being a journo instead of the good little boy who drinks the…

On the contrary - by publishing it, he was technically being unethical. He may not have been the one to leak it, by publishing it, he was just as complicit in unethical behavior. It was GM’s document; GM’s data. As such, they have every single right to determine when, where, or even if it gets shared. By publishing…

Not a vision issue. It is strictly a issue of excessive speed, due to inadequate braking for weight-transfer to add grip to front wheels for the turn...adding more steering at that point would only exasperate the problem...if Chris Harris ever got himself into this situation to begin with, a big ballsy stab at the…

The absolute best thing I like about Jalopnik is that you guys don’t blow smoke up manufacturer’s asses. You play it straight. Far too often do I read reviews elsewhere and it is little more than the press release with some additional fluff from the media outlet.
Leaks happen, and those places get asked to take them…

Okay. Here’s the first thing. I don’t support publishing internal documents they way you did — these are not the Pentagon papers, which would have never seen the light of day had it not been for reporters. Instead, you helped deflate GM’s carefully timed and choreographed big party — which they spent serious $ on, for…

You were just following orders, Patrick.

Was it because the tire pressure wasn't verified by a digital gauge, or because you just simply couldn't see the outside world from inside one of those things?

Houston, Texas, also. Still inexpensive, but with world class opera, theatre, and ballet, if you’re into the culture stuff. Also 45 minutes from the beach (Galveston, not pristine, but still the ocean/bay). Rent is cheap and houses are affordable, if you avoid Memorial and the village

Houston doesn’t get enough credit for the great culture it’s got. It’s not my kind of city because I don’t drive and its more segregated than I’m comfortable with, but their arts scene is fantastic. It’s also a pretty diverse city with some active immigrant communities to introduce a lot of interesting elements to the…

If you’re on Pinterest, I find that’s a great way to get cooking/recipe ideas. You can search by ingredients you like and it’ll take you to lots of blogs with really good recipes for even the most basic cooking skills.

Or you could have a little self-respect, calmly stand up for yourself, and not let unreasonable people walk all over you. Chen didn’t escalate anything by asking the manager not to yell. The manager escalated it by yelling.

“Here at Starbucks, we care about our customers. If at anytime you’re not satisfied with your order, BYE! BYE! BYE!”

I used to work for the tabloids, so it’s not a question of if I have a story, but which one I tell the Jezzies.
There was the time Dave Navaro refused to be interviewed unless I gave him a blow-job. He had just married Carmen Electra.
There was the time on a red carpet that a very drunk Gary Busey asked me how, a…
