I realize that this is not the place for sensible discussion, especially since I am an evil white, male, republican, hertrosexual, Trump supporter. BUT - I was friends with a man named Harry Bellaver. Harry was an actor with a long resume. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0068772/. He was in Miss Sadie Thompson with Rita…

Hi. I am a 1993 graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, MFA (Alex Baldwin was in my graduating class He brought Kazoos and a beach ball to graduation in Washington Square Park ).

Can we just reflect on the fact that a computer in 1990 with those specs, 12GB Ram, 128 GB storage was found in a tower that sat under the desk and a screen that took up half the desk.  Now it fits in your pocket!!!  

I thought it was racist to attack a person for their skin or hair color? Have the rules changed?

Tried to buy this.  Amazon says its not a real offer.  What is the deal?

Really? Faking a racial hate crime to stir up hate and anger, impune the President and his supporters as bigots and potentially cause a riot just to get a pay raise when you are already a One Percenter in your profession is not a big deal? Good to know.

Way to bury the Leede. The Museum is not honoring this guy, a private group is renting out the Museum as do many groups. The Museum makes money buy making their space available for Weddings, Parties and other such events. Obviously, someone should have checked, but I am sure that the party event office is not attached…

“Lowering the Bar to the White House”? Compared to whom? A “Community Organizer ”from Chicago (Obama), a peanut farmer from Georgia (Carter), an actor turned politician from California (Reagan), and a failed hat maker from Missouri (Truman) have all been President in the last 80 years. How is a businessman from Queens…

Yes, but those immigrants, and others, are also getting a ready made store, brand awareness and a national ad campaign. They also have training programs where they teach you how to make the product and run a store. Many of these immigrants come from countries where they do not eat deli sandwiches so they learn to make…

There was a team at MIT about 10 years ago when the citbike was starting in NYC and Boston.  They were working on a machine that was like a pez dispenser for helmets.  You put a helmet in the top, the machine cleaned the helmet and spit out a clean one at the bottom.  They were trying to make it work as a test program…

Not necessarily. It is actually normal for doctors to have offices in their homes. Where I grew up in the suburbs of New York City, there were many doctors, dentists and even accountants, who had split level homes with the office in the back of the house. Now, if you mean Mr. Cosby’s choice of that speciality for his…

The problem with this belief is that what was not publicly known at the time, remember no internet, was that Kennedy’s seat was higher then the front seats and tilted to allow the President to be seen by the crowd. Jim Garrison had no way of knowing that as the Secret Service did not, and still does not, disclose such…

Hi Matt: Are you familiar with the stories that came out ten years ago in the British press that revealed that the BBC’s TV detection trucks were just props to scare people into paying their license fees?

Hi Matt:

You are not destroying rain forest with your notebooks. That paper, and most paper, comes from recycled paper and managed forests that conserve trees for long term use. https://theconversation.com/is-the-paper-industry-getting-greener-five-questions-answered-76274

First, the US Constitution does not grant Congress the authority to interfere with state or local taxes. Each state has their own laws on how taxes are assessed. Some states have no income tax but high sales tax for example.

Wasn’t “Starkiller” the original name of the Skywalker family in Lucas’s original notes?

Hi David:
Great piece. I am surprised that you were able to stay that last two weeks and not get dragged out by security. Can you explain why you gave up a somewhat stable engineering job for a writing job at a website that might or might not exist in a year (Gawker, Gothamist, etc)?

I feel really lucky that I got to climb inside the great pyramid and walk in the Queens Chamber. Back in 1981 that was still possible if you went with a dept of antiquities guide. Ours was from the Cairo Museum. We climbed inside along a long ladder in a corridor that was only a few feet high. We arrived in the…

Well researched and well written, and not a single curse word or gratuitous attack on Donald Trump. I hope Gawker Media (or whatever they are called now does not fire you!. Seriously, great article!
