Word of the Day

Skimp (v., SKIMP)

To use less of something than you really should. There are different levels of skimping, mostly tied to what you're skimping on. Food for a night? Not great, but understandable. Concrete mix for a bridge support? Very not good.

Chad and JT defend Birds at a city council meeting

When we were in Los Angeles for a work trip a couple months ago, it was impossible to miss the Birds. The ride-sharing scooter startup's machines were everywhere. That's the beauty of their model. Once you're done with a scooter, just leave it wherever, and someone else will pick it up. I know what you're thinking and yes, it is a bit of a nuisance. Cities don't like scooters lying *everywhere.* Some have banned Birds, leading to a lot of outrage from the 20-somethings who use them...like Chad and JT, who defend them to the West Hollywood City Council, beginning with the immortal words "Whaddup council:"

Look, we can't tell if this is entirely real or incredible performance art. But their ability to keep a straight face is impressive, especially as what their saying continues to be ridiculous. And, as one of our friends said, props to the city council for not shutting them down.
