I subscribe to The Guardian online because I discovered I was landing on their site at least once a day via links, so I figured I should throw them some money. They cover all the major news from around the world, so at least I feel halfway informed, but they don't appear to have any copy editors (does any newspaper…

Seriously. Option-u for the umlaut, Option-c for the cedilla. It's not rocket science.

Oh, come on. You're not really trying. You couldn't have said that those are the same hangers that Slenderman uses for his suits? That might have made me want to click on your link. Lost opportunity, buddy.

I couldn't get very excited about this: I'm probably a philistine but her music has been a part of my life since 1979 and as far as I'm concerned, her last great album was "Hounds of Love" and her last great song was "The Sensual World". A few tracks on "The Red Shoes" and "Aerial" are okay, but they don't reach the…

Theodore Sturgeon wrote a lovely story, "The World Well Lost", that plays on an aspect of this convention.

Yes, as the second sentence of the article explained, or did you not even bother to read it?

Not everything the Brits do is smart or highbrow, you know: for five years there was a show called Brainiac: Science Abuse, which was like Mythbusters with 50% less science and 50% more explosions. They didn't even try to be scientific or accurate: they just made fun of people and blew shit up. It was terrific.

You think it's going to stop when 2016 totters to a conclusion? Like 2017 is going to be all roses and prosecco? That's just adorable.

I sort of want to rewatch the first season of Sense8 now that a new one is coming in a month's time, but it was such a wildly erratic mess, which is to say a Wachowski production, that I don't think I can face it. Maybe if it were trimmed down into a tight six episodes. Those two just can't control their own impulses…

This is probably a lot funnier if you're a Newfoundlander, but: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I love that in that episode of The Flop House, Dan repeatedly called Trump "President Sex Criminal", which is how I am going to think of the man for the next four years or until his inevitable impeachment or heart attack, whichever comes first.

Does it weaken him, though? The last eighteen months have made it pretty clear that he can say anything and do anything and get away with it: there were ups and downs, but in the end, not one single thing stuck to him or diminished his appeal in any meaningful way. Right now, he could presumably use any racial or…

Stephen King wrote a story about that. Spoiler alert: it did not end well.

A great many people seem to think he's a musical genius, which may or may not be true, but one thing is for sure: he's a fuckin' idiot.

A lot of processed food should say that on the label.

Deprived childhood?

My husband does that. And we were at dinner with two other couples a while back, and one each of the other two couples also did it.

SIXTY-FOUR SLICES OF AMERICAN CHEESE.

I read that as "oatmeal crimes".

Pasta sauce, spooned straight out of the jar. Especially Classico Four Cheese. Mmmmmm.
