Yes! Hatchbacks are so much more practical I'd never buy another sedan again.

Why is it still so freaking ugly?  Every time I see one on the road I think to myself ‘how did that fucking thing get past the design phase in this form?’

I always look forward to your articles, Peter. This one is great as usual! I love what you said about the Blade Runner game because for me, it was *the* experience of that narrative for the longest time. Now that it’s been many years I suppose the book has supplanted it in my mind, but the events and themes and things…

At this point I am sort of enjoying the herbaceous ads. They’re so wildly mistargeted to me that I can only assume that the ad metrics group are about as capable as the kinja krew.

I completely disagree and think that fake “French provincial” in suburban Florida is much uglier and more offensive than authentic modern in southern California, but where we can probably both agree is that these are both monstrosities that should not exist.

I’m not voting for Bloomberg but I am literally not mad that he is spending some of his billions reminding voters all the time how terrible Trump is.  Carry on, Mike.

For the sake of clarity, are we talking about the TIGER’s heart? Or, the hired help’s?

Florida?

This is my regular reminder of how much I truly despise rich people. $23,000 for a god damn purse, and an impractical one to boot.

I love you for being a foul-mouthed no-nonsense Children’s Librarian.  May your days be full of joy.

Listen, I travel for work and I would LOVE if I could get one elsewhere but they are but sub-par imitations. I have had many NYC bodega bacon/egg/cheese sandwiches and many bacon/egg/cheese sandwiches in other parts of the country. None were as good as the bodega. There is apparently something about the water in NYC. I…

I cannot tell whether this is a bit or written in all seriousness.

You’re welcome to use as much bacon as you’d like in your home, but if you’re ordering one on the street or in a bodega, what you’re getting is probably one or two fried eggs (please don’t put scrambled eggs on a breakfast sandwich) and melted (usually) American cheese. It’s a big pile of sodium, fat and protein. You…

Children’s librarian here: The Hobbit is such a better book for kids than Lord of the Rings it’s unreal. No meandering, no bullshit, just a fun adventure with a narrator who’s more interested in telling a story than relaying facts.

FOR REAL. Also, bartending is a marketable skill you can put on a resume. Having an imaginary Twitter cow is not.

He’s so wrong.
The Hobbit has a heart and sense of levity that Tolkien lost as his work got more and more serious. The fairy-tale sense of wonder started to disappear.

Would you say that Volvo...

I’m admittedly biased since I am a Volvo owner, but I would happily throw myself into debt if they ever brought back the C30 with their current design language. Make the turbo 4 the base engine at about 200-240hp (similar to the I5 output of the last gen) and offer a PHEV option. Hell, I would even be happy with a V40…

But imagine how much MORE money they would bring in if they just stuck to sports...
