I've learned my lesson about assuming Trump has finally hit rock bottom, after mistakenly believing he had done so on about a dozen different occasions over the past year. I long for the innocent days when I thought implying that the bulk of Mexican immigrants were rapists and drug dealers was as low as he could go.…

You don't take psychedelics for the purpose of getting fucked up (I mean you can, but you'd be doing it wrong). A good trip can trigger life-changing epiphanies and have incredible therapeutic value. LSD in particular has a tendency to dispel the fog of ego and allow users to see themselves with a degree of…

I had to set up a tent on LSD once. It wasn't hard, but it felt very consequential.

Will Tetris Attack ever get its due as the best Tetris-related title ever released? I loved that game so much.

According to my wife, this movie was the cornerstone of her dawning sense of sexual awareness as a kid. She still loves the soundtrack and will watch literally anything with Leonardo DiCaprio to this day.

I've noticed that Trump speaks with a very limited, imprecise vocabulary and that his sentences often don't make basic grammatical sense. And the scary thing is that I can't tell if this is an honest deficiency or an insidious rhetorical tactic (maybe both?). I mean, as a sentence, the phrase "Although the Second…

You are completely insane and everyone is right to call you out on this. No semi-educated person is worried about abortion being banned outright any time in the near future. People are concerned about state-level restrictions that leave abortion technically legal, but largely inaccessible in practice. This is…

I can't count the number of times I've thought Trump finally hit rock bottom, only to be proven wrong about a week a later. I miss the days when I thought that bragging about his dick in a primary debate was as low as he could go.

They're both extremely good, but there are very, very few bands that I would ever say are better than Joy Division. Velvet Underground, The Beatles, shit like that.

She's not talking about women who personally chose not to have an abortion, she's talking about people who think women shouldn't get a choice.

Here's a tip on the duck team: only the one with the chainsaw (the one that leads) is vulnerable. While the gun guy can take out enemies from a distance, he's even more valuable as a noisemaker, shooting off a round to lure nearby enemies into the room where you can chop them up as they come in.

Yeah, there's one of those on the way to him. I really like the No-Man's Wharf section, it's the first Dark Souls area besides maybe Sen's Fortress that actually feels like a mission.

Well, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin finally clicked. I still think the first Dark Souls is clearly the superior game, but I've realized that the best way to think about it is this: Dark Souls is like a great band's masterpiece album, and Dark Souls 2 is like a collection of B-sides from the same sessions. It…

I dunno, it seems a little closer to Mussolini's playbook to me.

Cass McCombs is insanely underrated indeed. He has that kind of low-key weirdness that doesn't really jump out on a first listen, and he has such a knack for putting the right words over the right melody in a way that amplifies the effect of both. Also one of the best shows I've seen in recent years.

Like the judge who ordered Trump to stand trial for defrauding people out of thousands through his "Trump University" scam, yet another of his many failed business ventures? I heard he was a hater.

If you were really keeping up with Trump's bullshit you'd know that now the election will be rigged against him, according to himself.

I don't think there's a mechanism to do that. At this point, Trump would have to voluntarily drop out before he could be replaced.

The fact that it's even possible to debate this is concerning enough.

Mark my words , if Trump were really as rich as he claims, we'd have seen his tax returns long ago. He has never passed up an opportunity to flaunt his wealth in his life. The tax returns either prove it's all a facade, or contain evidence of dealings too shady even for Donald to want people to know about. This guy…
