He's the god of projection—everything he's accused others of, he's proven himself to have done. He's a bundle of insecurities that make themselves manifest in the targets he chooses. It's so transparent and so tragically predictable—not to mention terrifying.

The only thing better than watching someone eat pavement in Dark Souls is watching them proceed so cautiously that you, on your NG++++, can't sit still. I was watching a friend play 2 yesterday, and he would check every corner like it was Silent Hill.

Just want to say that these never fail to make me laugh. You're doing good work here.

"You're in Canada—speak Canadian!"

I always thought that was more the takeaway of his junior year disciples, bless 'em.

The way that man can bray burns my britches.

There is! In fact, they're just singing "ja, ja, ja, ja." Good catch.

Picturing Biden taking off his Medal of Freedom and hanging it from the rearview mirror as he peels out. That's the image I'm taking away from the Obama administration.

Hypocrisy of the highest order, yeah. It's all culminated in Trump, the gaslighting President. Dude can just say "I didn't say that. I didn't." after video of him saying whatever, and it dies on the vine. Same thing with McConnell—no one cares to call him out on his hypocrisy.

<lanakane>Yuuuup!</lanakane> My niece and nephew are a little young yet, but the next decade outta be fun.

I can't even articulate how furious I am at the way that the Republicans, led by McConnell, ratfucked us out of one of the most vital and stable functions of the Presidency. It's unconscionable, sincerely. Obama sending up Garland as a sop to Cerberus, only to have that turned down, was the moment where I went full…

Fun book—I loaned it out to a friend midway through and it disappeared, so I need to check it out.

Thank you for the recommendations!

Ooh, I forgot: two decent beers with beautiful names—"Red 5, Standing By" red ale and the simple and lovely "Stupid" Flanders ale. I'm declaring that last one an A. V. Club Drink.

400 Executive Orders, including three declaring Cheap Trick to be America's official band.

Being an uncle owns! You get to bring them the noisiest and most desirable presents, then get out before the repetition and decibel level crush you. All the benefits of watching them grow up with none of the heartbreaks. Congratulations!

Magnolia Electric Co.'s Trials and Errors—shit cooks.

I went the opposite way—I've been too down lately, so I've cut out the depressants—but I've marked down Saturday as a "me day." I'm touring some breweries and going to a house show, because I'll be damned if I let Trump take away the things I love.

Yeah, it's antithetical to Obama's "America is a country of decorum and optimism" attitude, but it would be so great. Love the dude's ability to soar above the fray, but a final, beautiful "fuck you" on your way out the door is never amiss, especially if it leads to increased Bidenry.

Heh, "I’m pretty sure Neil Young put out an album or two that went unpurchased, for reasons that make sense even, or perhaps especially, to fellow Neil Young fans." Good and comprehensive lists here—a lot of albums I haven't heard yet, so I'm looking forward to diving in—and good writing. Big fan of your top ten, and…
