The trick is to never take any measurements in your home and be like “Well, I don’t know if it’ll fit in that corner of the living room” at every single piece of furniture, and then leave the store with a stuffed shark plushie.

Ex Machina was the Bluebeard story on film, though no one seemed to notice.

Another fine entry for Jezeroot!

Bloggers Tom & Lorenzo christened Channing “Charming Potato” and it’s all I see when I look at him. I don’t get the appeal, other than his dance skills.

The other day I saw gravity at Barnes & Noble looking for a book on Simone Biles.

I love that he was the one that was worried and all the women were all, yeah dude you’re weird and not AAAAH!!.

A man walked into the ladies room after me at an airport last week. Not in a creepy way, but in an “airports are so mind-numbing I can’t process visual information anymore” way.

Your HitchBot takedown is to this day one of my favorite things I have ever read on the Internet, and your writing is a big part of how I got to be a passionate NBA fan.

The best thing I ever did was start putting masking tape labels with contents and date on my leftovers. Now my kids and I are much more likely to eat them, regardless of the container. And I’m more likely to chuck them in a timely manner. Downside is I no longer get to see what funny looking mold formations can be…

How Much Do You Know About the Russia Investigation?
