The world is turning into a cesspool of imbeciles.

Yes. It has told its story, and worn out its welcome.

Racing on them, as we all know people do, and which Initial D glamourised, is incredibly, profoundly, demonstrably stupid.

Wow. A lot of fanfiction featuring Spock sodomizing Kirk is going to be saved for posterity. Awesome.

Don't know if you caught this one, but on NPR there was a story about a 56-year-old man who was getting a master’s degree from George Washington University. At the same time, two of his children were also getting their master’s degrees, and a third was getting her bachelor’s, all from the same university as their…

But if we just took a picture of the animal individually, we wouldn’t get to smear a bit of their majesty and beauty onto ourselves! Now excuse me while I go stand in front of Vermeer’s Woman In Blue and use my phone to take a selfie. As one should.

I know my last post was also about Harlan Ellison, but everything he says is a total gem! Here is how he responds to criticism of not what he writes, but where he chooses to publish it:

Harlan Ellison wrote to Locus once in the aftermath of a failed Odyssey workshop where the participants made Gene Wolfe leave because he wasn’t nice enough in his critiques of their writing. Anyone who knows anything about Harlan Ellison knows that if he had been there, they’d have gotten much harsher criticism, and…

“ ...you don’t discipline someone else’s kid. EVER. That’s the fucking breaks. Its shitty, and other people’s children are invariably terrible and the spawn of satan. That’s not an OPINION, that’s a known fucking fact. But you can’t yell at them. You just can’t.”

She was sensitive. She calmly removed the kid’s hand, and she only piped-up because the parent didn’t seem to display a scintilla of insight as to why having the kid’s fingers in her plate might be undesirable.

Kids aren’t make of glass. Let this one feel a consequence, I say.

So, the real issue here is not children in restaurants. The real issue here is: Should other people be allowed to apply appropriate discipline to YOUR young children?

*Goes limp with bliss*

I know getting steady, paying work is tough for writers, but hot damn, how Oda could be as creative as he is, yet find contentment in a golden cage for so long is unfathomable.

People love Batman for the same reason they love Wolverine: He’s a good-guy who acts indistinguishibly from a bad-guy. Batman vs Superman will always be interesting to people for the exact reason it’s so stupid... Because Superman is insanely powerful. The very premise, ludicrous as it is, convinces people that they…

Yet paridoxically, he couldn’t beat Birdman.

Surely it isn’t just hypocrites that enjoy adultery....

Son, you can fellate a hundred men, but defecate under just one bridge, and you’ll always be known as a Bridge-pooper.

It’s a movie called “Rita, Sue, and Bob, Too.”

Oh, we can do better. Let me try!
