Best part about the Marie Antoinette references is that there’s no real evidence that she said “let them eat cake” - we’ve got this guy on live TV!

I saw this story on TikTok over the weekend and a lot of the comments referenced Paw Patrol. The problem is, I don’t know if those commenters are parents ... or kids who grew up watching PP (making me an ancient crypt-keeper).

(Hagerty, not Hagarty.)

Dumping a burning EV into the ocean is also not an option. 

As much as I dislike the movies (I’m a book purist), it sounds like Chris Columbus did a fantastic job of creating a fun and healthy (relatively) environment for all the child actors. That can’t have been an easy task, even for someone with as much experience with child actors as he had prior to HP.

I had no idea that was improv! 

The only good thing about this story is the inevitable reckoning that conservatives will have when someone makes the connection between Neuralink and “the mark of the Beast.” For those of you who remember your Y2K-era Christian fanfiction, the Left Behind books describe the Antichrist commanding the world to implant a…

Yeah I read “they literally did everything that was feasibly possible” with some befuddlement. They did everything... except have a working alarm system.

Oh, justice for Draco, he never had a chance with a dad like that (and clearly didn’t enjoy hugging Ol Voldy).

Except that walking around Vegas is an effing nightmare. I was there last year for work and despite being from NYC I was shocked by how much walking was necessary - mostly because crossing the Strip is strangely dangerous so you have to walk way out of your way to use one of the pedestrian bridges.

Someone had to fill the gap left partially open by Ol Cheeto Fingers.

Well, I imagine autonomous snowplows are still quite a ways off yet because snow (and water, if you’re thinking about autonomous boats) is reflective, so this seems as good a solution as any. I feel like there would certainly be a market - actually two markets, one municipal and one private - for this if a…

I’m hoping this will accidentally turn into a demolition derby. But I also think there’s some benefit in the novelty of this sort of thing, where various AV technologies get stress-tested next to each other. Is your tech good enough to understand and react when a competitor’s tech does something unpredictable and wrong…

My family had this one (or very similar) in navy blue. I still miss sitting in “the way back” and waving at drivers from the rear-facing seats.

One morning a couple years back I was sitting in bed scrolling on my phone when I heard a mighty crash outside my apartment window. Had a sinking feeling it had something to do with me. Went outside and, over the course of an hour or two, discovered that one of my neighbors had gotten off third shift, gone drinking…

Yeah, I read it more like a catechism than a novel. Very useful as a reference, has plenty of interesting sections, but ultimately not something that should be read linearly.

I love New York for so many reasons. One of them is the freedom that official spokespeople apparently have to call people “clowns” instead of something dry like “irresponsible passengers.”

H.E.R. has not been around for as long as many artists who make it to the Super Bowl, so she probably isn’t used to faking her performances. Think about how you can tell someone is lip-syncing - usually their breathing doesn’t line up. It takes practice to fake it successfully. (My dad told me as a kid that my…

FWIW, she did wear makeup. She obviously wore makeup at the SB and usually does wear some level of makeup at appearances - at least concealer and powder so she’s not blotchy or shiny under the camera lights. It’s just not full-face contouring and bright red lipstick, so people get confused as hell.

Nope. As a single woman who frankly is a lot pickier than she ought to be, looks absolutely DO NOT override everything. You are underestimating the Ick Factor. I don’t care if Cillian Murphy’s longlost twin brother showed up in my dating app feed - if he’s posing with his tongue out while petting a tiger or holding a…
