And no one understands him but his woman, who’s really gotten into genealogy and worked out the whole family tree.

I don’t know about this advice- if you never leave your apartment, how can you possibly be seen walking back to your apartment with a grocery bag that has a baguette prominently sticking out the top?

Yeah, they have those for electricity in Illinois too. Particularly if you live in an apartment building; companies love to get people in and sign up the whole building at once. 

It’s not something that personally bothers me, but I’m surprised Guinness hasn’t run into some issues with their marketing. The original stout is of course brewed in Dublin, and it’d be easy to assume that’s where other Guinness beers like Extra Stout and Harp come from as well, especially given the prominent…

I have to admit that when I saw the headline, I too initially thought it was when CJ gets banished to the countryside. I’ll say that section does have its charms; GTA had always been a very urban-focused series, so the shift to cross-country driving and the often hilariously weird rural criminal element was a fun…

When working with tape, it’s important to adhere to good scientific principles.

Apparently Frazier advised Porzingis to never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon.

It is known.

Same with Dorne. I know that the Sand Snakes were extinguished early in Season 7, and thus with them Dorne’s rebellion against the crown, and that they have a new Prince of Dorne in charge. But like the North and the Iron Islands, Dorne’s signature trait is a desire for autonomy from the rest of Westeros. It’s hard to…

They should have gone with Beercephalus, legendary horse of Ale-X-Ander the Great.

A Clash of Dings

Starts video: “Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence.”

It might make you more susceptible to reciting powerful magical incantations... not exactly correctly.

Judgement at Nurburgring

The argument for shorts is that they are a counterweight to hype, and in particular can draw public attention to problems with a business. Shorts are there to bet that a strategy/product/company won’t work, yes, but letting the market know you think it won’t work is valuable information itself, and shorts deserve to…

“You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight? I did, a long time ago, before I got this arthritis in my knees.”

The text on the wall is Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If—.” I feel like it might not be a great cultural fit for Jezebel.
