I know this is completely irrational, but I would love Jenna Elfman’s character be Dharma after having to shoot zombie Greg in the face and turning hard and bitter.

I understand, but the problem is that my 2-year old already knows how to click around for different videos. It’s uncanny. I’m afraid that wouldn’t work for long. We have been good about no screen time for the past week, but we will break down, it just won’t be on YouTube.

Well this was horribly, horribly frightening.

For me, the Great Muppet Caper will always be the best. Charles Grodin! and, um, Charles Grodin! Also, 6-year old me waited the whole movie for the Baseball Diamond to be actually used for baseball, and the muppets did not disappoint.

After my wife and I read this piece we have decided no more YouTube, at least for a while. Our kids can look at Netflix or HBO Kids if we need a break, but I have seen our daughter click on some of those weird (but not too weird yet) videos.

Roger Goodell’s Kinja handle is Bull Moose?

I see what you’re saying, I don’t like the idea of my kids being subjected to toys ads either, but at least that is a known quantity.

This article has me definitely rethinking letting our child anywhere near YouTube. We started off saying we wouldn’t let her watch anything, but of course, we were tired one day and sometimes you need a just a moment to get the dishes done. We have always tried to be in the room and watching but these videos do come…

A good list, but I would add “The Raft” from Creepshow 2. I don’t remember any other part of that movie, but I was freaked out the first time I saw it. I know it may not be as iconic as some of the other items on this list, but gosh, the images of the black goo slowly killing off those swimmers still stick with me…

If you decide to wear a Sox cap, know that you may be expected to know something about the team, being asked by strangers about your take on the new manager or by how much they will beat the Yankees this next year.

So the travel hacks for Boston article is happening during “Evil Week” at Lifehacker...

I think this is an issue of what is actually meant by “culture”. To be fair, it is a bit of a made-up concept. Culture is very amorphous and despite being used collectively, it is often a very personal thing. What I perceive to be my culture to be is very much affected by who I am, including my skin color. If you were…

While I think it would be great if they did hire a “Sub-Saharan African”, the point is that having anyone with a different background from the white (male?) design team would have been an improvement. A guy “outta Compton” (and you do see how problematic it is that you use that as your example for a black American,…

Um, yes, the color of your skin absolutely dictates your culture. How you are viewed, how you are forced to see the world yourself, how you see your own family being treated in your society. All this has a role to play. There may be some aspects of culture that are not dictated by one’s outward appearance, at least in…

Missed it at first but now I cannot unsee it. Thank you?

Honestly, the thing that has worked for me is to make sure I look it up on my calorie tracker *before* I actually take it from the tray. Seeing how many calories are actually in that donut is helpful, and if I do end up eating it, I know I need to make sure I don’t have a big lunch/dinner later on.

Honest question: Is the Shannara Chronicles worth checking out? Love me some low fantasy, but don’t want another mopey teen drama. Thoughts?

I used to live a block away from there. Always wondered who put it up and what it was called.

Does anyone else remember this:

Holy #(&#*. I honestly had not heard of any of these save the Philly bombing. I know there are dark chapters in our history, but this needs to be talked about more. Thanks for highlighting it.
