I live in the NY Capital District and the local paper has been reporting on NXIVM for close to twenty years. All I can say is that none of this is a shock. State Police have shown a disinterest in investigating the cult for years, and it really in only the last year or so with the sex aspect of this story that anybody…

My daughter’s school has a class that all seniors take called “Participation in Government”. (It’s referred to as PIG. Take that for what it’s worth.) As part of PIG, they are required to do community service, and essentially it’s free labor for the local town, with the town using the kids to help run events like the…

I live in Upstate NY and I get subjected to Yankee’s radio broadcasts on the local sports station. I am not a Yankee’s fan. I can’t listen to Sterling and Waldman for more than half an inning before I have to change the station. And I will not ever listen to either their pre or post game segments.

Maybe John Sterling thinks Italian culture is close enough to Hispanic culture.

I shelve books at my local library and one day, as I was shelving one of his books, I thought I’d flip through it. The part I read was about his purchase of the Taj Mahal and his dealings with Merv Griffin. It was one of the most self-serving pieces of shit I’ve ever read. (For example, he says he’s not a litigous…

I was a total nerd growing up, still am. The only show that came anywhere close to being realisitc as to what a nerd like me really was was Freaks & Geeks. Not any other “nerds” on TV, and certainly not Big Bang Theory.

Never forget that “Fearless Girl” is the corporate response to the guerilla art that is “Charging Bull”.

He’s going to roll over like an Suzuki Swift.

Full disclosure: I’m white.

I don’t know. I’m thinking you should be boycotting Philly, and probably the entire state of Pennsylvania, instead. It’s generally pretty damn racist there.

Up the Shrews!

I’m going to assume that somehow the Mav’s are eliminated from being a possibilty, because that otherwise has Mark Cuban written all over it.

While I’m not going to give the police that much credit, they had to know the man was lying because it’s Spotsylvania County, VA and they weren’t in the city of Fredericksburgh, so the likelihood of two black men happening to be in the same area is nearly 0%.

I REALLY want to support Tesla. I’m all for electric cars, autonomous cars, etc. And I’m all for corporations who challenge the status quo. But damn it, Tesla is just flat out crazy and at this point I truly hope they become an utter failure. And Elon Musk needs to just go live in a bunker somewhere.

Somewhat ironically, England’s two best keepers are both on teams that are, in all likelihood, going to be relegated.

It’s not much to look at now, and the film certainly isn’t that great, but the opening credits to The Black Hole. Another one that’s great, Labyrinth.

Hah. Don’t make me laugh. Newcastle, where the owner insists on running the club cheaply like his discount sporting goods company.

We would have had electric cars since the 80's if Big Oil hadn’t bought off the car companies to not develop cars powered by alternative power sources.

It’s amazing what dirty oil money will buy you.
