Someone being mean to you? Don't worry, they're in your dog's Burn Book. A new study shows that canines are so loyal that they will snub strangers who are mean to their owners, reports Today. Kyoto University in Japan found that dogs can tell when someone is being mean to a person they love and will react accordingly. Man's best friend will even refuse food given to them by strangers […]
Houston rap legends Geto Boys (currently Scarface, Willie D, and Bushwick Bill) haven't made an album together in ten years. Since 2005's The Foundation, all three rappers have gone their separate ways — with one-off reunions and even a tour in between — but now the trio are finally ready to release new music together, with an album called Habeas Corpus.

Spencer Kornhaber, Christopher Orr, and Amy Sullivan discuss the latest episode of Game of Thrones. Orr: [Long pause. Everyone, catch your breath. Maybe a glass of water? Depending on when you’re reading this, you might also want to tour the web for the horrified-reaction videos that will confirm you’re not alone. See? A perfectly normal response to extreme (televisual) trauma. You’re ready.] So, yes, that happened. Rest assured, non-book-readers, that […]

The […]
By the time we finally made our way to Meereen this week in the Game of Game of Thrones, I felt like Wun-Wun after a long walk in the snow: kind of over this. The gladiatorial drums of the fighting pits hammered away, as if to say "another day, another child burned to a crisp," but it was hard to get on board when the screams of Shireen Baratheon were still ringing […]

Unlike rival HBO, which launched HBO Now with Apple, Showtime has not struck an exclusive distribution deal and seems bent on making its $10.99 monthly service available on as many platforms as possible.
