GOTH SIGOURNEY:
Helmut Newton, Sigourney Weaver, Los Angeles, 1983
FLYING THE FRIENDLY SKIES? I think you could consider this the do’s and don’t’s of the fine art of drinking while traveling.
WTF FACT OF THE WEEK: When you die, you have Abraham Lincoln to thank for the stuff they pump into you. Yes, that Abraham Lincoln.
‘MURICA: Can you even think of anything more American than this? Yeah. Didn’t think so.
RETAIL HELL: More bad news for two of the biggest brands in the fashion business.
THE NEW ROBBER BARONS…and the tools of their trade. More here.
BALANCING ON BOTTLES:
Our enduro-cross racing über-contributor Eric H returns with a hefty collection of clickables for this week’s Dossier and once again I get to step out of the way and have myself a well-earned libation.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? I mean. This seems fairly dangerous. As in, Beavis and Butthead dangerous.
H8TERS GONNA H8: It would seem that Eric and I are of the same opinion regarding Daylight Savings. If you aren’t a fan, make sure you’re not blaming the wrong people. Try not to be surprised.
LAUGH WHILE YOU CAN MONKEY BOY: Oh we have all had a good laugh at the incredibly short and useless arms of the T. Rex. We are idiots.
THE CASE FOR NOT SO AFFORDABLE: Why the world would be a better place if we had to pay more for clothes.
INTERNET FOR KIDS: Seems like this guy has some sincerely held beliefs about the current content. And if you’re a parent, this might be relevant to your interests.
GET YOURSELF CONNECTED: A Holiday guide for tech that may or may not keep an eye on you. And here’s the thinking behind why they published it.
GET YOURSELF DISCONNECTED: Freeze Yoself! Thanks to Equi-fux, you might just stop by here and here and here.
GAYLORD:
OH CANADA: This is not a stereotype. Nope. Not even. And this? Well this is simply a spectacularly crazy story. Full. On. Cray.
HIGH CLASS SHENANIGANS: Oops. I mean, look at the label. That should have been the first hint that something was amiss. Then there’s this.
DUDES: We have a tendency to do stupid stuff. Apparently, this is not a new thing. For a more modern example we turn to this poor schmuck. And whatever you do, don’t be like this guy.
SPEAKING OF FIRST CLASS DOUCHE CANOES: A certifiable piece of excrement.
UM, NO: Not once. Not one single time in my life have I wondered about this.
WHAT. THE. HAMBURGERS?
SPEAKING OF HORRIFYING…Apparently I’m still in Halloween mode. Two horror shorts for your viewing pleasure. This one is gross in a gnarly way. This one might make you re-think your Alexa.
WAIT, WHAT? I’m not certain this is a good thing or a bad thing. Who sees this information and how will it be used?
CONSEQUENCES: Or should it be, this is why we can’t have nice things? Either way, not the best of news.
SUNNY DAYS, SWEEPING THE CLOUDS AWAY: The five year old me would have shit my pants for this. Wouldn’t have even cared. You know what I mean? That illogical and completely unhinged moment of pure joy where you just let it all go. All of it. Yeah. Good times.
ONCE UPON A TIME:
FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK: Once upon a time there was the greatest comic strip that ever was. And for many reasons, it still hits close to home.
MOTHER NATURE IS SIMPLY BAD-ASS:
- Introducing newly discovered monstrous katydids. Yes, bad-ass.
- Two words: squish dragons. Mmm-hmm. Bad-ass. Also creepy AF.
- I mean, by definition, these beasties are bad-ass. I’m not going to say they’re my spirit animal, but…
- Admittedly, this is more dumb-ass than bad-ass depending on your point of view.
- Trees which just refuse to die. Definitely bad-ass.
MEET YOUR TROLLS! The more we learn about the Russian’s social media activities, the stranger it gets.
