When two music superstars are feuding, the winners tend to be the fans.  After all, usually fighting makes for good music, and there’s a litany of rap diss tracks to prove it, as well as the entirety of Taylor Swift’s record-setting disography.  Now, once again, T.Swift and Kanye West are fighting in public, this time […]

There’s nothing cooler than an animal show.  I know they’re not encouraged these days, and that’s fine, but if you get a chance to pet a ray or see a dolphin jump through a hoop or splash around in a pool or something cool like that.  If it can be some sort of exotic animal, […]

Of the major fast food chains in the United States, my favorite is probably Wendy’s.  I’m not sure why.  My mom loves the Frosty.  I think the reason why I like Wendy’s, though, is because of the chili.  I love chili, and I don’t always want to make it for myself or open a can […]

The NBA has worked hard to get its drug issues under control.  Back in the 1970’s and 1980’s, cocaine abuse was rampant.  These days, the only drugs being used are probably pot and other small-time recreational relaxants and nothing quite so serious or potentially deadly.  (They may also be using PEDs, but there’s no telling […]

The transgender community is increasingly present in modern life.  With increasing openness about the issue, it’s only natural that there would be some increased prominence. We have transgender rock stars, transgender beauty queens, and even some countries are offering people a chance to pick a non-binary gender. However, while the transgender community is talked about a […]

People do strange things to be different.  Some people have their tongue lengthened to speak a foreign language better.  Other people were born with interesting accents.  Lisa Alamia got her new accent in a very unusual way: via weird medical disorder.  A Texas woman came out of jaw surgery with a British accent.  She’s one […]

One minute, you’re an official Olympic mascot.  The next minute, you’re a carpet.  That’s life in a country like Brazil, where clowns get elected to high office and political candidates hand out cocaine for votes.  Just moments after being feted during a torch-lighting ceremony in Manaus, Olympic mascot Juma the jaguar was shot and killed […]

Nintendo has dominated the hand-held game market since hand-held gaming became a thing.  The company’s sold hundreds of millions of editions of its GameBoy, GameBoy Color, DS, 3DS, and 2DS handhelds, and it’s not surprising that Nintendo would feel the pinch of the smartphone revolution a bit harder than Sony or Microsoft.  However, the company […]

The KFC Yum Center isn’t typically a place for a funeral.  However, most people aren’t the greatest boxer who ever lived.  Most people aren’t cultural icons.  Most people aren’t world champions and Olympic gold medalists.  Most people aren’t Muhammad Ali, who was honored today with a funeral procession and incredible memorial service.  The three-time world […]

When you think of BMW, you don’t think of being arrested.  You think of class and luxury.  However, as it turns out, BMW isn’t just the people who sell cars to your dentist, they’re also full-fledged auto manufacturers with an eye on the bottom line.  Sometimes, that means expanding the business.  Los Angeles is providing […]

Remember MySpace?  Probably not; the world’s most popular social network went from being the place for everyone to gather in the online world to an afterthought.  It’s been passed around, the core concept has been changed, sold and resold and launched and relaunched countless times.  And yet, it continues to kick around, and it continues to […]

Last night, my phone battery died. Normally, I plug my phone in and it’s fine in a few minutes or a few hours, depending on just how dead my phone might be.  However, last night, I plugged my phone in and… nothing.  I tried multiple chargers and cords, to no avail.  I tried rebooting my […]

It seems that no one can escape the Transportation Security Administration’s wrath.  Well, not wrath so much as sloth and incompetence.  Long lines at major airports are nothing new; even leaving the local airport on my last flight meant some pretty significant waiting in lines, though nothing like what happened at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. On […]

I noticed something strange on my phone today.  I don’t always pay attention to the apps and games that are on my phone, but when I noticed one particular change, it jumped right out at me.  The icon for Instagram had changed.  A drastic change, if I’m honest.  Gone is the clean icon in the […]

This year’s political circus is one of the nastiest I can remember in recent memory.  For all the flack Obama took in both his terms, it wasn’t nearly as bad as what the current nominees are going through.  Whether you support Hillary Clinton, are down with Donald Trump, feel the Bern with Bernie Sanders, or […]
