badmouth Me And My Friends One More Time. I Dare Ya
Unless you’re seriously interested in Chicago transit and its troubles with pigeons treating parts of it the way pigeons treat pretty much everything, you’re only going to need the first minute or so of this video. That’s where the magic happens. Talk about dumb luck during a Morning Insiders interview – near a very busy …

Project Guideline: Like Guidelines, It’s a Place to Start
I’m not sure what to think of this. I think it has potential, but I am glad it’s an early prototype. It’s called Project Guideline, and its aim is to let blind people run independently without needing a dog, a cane or a human guide. There are good things about it, like how the app …

I Get Rough And Tough In The Puff ‘n’ Fluff! Noooo!
That soundtrack has nothing to do with the subject matter, but it’s what enters my head whenever I think about this invention…along with the imagined distressed sounds of dogs. I feel like a jerk making fun of an invention dreamed up by a third-grader, and maybe I can’t judge until I’ve actually laid hands on …

The One With The Minor-key Theme Song
I got far more enjoyment out of this than I ever have from an episode of friends, so nice work. Here’s what it’s supposed to sound like, although I might now argue that we’ve already heard what it’s supposed to sound like. And while I’m here, “Johnny Have You Seen Her”, the song the Rembrandts …
The Car Broke Down! What Do We Do!? I Know, Let’s Call Lyft Your Stuff

Seriously, it’s like the most bleeding obvious thing. But here I am, thinking about what I might want to give and receive for Christmas this year, and the ability to subscribe someone else to something they would want through only like the biggest subscription platform in the world isn’t a thing I can do.

The Only Way To Stop A Good Guy With A Key Is A Good Guy With A Gun
It’s bad enough that this woman shot her own daughter because she came home unexpectedly, but just look at this horseshit. Chief Norman said he tried to think of what advice to give in such a difficult case, “If you realize someone has a gun for protection, and they’re not expecting you — announce yourself when …

Happy Anniversary, Uncle Dad
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You’ll never catch me doing one of those stupid DNA tests. They’re just far more trouble than they’re worth. Here’s one more reason why. In an emotional letter to Slate’s Dear Prudence podcast, the woman explained how her and her husband grew up in the same small …
