Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas), the chairman of the House Rules Committee, has recently introduced a resolution called “Recognizing magic as a rare and valuable art form and national treasure.”
At the end of every year, it seems like our society is allowing more and more room for hot garbage to fill our pop charts. We say this not as haters of pop music—we are not one of those finger-waggy assholes who thinks that Katy Perry, for example, does not make "real" music because she doesn't write and produce all…
Musician, comedian, grammar police officer and magician—yes, Weird Al is all of these things it seems.
We're hitting the afternoon hard here on Jezebel, and what better way to deal with the "after lunch blahs" than to check out something really cool? There isn't one! Check out this flower. You are never going to guess what it's made of. Not in a million years.
What is a new day except a fresh opportunity to discover new uses for coconut oil? From beauty aid to bathtub scrub, oil of coconut will make you prettier, thinner, softer, suppler, and a better lover on account of how it will do all those others things. Soon, it will unlock the mystery of all diseases and the…
Yay!!! GoopTalk™! Brand new GoopTalk™! Nothing gets me through a dreary Wednesday afternoon grind like Our Lady of Goop talkin' about stuff. This week on the mind of Goop: Water has feelings and if it gets grumpy it turns to poison! (Goop. Quick Q. Are you sure you aren't thinking of snakes?)
Here is a cake in the shape of a unicorn farting rainbow farts. You are welcome.
Finally, someone has harnessed the true power of technology to give us the future we deserve: one that is full of wish-granting and the tender realization that magic has always existed (but, like, in the power of the human heart). By this I mean that former model Lily Cole — who is especially qualified for the task…
Dogs are so sweet and so trusting (especially when treats are involved) that it seems almost cruel to confuse them by offering them a treat and then making it disappear before their very eyes. Dogs didn't pay $39.95 — and a two-drink minimum— for this show and they're not impressed by the way you move your hands,…
Well, this is absolutely magical. Except for the guy who told the piano to shut up. That dude was not magical.
I know that headline sounds nonsensey, but it's actually exactly what happens in the mesmerizing short film above. Also, I didn't even mention the part where she transforms into the sparkling, indifferent void of the universe itself, so quit cryin'.
Sometimes, my problems feel so cliched. Am I happy? Am I loving and supporting those I care about in a way that they deserve? Will I die alone? And most importantly, how can I enhance my own magical powers when I am not personally all that magically gifted? Thankfully, the answer to my final question has been…
Something nice happened! Something really actually nice happened! A woman in Kent, WA (King County! Woooooo!) discovered that her wedding dress was stolen out of the trunk of her car on her wedding day. (King County. Boooooooooo.) In tears, she called 911, and the emergency faeries connected her with precisely the…
The special effects in Game of Thrones are as complicated as the family dynamics — and just as much is at stake. (Not really, it's just a TV show.)
Ugh, vampires have been lurking and staring and silently inhaling ravioli fumes on dates with high school-aged human women for, like, years now. We are all tired of it. It's about time for a sea change in the Sexy Mystical Young Adult Fiction Love Interest landscape. In this instance, "sea change" literally means…
Ugh, it looks like the ouija board has become the newest victim of science's ceaseless vendetta against my childhood ambition of growing up to be a very successful witch. It seems that science won't be satiated until it has me drinking a bitter potion made of tears shed whilst watching the Long Island Medium, which…
Earlier this week, we found out that Indonesia would finally be doing something about all the out-of-wedlock sex and black magic that its citizens are enjoying, probably simultaneously, since a proper, married household hardly seems like the place for the occult. A new criminal code currently making the legislative…
Now, even I'm not a goofy enough feminist stereotype to get all up-in-arms about 17th-century witch-burning as a tangible, pressing, current lady-problem. Buuuuuut...sometimes (all the times) we do feel the echoes of long-past injustices in our largely mundane modern lives. And aren't thought experiments fun? On the…
If you were ever curious about where kittens come from — and I bet you were! — you no longer have to plead with the heavens to unleash its secrets upon you. Now that you know, can you say you're surprised? It's the cuteness of the human baby, distilled into its purest form. All of the adorableness of the human baby…
Watch this majestic sea turtle bother this SCUBA diver — it's the most adorable form of harassment that I've ever seen. If walking down the street meant that I'd get harassed by a sea turtle, I'd happily strut my stuff down the any (underwater?) boulevard.
