We didn't get anything [from our parents], we had to get a job if we wanted it.

"I saved up for this Dolce and Gabbana dress" is where I pick up the torch and the fork, and get Robespierrian on the ruling class.

They'll wonder why it took us so long to cast Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner.

I know some people make much higher salaries than that right out of school. But the unemployment rate for young people is still very high. So I would bet $30,000 is close to the average.

That's great! I am trying to save $50/week, which would come to around $2,600/year, but honestly I'm not optimistic. I have a lot of health and dental problems, so it seems like any money I save winds up going to medical costs, even now that I have insurance.

Can we just save time and give Keaton the Oscar now?

Pyramids were built by ancient Africans. Yes, they were black, yes they were advanced. That is all.

Right? The cheap knockoff is modeling the cheap knockoffs.

Iggy Azalea is repping disposable fashion that cribs from more talented designers but the youths inexplicably love. Perfect!

Great choice. A perfectly executed short story. I would pair this with "The Ones who walk away from Omelas".

The third one is also disappointing. There is nothing as wonderful as how the original begins and ends.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon. Gripped me from the moment I started reading it, and in some ways redefined and enhanced my already existing appreciation for all works of genre fiction.
