Jason Momoa speaking to Hugh Grant in Dothraki is beautiful to watch

TwitterFacebook

Speaking another language is a pretty cool party trick in any situation — but when the language in question is Dothraki, and the person delivering it happens to be Jason fricking Momoa, the whole thing gets taken to another level.

The Game of Thrones star appeared on The Graham Norton Show on Friday alongside Hugh Grant and comedian Sarah Millican. At one point he was asked by Norton to prove his knowledge of the Dothraki language, and prove it he most certainly did.

Just look at Hugh Grant’s cheerfully smiling face in the clip above. It’s not 100% clear if he actually knows what’s happening, but you can tell he’s having a lovely time either way. Read more…

The UK again says Uber drivers are employees—next stop is the Supreme Court

TwitterFacebook

Uber is already fighting U.K. officials over its ban from London. Now the ride-hailing giant might head to the Supreme Court—for another case entirely. 

Uber lost an appeal Friday over a ruling that required the company to categorize its drivers as employees with worker benefits like minimum wage, overtime, and vacation pay and not as independent, self-employed contractors. 

This is a battle Uber has fought all over the world, including a major lawsuit in California. Classifying its drivers as employees would upend Uber’s business model, which depends on the kind of obligations-free labor independent contractors provide. This is the same problem that faces other fast-growing gig economy companies that rely on independent workers, like Postmates and Instacart.  Read more…

Capri Sun-style pouches of whisky are the best thing to happen since whisky

TwitterFacebook

Forget wine of the month clubs — what we truly need are whisky of the month clubs.

A new subscription service called Whisky Me recently launched in the U.K., and while the idea of subscription boxes with booze is nothing new, the company’s packaging is pretty neat.

Each month, a new whisky will arrive in the mail in a little pouch, sort of like those Capri Sun pouches you used to drink as a kid. Thankfully, these have a twist-off top, so you won’t get an eyeful of whiskey trying to poke through the pouch with a straw.  Read more…

TwitterFacebook

Mere days after his brother Noel featured a scissor player at one of his concerts, Liam Gallagher has one-upped him with something even weirder

Oh, it’s … uh … it’s just a guy peeling a potato. Okay!

It all began on Tuesday, when Gallagher announced that he was “looking for somebody to peel some spuds live onstage” at a show that nightAs NME points out, Gallagher is fond of referring to his brother as a “potato,” so we are sure this makes sense somehow.
