This really caught me by surprise. Westerberg's a notorious hater of everything! He's basically Tim Bostelle, but from Minneapolis instead of Seattle.
Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg was a teenage punk-rocker when he had his first life-altering experience listening to Prince. Decades later, after playing the same clubs as the late star and recording frequently at Paisley Park, he's still in awe. "He was like a ray of light in a very cautious place,"...
Oh, the poor heel. For some of you, this is the best part of the loaf, but for many more, it's easily the most unloved section. It doesn't matter if it's a loaf of hearty sourdough or a baguette, the heel always seems to end up neglected. Next time you have the bookend of a loaf left over, think twice before tossing it — you might be surprised by just how much it can do.

I'm sorry, children of Jezebel. Gypsy has already been done perfectly, starring Rosalind Russel as Mama Rose and Natalie Motherfucking Wood as Louise.

I stopped watching this show, but damn, that UTI song is fucking hilarious.
For its entire first season, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has been tackling the topics near and dear to a woman’s heart (sometimes literally) through song and Monday night’s episode—with its ode to UTIs as a result of sex—was no different.
why would you need to put pants on? they have a drive-thru ffs.
Youtubers Brothers Green aka Josh and Mike bring us these two videos showing how to make Taco Bell’s classic menu at home. You know, so you don’t have to put pants on and drive to the restaurant, I guess. Still, seems like a lot of effort. Like, more effort than just putting on your damn […]
iOS/Android: National parks are a wonderful way to experience the outdoors, but knowing all the options available in each park takes a lot of research. Chimani lets you pick a park and shows you the activities, amenities, and points of interest all in one place to make the most of your trip.
this is a super cute pun. way to keep yourself relevant, cinnamon toast crunch!
Cinnamon Toast Crunch, the greatest cereal of all time, brings us Squad Bowls, the most ridiculous product of all time. Yes, that’s beating the Selfie Spoon they introduced last year. Squad Bowls is a cluster of conjoined bowls meant to accommodate cereal-eating for you and your closest 2, 3, 4, or 5 pals. So, uh, […]

I recently ordered a couple of Hubble Space Telescope picture books and - wow, are they ever gorgeous! I've been paging through them every day for two weeks, just soaking in all that beautiful imagery. Seeing all those colorful nebulae inspired me to buy two extra-large canvases to recreate some nebula images for my office walls. I've yet to set brush to canvas though, because I was also inspired to practice my galaxy-painting on cake! Continued, click to read more...
Charlie Comero was disappointed when he learned last week that he had to start using the women's restroom in North Carolina, thanks to a new state law signed by Gov. Pat McCrory.
i downloaded the bit where she is supposed to control my nest thermostat, and she is very confused about it. it makes me stabby, even though it is not something i need her to do. if you tell me this will work, make it fucking WORK, ALEXA.
The Amazon Echo offers our first serious glimpse into the future of an intelligent home. It’s not perfect, but whether you’re you’re thinking of getting an Echo, hear people talking about “Alexa,” or not sure what the one you have is capable of, here are some of the best things you can do with it.
i just don't understand jezebel's hatred for meghan trainor. her songs are catchy and she's super cute.
Meghan Trainor is a Grammy-winning singer whose claim to fame is dancing sassily
in music videos for fatally empowering pop songs like “All About That Bass” and, most recently, “No.” Sam Smith is a Grammy-winning, incessantly-shrinking artist who won this year’s Best Song Oscar for the Bond ballad “Writings on the Wall,” which is a song. These two chummy vocal-chord-surgery-having singers should stop lying to themselves and experience the unsustainable standard of living we call wedded bliss.
MATH FTW! When I was a Standards publisher, one of my subcommittees was ISO TC 56 on Statistical Sampling and Analysis. :)
During World War II, as they mulled whether to attempt an invasion of the continent, the Allies needed to estimate the number of tanks Germany was producing. They asked their intelligence services to guess the number by spying on German factories and counting tanks on the battlefield, but these efforts produced contradictory estimates. Finally they resorted to statistical analysis.
They did this by studying the serial numbers on captured and destroyed German tanks. Suppose German tanks are numbered sequentially 1, 2, 3, …, B, where B is the total number of tanks that we seek to know. And suppose that we have five captured tanks whose serial numbers are 21, 35, 42, 60, and 89. It turns out that
where N is the sample size (here, 5) and M is the highest sampled number (here, 89). In this example, the formula tells us that B = 105.8, so we’d estimate that 106 tanks had been produced at that time.
In the event, Allied statisticians reportedly estimated that the Germans had produced 246 tanks per month between June 1940 and September 1942. Intelligence estimates had put the total at about 1,400. When the Allies captured German production records after the war, they found that they had produced 245 tanks per month during those three years, almost precisely what the statisticians had predicted, and less than 20 percent of the intelligence estimate.

A nine-year-old girl from Miami, Florida, completed a 24-hour course designed for actual adult members of the U.S. Navy. This makes me feel like she would definitely beat me up in a bar room brawl, if either of us were likely to get into bar room brawls in the first place.
Snoop Dogg narrates a wild bout between a squirrel and a snake in the first installment of his new web series, "Planet Snoop," which arrives via the cannabis and culture platform, Merry Jane.

i just ordered a sample of this perfume yesterday! it was highly recommended.
I am outgoing, but not exactly the genre of person who normally speaks to random people on the street; nor have I ever been the type of woman who is so beautiful or alluring that strangers feel utterly compelled to speak to me. But in the past few months, more randos have approached me than they ever have in my life, with a specific topic of substance to discuss: they would like to talk about my perfume.
that took a LOT longer than i expected. the sound was incredible. now i want to do this.
Do you ever just wanna light a match and watch it all go up in flames? Congratulations, you’re a pyromaniac. And you’re gonna love this video of 6,000 matches being lit all at once. My god, it’s glorious. That said, you should probably NOT recreate this at home. In fact, I’m going to suggest that you […]
