because we care about you:

It’s nice to see the entire Lifehacker staff live, but Alice Bradley is the next-door neighbor America needs.

The googly eyes on the VR headset is a nice touch.

Picasa is finally dead to Mac. Previous to Catalina it would run and complain, now it won’t run at all.

It’s interesting how this story also has ads for “sexy” Halloween costumes.

Nothing to do with your article or reporting, but maybe ask your ad department to check the keywording on articles.

this + smart assistant = Dungeons and Dragons familiar

Not everyone is physically or temperamentally suited for caregiving and unless you’re expecting 24x7 attention (which is exhausting for the caregiver) a device like this can provide companionship and consistency to those who need it.

I saw Willem Dafoe + old-timey + Robert this-will-make-them-take-me-seriously Pattinson and thought the same thing.

Add in a Lars von Trier in-scene camera move and natural lighting and voila!

Maybe it will surprise and be a good Trollhunter-in-the-littoral zone move though. Dafoe is a good actor when he keeps his…

That’s why even in the book Buffalo Bill didn’t get much of an origin story. He just was a force, like a tornado or an earthquake or an animal driven mad with hunger - maybe he had motivations but all that mattered was the pain he was causing.

Someone didn’t pay their FTC bribes on time...

He’s the My Turn candidate, just like Hillary Clinton, Bob Dole, John McCain, John Kerry and all of the candidates who have seen President as a promotion they had worked very hard for and were somehow owed. And they all lost.

Nope. Democrats vote for hope (which in our culture means youth and charisma), Republicans go…

I know most NFL players are not like this guy and for every guy like this there are 20 NFL players who are decent guys working their asses off and breaking their bodies so some fat dipshit can scream at them how to block.

Did Clancy ever start putting himself in his novels the way Cussler did?

Definitely check out The Hunt For Red October - aside from the tone-deaf casting choice of Sean Connery as a Russian sub commander, it’s a great movie from a great book from the Cold War era when Tom Clancy was still writing great books.

CNN did more to elect Trump with its nonstop free press coverage than the white-right ever did. Not that anyone’s a hero there.

How do they get these dogs to look at the camera?

We don’t have to ask that question any longer- can download it from GitHub.

Thanks for the link to Quick and Dirty Tips - I’d forgotten about what great podcasts Grammar Girl and her adjective crew (Savvy Psychologist, Nutty Neurologist, Super-Excited Teacher, Merry Mechanic, etc) have laid down.

For anyone who hasn’t checked them out - there’s a ton of stuff for your listening pleasure and…

The principal thing I learned from this video is that Alice Bradley is really charming.

Is this The White Plague by Frank Herbert? Because it sounds like The White Plague. Which was a novel that definitely had words and pages and a whooooooole lot of descriptions of Ireland as a very very very very very green place and made me never want to read another Frank Herbert novel.
