Dogs That Should Have Won The Westminster Dog Show Instead Of This Silly Fluff Ball
Behold! The winner of the 142nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show: none other than Flynn the bichon frise, pictured above. A very good dog—aren’t they all?—and yet, from my point of view as an idiot completely uneducated on the subject, not the best dog. Clearly not the best dog. Flynn, like any bich...

The Chloe Kim Experience Was A Blast
There’s a sort of dissonance to watching American snowboarder Chloe Kim compete, and it goes a long way towards explaining why the experience is such a thrill.

Snowboarders Blast Olympic Organizers For Forcing "Shitshow" Slopestyle Final To Go On In High Winds

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — The period of Japanese colonial rule in Korea, from 1910 until 1945, was characterized by executions, forced labor, systematic rape of so-called “comfort women,” and other human rights atrocities. Japan’s whitewashing of this time period in their history books today is a c...
