“Why is she hitting drywall with a hammer, seemingly at random? What outcome is she hoping for?”

OK, as a wetland ecologist by trade I’ve gotta stand up for swamps. They’re a good thing people!! They filter our water, serve as important wildlife habitat, promote aquifer recharge (vs runoff). They are SUPER important!

Ha! I call them “Newport Beach Housewives” since I used to see them all the time around Fashion Island. I’m just jealous since it’s been my life’s goal to be an overly-gymed Newport Beach Housewife. I’ve been failing miserably at it. I can’t tell if it’s because I’m not making myself available enough or if it’s…

As a Jew, I consider it my moral obligation to call out and prevent another Holocaust. Not just against my fellow Jews, but against any other group (and no, there ain’t no fucking “white genocide”). And there is a goddamn madman in charge of Syria. And I hate ISIS but that doesn’t mean that I support cozying up to a…

Heaven for-fucking-bid that an automotive blog get out in front of a political story that is directly at the heart of the American automotive industry and which they can talk about with knowledge, depth, and most importantly, specific knowledge of models, plants, and a history of tracking where vehicles are slated to…

I picked a helluva year to convert to Judaism.

Well, in that case, get better at this, America. Jesus.

But the response to it is better suited as the response to Master of None or Ghostbusters. All these are good products and they’re being made means we’re making some progress.

Yes, they lost to Cagliari and Palermo, and the draw against Fiorentina was probably undeserved, but Atalanta have taken wins from Inter, Napoli and Torino and are sitting comfortably sixth. A mid-table finish in Serie A is a reasonable goal for a club with modest ambitions.

Subcompact? Seriously? if that’s a subcompact, then that makes a focus a some sort of 4-wheeled moped, and a fiesta some sort of kinder-egg toy.

So really it’ll just become a brand for old people wanting to appear young? That seems awfully familiar.

To listen to him is to peer through the dim glass of a laundry machine, tumbling the same few colorful socks in different patterns; it was not enlightening, but it was not altogether unpleasant, either.

I’ve done a decent amount of coding

Quality isn’t profitable. It increases cost of production, and decreases demand by causing market saturation. Car companies have put in an awful lot of effort over the last several decades to establish this idea that you should get a new luxury car whenever yours gets old, and the sooner that happens, the more luxury…

Fun facts! For future reference to the author, Proud Boys can usually be distinguished from normal people from their unearned superiority complex; extreme penis envy; and constantly acting like the tiny dudes at the gym who curl in the squat rack and then puff their chest out.

That largely depends on whether you’re asking the Fred Perry company or the guy in 10-hole Docs, standing on your larynx…

You mean he couldn’t even identify Gowron as the leader of the Klingon High Council? 

Only in retrospect. The very same people who were all “they oughta throw that goddam n****r in jail” in August 1963 are today, almost to a man, beside themselves with faux admiration and respect for MLK’s courage and wisdom. But I was there, and I was listening to what they were saying back then, and I haven’t…

OK, so I went through the academic exercise of finding out what Two Big Thoughts David Brooks had in mind, and I was not disappointed, let me tell you!

So I actually clicked to see what Europeans two big ideas were.
