Upvoted for spot-on reference of YM.

Cheap shots at Ted Cruz are fine (and the author seems to be making that point, granted).

I figured the prevalence of cell phones would’ve put all this stuff to bed. Many years ago people used to speculate what kinds of photos would be taken if everyone walked around with a camera on them at all times. Well, now that that’s basically the case, we sure have a lot of interesting photos, but where are the…

Show me an Amber who’s not.

“Just reporting the rumor” might be one of the most ironic statements I’ve ever read.

For context, I’m a 43-year-old suburban dad who is on Facebook, where most of my “friends” (I’ll never stop putting them in quotes) are people of a similar age and circumstances, i.e., people I went to high school with, etc... the most common themes I see my “friends” posting about are family/kids, and their love for…

“Acid Dreams: The Complete Social History of LSD”

It may be all psychological, but to me the nuggets are not the same as the bone-in. There’s just something primally satisfying about eating them that way.

A few months ago I read his column promoting his new Donald Trump book... I can say without hesitation that it was one of the stupidest fucking columns I’ve ever read (it was up there with the one about the heroism of George W. Bush clearly inspiring “The Dark Knight”). It was the kind of thing where I (or pretty much…

“Dunkirk” is probably the best drowning movie I’ve ever seen. Seriously, it’s interesting how cinema has portrayed that primal fear throughout the ages, and Nolan upped the stakes considerably with several scenes (but yes, the one described in this article was the topper. If you saw “Dunkirk” in the theater without…

If the writer of the Tweet claiming to be Trump is the same lawyer who claimed to write a Tweet that was clearly from Trump, we may be approaching an event horizon of irony.

Over Thanksgiving I was told about the status of a friend of the family’s junior-high-aged daughter. She was bullied so badly she was pulled out of public school and homeschooled. From what I remember, some guy posted some stuff about her online, she and her parents went to the principal and the guy was suspended, but…

I recently saw “Roadhouse” after many years. The significance of the viewing was that it was a movie we saw a lot in high school and took seriously, so in re-watching it as an adult I realized how blatantly illogical it is... It’s like, the town has no law-enforcement apparatus in place? Even though the town has a…

There was a lot of teeth-gnashing in the days after the election about “The polls were wrong!”, but, for the most part they weren’t: A) Most every poll I remember had Clinton winning by 2-4 points, and she won by 2 points in the popular election, which is what those polls measured. B) People seem to forget that when…

A few days before the election I had occasion to drive through a neighborhood that I’d describe as mostly retirees with money, and it was yard after yard of Trump signs. It probably sounds cliched, but that was really my moment of realization, and it was pure fucking Twilight Zone.

There was an old Onion column I really liked. Tried to search for it recently but came up empty (too lazy to resume search now)...

*watches time trials on TV, cries into sausage pizza*

You’ve heard of “getting busy.” Well we’re a generation that gets Biz-zay!

I believe she was the subject of a worth-reading New Yorker piece a few years ago. Weirdest tidbit: while she was still a member of the church, she was reading “Infinite Jest” at the urging of a social media friend.
