The Weather Channel app is garbage. 2 days of “hourly” forecasts, and if you want anything further out, you’ve got to join as a “premium” member.

We were talking about this last night at work (i work for LEGO retail)

Why not just say you were born yesterday?

This belongs in the Smithsonian.

If you haven’t noticed, Jez has been ‘hollowed out’ (s/o to maraleia) in the last year. Lauren is one of less than a handful of writers that have been on staff for longer than 14 months. Deadspin’s death was quick and dignified comparatively.
