It’s laughable that Amazon is denying engaging in a practice that nearly every large company in the United States shamelessly engages in with little or no consequence. Might as well just come out and admit it.

Speaking as someone who was a big Moxy Früvous fan back in the day: To hell with Jian Ghomeshi. He can stay gone.

Harper’s lost me as a subscriber with Katie Roiphe, and with John Hockenberry, it’s shown me that I don’t need to miss it anymore.

Two words: “business plan.”

Anime is an endless progression of neoteny.
