Notice More Things
Eye fatigue from fixing your gaze on a lurid screen. Back cricks from the bad chair. Shivering from too much air-conditioning. Perfect numbness to the surroundings amid which you’ve spent far too many of your hours. You could wile away all your vacation days just counting all the ways it is possible...
<i>Space Jam</i> Was Bad, The LeBron Remake Could Be Worse
Love of Space Jam is the perfect case study in false memory—take a childhood novelty, give yourself a decade of distance, layer on some of the currently rampant ’90s nostalgia, and all of a sudden everyone you know swoons over something that was pretty bad. The sum total of praise Space Jam deserves...
The Rock's New Motivational Phone App Is Terrifying
I have never much enjoyed waking up in a state of panic, but if you’re looking to put more alarm in your alarm clock, you may enjoy the new app by professional large human Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Rock Clock, a simple app with a design scheme reminiscent of energy drinks and dried meat snacks, let...
Dogs May Not Be Down With Hugs
Dogs are a man’s best friend, and like some of man’s best friends, dogs might get stressed when man starts trying all that sappy and vulnerable hug stuff, according to one dog-hug truther and professor emeritus of psychology. In a piece for Psychology Today, Stanley Coren surveyed 250 randomly sampl...
How To Avoid Getting Hacked Like Laremy Tunsil
Laremy Tunsil might have the distinction of being the only celebrity to claim “I was hacked” without lying, as our own website was quick to note. It’s the quickest, laziest, lamest excuse to toss out after, say, a direct message that wasn’t as direct as expected (see wretched Anthony’s Weiner) or a ...
Pizza Box Is Neither Pizza Nor Box
Almost every day, we see people peddling novelty foodstuffs with dreams of virality. To offer some pushback against this desperate search for e-relevance, we often need to ask some hard questions. Today’s culprit is the Pizza Box—a box for pizza that is, itself, a pizza....
Compress Your Misery Into Intervals To Get Good Health
The king of excuses to avoid exercise is a lack of time. Sadly, the excuse will no longer apply—research has given us more reason to believe you can get a good workout in a trivial timeframe. In a new study, sedentary subjects who did one minute of high-intensity exercise saw the same health benefit...
Chobani Yogurt Man Is Good Boss
Hamdi Ulukaya, the founder of Chobani yogurt, is a good yogurt mogul who also made a lot of his yogurt minions rich today. May we all pressure our bosses to be more like him....
Put Steam In Your Nose
With pollen counts spiking, you may have found your nasal passages cemented shut this weekend. The finest way to spend a day in the park is with your head all heavy with snot and your mouth dry from all the (literal) mouth-breathing. A Kleenex is meaningless at that point—no amount of nose-blowing, ...
Decoding <i>GQ</i>'s Most Stylish Men In The World
GQ has blessed us with their annual Most Stylish Men list, and you’ll never guess what all these gentlemen have in common!...
NBA Players, Like Us, Can't Stop Touching Their Phones At Halftime
A question of willpower: if you were being paid tens of thousands to play each professional basketball game, could you manage to stay off your phone at halftime? Easy for me to say hell yes from a haughty blogger perch—and maybe the answer still is hell yes—but for many NBA players, scrolling throug...
Voting Booth Selfies Aren't Legal Everywhere, But They Should Be
Can you snap a poorly lit selfie right there in the booth with your ballot all filled out? Can you do a vote just for the ’Gram? Technically, yes, you can take the picture wherever, but your social-media share might be illegal depending on where you are. Many states ban the practice with laws intend...
Hand Dryers Spread The Viruses That You Failed To Wash Off
Dyson hand dryers are the finest part of visiting an airport restroom—which, to be fair, is not a difficult contest to win. Just dunk your hands into “Airblade,” a gift from the dystopian future, and without you touching a single surface, it’ll whip every droplet of water off your hands. But because...
Let's Set Some Dang Goals
Goals. How do they work? They’re as mystifying as magnets. Apart from very concrete, snaggable things—a new job offer, a school acceptance, sufficient savings for a new car—lots of people just try to do things well until they get incrementally better at the thing, never having any firm standard to m...
Stop Interrupting People
When you move to a big city, and your social life largely migrates to cramped apartment parties and music-blaring bars, you may find yourself becoming your own worst enemy: an interruptor. Unless you have rare-bird bodily charisma or a god-voice booming enough (or shrill enough) to cut through any d...
Coloring Books May Ease Your Crushing Anxiety
Justin Bieber, apparently bored with apologizing in song and antagonizing Post Malone, has started exploring a new medium. He took to Instagram recently to present some visual art, in the salacious person of a NSFW tomahawk-wielding manga nymph. While I cannot endorse his choice of material—is this ...
Kobe's Sad Farewell Tour Can Turn Even Haters Into Pitying Fans
Nike released a new video to commemorate the imminent burial of basketball corpse Kobe Bryant, digging deeper into their branding strategy that casts him as both hero and villain, because dualities are extremely profound. So from a slew of athletes we hear both bland admiration and what at times fee...
Facebook Is All Sad Because No One Wants To Share With Them Anymore
You’re bored, so you stagger out onto a virtual stage under a searingly bright virtual spotlight, look out at your virtual audience, and see an alienating stew of every social group you’ve ever belonged to, with plenty of friends’ dads, former authority figures, ex-enemies, fleeting acquaintances, a...
How To Live Confidently With A Name No One Can Pronounce
I would like to announce that I am not a girl-blogger seeking anonymity, as many of our commenters suspect....
What Do You Do If Your Roommate Bails Mid-Lease?
Living in a high-rent, densely packed city brings people together into close quarters. Which makes for fun conditions if you’re living with established pals, but if one of those pals, say, vanishes mid-lease, without warning, to move to a distant state, what’s a guy to do?...
