psst, he just graduated high school

I was forced to watch it as part of a group exercise in the hospital after a suicide attempt, and, I'll be damned if it didn't briefly replace depression with anger.

That's the first thing I always remember when people bring up The Stand. Was it a group of black people executing folks, or was he the only one?

Comedy Bing Bong has permanently altered my image of Bjork. To me she will be a shrill quasi-Nazi who hates Harris Wittels.

I went a bunch in high school, although they were pretty expensive - $20 a show or so. There was always a fair contingent of codgers; it was probably about 1/3 filled.

If there was a book that accurately represented high school self-consciously-clever kids' actual dialogue, I would a: recognize it as more realistic, and b: throw it into a trash compactor.

Yeah, the idea that what people consider "realistic dialogue" is necessarily any closer to how real people talk is very silly. Mamet is regularly praised for his realistic dialogue, but if people in real life talked like his characters they would all need speech therapists.

I have to admit: I've always been heavily biased against this show, mostly because my heavily conservative parents loved it, so for a long time I unreasonably assumed it was pro-Archie's positions. I really need to give it a less biased watch.

There was a time where I was a huge Feldman fan, and had, I believe, basically every recording of a Feldman piece available. And then I realized I couldn't really tell the difference between sixty percent of them.

I mean, with lines like "i can tell you how drama is caused by math and shit.?", he could be one of Badiou's disciples.

It feels like people are just trying to get a contact high off of that sweet sweet discrimination.

Ally is such a weird category. Was there a term for white people who supported the civil rights movement, or for men who supported the women's rights movement? I'm actually asking, I legit don't know. I do know that a lot of allies I know seem to be weirdly defensive and entitled of the title, as if it were like being…

Yeah, I don't know - I only watched the HBO show, so maybe he was edited to seem dumber, but I feel like there's some Being There happening here. Not only is most of what he has to say not particularly clever, he's, from what I remember, a bit of a fascist, specifically re:the old and sick.

Between this and the Hate Song, this is sure not a good day for those PC thugs!

… Fair.

"Okay, that’s not true and doesn’t really make any sense, but who can resist a Yakov Smirnoff joke?"

Denton is a medium-sized town, but it actually has a pretty sizable musician emigrant list: Sly Stone, Nora Jones, Roy Orbison, Meat Loaf, the Polyphonic Spree, Neon Indian…

I couldn't handle a Todd Glass podcast on a weekly basis - he'd just drive me nuts - but that was the greatest two hours of podcasting history. I love how defensive he got, constantly.

But then they have the second list of three names, so there would have been plenty of time. I know this is a completely silly thing to think about for this much, but it just seems odd.

Yes, that's why I said it was a curious choice, because it's not going with the rule of three and it doesn't seem to me to be really subverting it, really.
