So, I’m torn by all of this because, 1.) I hate clutter. My mom is hoarder, and it makes me anxious just visiting her. 2.) I have family heirlooms of hers because she’s kept everything. Many years ago, my grandmother bought a souvenir scarf while she was visiting the UK. It has all the London landmarks. It looks like…

Are you sure your design director isn’t up for a promotion?

Same in Southeastern Wisconsin, from Madison to Milwaukee.

Between watching Roger Ebert’s Life Itself, accepting that David Letterman will no longer be on five nights a week, and Jon Stewart leaving The Daily Show, I can’t handle any more crying. To some, these folks may seem like mere entertainers. But when someone comes into your home every damn day, for decades, then…

You know people who pursue wealth because it’s all they know? There are, I believe, people who pursue the most inexpensive things, because that’s all they know. And while there should be no shame in it, people who’ve often been in survival mode due to poverty will exhaust themselves and others with their logic. Which…

A friend of mine just shared it, and she just said everything perfectly.

SAY THAT AGAIN! Only buying cheap wine is like only eating the cheapest fast food or only buying the cheapest clothes. We all have budgets, but none of these things add true value to your life and don’t save you that much money. In some cases, it costs more to be cheap.

Let me also add that developing good taste means…

Which brings me to this fantastic woman I found on Facebook today.

This is an excellent idea. Raise your hand if you think millions of New Yorkers are willing to accept a moderate fare increase to pay for this.

I want your immune system, because you are still miraculously alive. Unless you have some sort of extra hand growing out of your back, then nevermind.

But there’s also:
Paris
London
Mexico
Atlanta
D.C.
South Africa
Rome
Milan
Sydney
Chicago
Oakland

And these are just the few cities I could name off the top of my head that have subways.

I just know if one more person gets pushed, I wouldn’t blame cabs or Uber for raising their prices because there is going to be high demand.

Stand against a pillar or near the stairs where you can escape or get a good grip.
Or put more anti-psychotic medication in the city tap water.

I have been riding subway systems all over the world, and this has been my ultimate fear for the last twenty years. More than drowning (I can swim) and plane crashes (I pay attention to safety instructions EVERY time).

I just try to stand back as far as possible until the train makes a complete stop. Even if it means…

Yeah I got that, but thanks.

Yeah, I remember that failed revival. Sorry it didn’t work out. But glad you found a perfect place for pop culture snark!

Wait...you worked at Best Week Ever!!?!?! To me, that is the story. Because I was one of the few who watched it online during its last few breaths of the Paul F. Tompkins era. Tell me more!

Chet Haze’s only purpose in my life is to scroll past his life.

Well, that’s also like saying what happens when you leave the house is less certain than if you didn’t; less certain if you got out of bed than if you stayed in bed. There are risks with making yourself available to the world and to individuals. But telling women that in matters of sex with men that it’s best to…

Has someone written a graphic novel series about your grandmother yet?* If not, we need someone over at io9 or Kotaku to get on that.
