Missy Elliott's Rad New Song "WTF" Is All The Caffeine You Need This Morning
Missy Elliott’s thrilling and frustrating slow-motion comeback continues apace. This year she’s popped up intermittently on the arms of Janet Jackson, the Skrillex/Diplo confluence unwisely known as Jack Ü, and Katy Perry via her Super Bowl extravaganza, where Missy upstaged everyone except maybe Le...

Only Time Itself Can Stop Kristaps Porzingis
On the antepenultimate and penultimate possessions, it was the same old Knicks. With three-plus seconds left, Carmelo Anthony clonked a three off the side of the backboard. On the other end, in the Hornets’ second attempt at an inbounds play, Jeremy Lin went over a screen and both Knicks defenders f...

Men's Rights Activists Trolled With Lines From <i>Good Will Hunting</i>
Scaachi Koul is a BuzzFeed Canada writer, and her pieces are mostly about race and gender. Beyond the garden variety garbage men bombard every woman on the internet with, Koul’s occupation and beat means she is subject to especially vile tweets, emails, and Facebook messages....

Magic Beat Lakers On Nikola Vucevic Buzzer-Beating Turnaround Jumper
I don’t think this is what the Magic drew up—and if it was, really?—but it was good enough to beat the Lakers, and advance to 4-5....

Report: Gerald Green Had Bloody Hands, Punched Someone In The Eye
Miami Heat swingman Gerald Green was hospitalized Nov. 4 after causing a commotion at his condominium that came with very little explanation. The Miami Herald has obtained the police report for the incident and unearthed a few more details about what happened, but they mostly raise further questions...

Report: George Karl Could Lose His Job By The End Of The Week
The Sacramento Kings started getting close to the edge of a bottomless pit this past offseason, but the last few days have seen them take a few more crucial steps towards oblivion.

The Only Rule Is Refusal: A Song For Rand Paul
By the end of last night’s debate, Rand Paul had been reduced to smirking and reciting the Real Fiscal Conservatism rulebook—You can’t spend trillions on the military and be a real conservative, so are you a real conservative?—like a five-year-old who’d caught a playmate in the irreconcilable though...

Aziz Ansari Has A Very Good Dad
By now you may have heard that Aziz Ansari’s real-life mom and dad act alongside him as his TV parents in his new Netflix series, Master of None. They steal the show, in fact, and you can tell Aziz is eating it up, because last night he shared the Late Show With Stephen Colbert stage with his dad. I...

<i>By The Sea</i> Makes Marriage Look Like A Beautiful, Painful Bore
About seven months after Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston got married, The Onion ran the brilliant headline “Brad Pitt Bored With Sight of Jennifer Aniston’s Naked Body.” It was a perfect joke on a couple of levels, but the element of truth that’s always stayed with me was the notion that even the mos...

Hard Cider Smackdown: Woodchuck Vs. Angry Orchard Vs. Your Sense Of Shame
Try to recall the events toward the middle-end of 2000’s Castaway, when Tom Hanks is making his triumphant return to U.S. soil. Rather than that weird company party in the airport broom closet or whatever it was, imagine instead that he was treated to an all-expenses-paid trip to the grocery store a...

<i>Fargo </i>Is The Best Show On TV Because It's The Coolest, Weirdest Place On TV
The second season of FX’s anthology series Fargo is such a self-evidently excellent show—it’s the best thing on TV right now, for my money—that it’s hard to describe just how good it is. Watching a new episode unfold is a bit like watching the San Antonio Spurs run yet another flawless offensive set...

This Terrible New Song From Spike Lee's <i>Chi-Raq</i> Can't Possibly Be Real
Okay, so when I first heard that Spike Lee was making a movie called Chi-Raq, I was a bit suspicious, given that his prolificacy makes him kind of hit-or-miss. Chiraq is a nickname for the parts of Chicago in which gun and gang violence are so rampant that they resemble a war zone. There are a whole...

What The Hell Are The Lakers Doing With D'Angelo Russell?
With the second pick in the 2015 draft, the Los Angeles Lakers considered selecting Kristaps Porzingis, but ultimately passed because, in the words of head coach Byron Scott, “[We] just thought it was going to take him some time [to develop].”...

The iTunes Terms And Conditions Makes A Great Graphic Novel
When iTunes hits you with their Terms and Conditions, you click “accept” and move on. It would take you a very, very long time to actually, you know, read it like you’re supposed to. But artist R. Sikoryak has come up with an easier, more enjoyable way to absorb it....

Erykah Badu Dedicated Her New Song To Her Good Pal, Drake
Drake and Erykah Badu have some kind of connection going here. A few weeks back, she put out her own rendition of his ubiquitous “Hotline Bling,” and now, she’s back with “Phone Down,” a new original song dedicated to dear old Aubrey....
