The reunion albums sort of run together, so I'm assuming 2wice is on The Obliterati because that is far and away their best post-reunion song. But really, you just need Vs. and Signals, Calls, and Marches.

McClusky Do Dallas is probably my most played album. It is so great.

That's the part that truly tears me up. The idea of having to stay strong and be a rock for your young daughter almost deprives you of the chance to fully grieve. You have to keep parenting and make sure this other person is okay first.

Patton's long been one of my favorite comics because we're geeks of the same age from close to the same place. I relate to his comedy more than I would like to admit. I lost my father at a youngish age and my child is about to have a serious surgery that is keeping me and the Posette up at night… and I still cannot…

I honestly dislike this style of essay: promoting one film by tearing another down. Lilo and Stitch is an underrated gem, though it has some serious flaws (hand waving half the plot away doesn't erase half of the movie). But I'm not more inclined to agree with that position by tearing down Frozen, which I know we're…

A true shame, because Alien Encounter was a genuinely scary Disney ride. Also, extremely dark for the park, as in some of the seats you not only had the alien breathing on the back of your neck and then licking it, you could be under one of the dead bodies above, and have blood drip on you.

I never liked your spinach puffs.

I love their new record.

Jesus, this article was dark. I'm gonna go watch Requiem for a Dream to cheer myself up.

I was playing Youth and Young Manhood in my car and the Posette wouldn't believe me that it was the same Kings of Leon. What happened to them?

Oh, I still love Clerks. It came out when I was exactly at that point in my life, too, and I related to a lot of the free-floating ennui. The problem with Clerks 2 is that instead of making that a brief period of "what do I want to do with my life?" aimlessness, it made that complete lack of ambition a core character…

I think he progressed in his first few films. From Clerks to Chasing Amy to Dogma, there's some growth as a person and a filmmaker. When Dogma bombed, I think that's when he stopped even trying to grow, and now he's regressing so horribly that it makes me feel bad for him.

My wife's a teacher. She has too many kids to make crap up about one of them. There is a happy medium, but the default should be to trust the teachers. Kids are lying liars who lie a lot. I know I was.

I thought the Grief Counselor line was particularly odd. When I was in middle school, one of the students killed himself. No one really mentioned it, and they certainly didn't bring in counselors in.

In a way, he is. I don't watch a ton of late night, but when I do, it is either Fallon or Colbert, depending on my mood. When I want goofy fun and a guy who unironically enjoys things, I go to Fallon. and it's a genuinely enjoyable experience. When I want to bitterly laugh at the state of the world, I go to Colbert…

To be honest, one of Trump's problem is he's not crazy enough. Or, more accurately, in the right ways. The evangelicals didn't even get a speaker at the convention, and now they got to listen to him talk about how gays are okay? My bible thumper relatives and co-workers are furious.

That finish was just beautiful. I even like that he cites the Founders and what they actually said. It was like the grey sky cracking, and the sun pouring in.

Jesus.

The chapter of Them in which the two "infiltrate" Bohemian Grove is one of the funniest things I have ever read. Jones is essentially a lunatic rolling in the bushes while Ronson enjoys a free show with people he identifies with.

The only good thing about Trump is that he prevented a Cruz presidency. Cruz is just as evil as Trump, only more politically competent. He's the worse option.
