Somehow I enjoy spy stories that demonstrate how spycraft harms everyone involved. (See also: John le Carré.) It's an odd contradiction: it's appealing because of its lack of appeal.

I enjoyed the Taste Test video. It's hilarious how people keep accidentally saying "goodbye" when drinking unfamiliar things.

The cousins are all right. Tyler's the one I don't trust.

Anne in Cannes falls manly on the plan.

Hitler's dog has no nose.

I think this is ultimately good for Chuck. He'll be forced to admit that his disease is mental and then get proper treatment for it.

James Gandolfini wanted to lose weight when he was filming The Sopranos, but David Chase convinced him Tony Soprano wouldn't make sense if he weren't fat. Then Gandolfini died of a heart attack a few years later. Damn you, Chase!

I hate Bananagrams.

I have to believe it was real because Kevin wouldn't know about the non-Garvey Kevin.

Oh good, I don't have to read the other thing. It seemed unpleasant.

Perhaps we should extend this to the party that lost elections because of the electoral college twice and still isn't interested in changing it. Instead of fixing it so we wouldn't end up with another jackass who got a minority of votes, they blamed Ralph Nader.

What I really wanted was to express all these thoughts so they wouldn't keep bouncing around in my head and driving me crazy.

I certainly don't feel like I'm being selfish. I think the selfish thing would be to give up on my ideals and vote for whoever will get the least people around me angry (or just not talk about it).

I keep getting into this argument and I'm amazed every time. Being an anti-vaxxer is the same thing as wanting their votes? What? How can you believe that?

Okay, see, this is another reason I can't support the Democratic Party. Stein has repeatedly made it clear that she's in favor of vaccines, but it doesn't matter. Lots of people still think she's an anti-vaxxer. She could make it her life's work to educate people about how good vaccines are, but the narrative would…

I watched Maria Bamford's special Old Baby and it was good. The concept of having a steadily increasing audience was interesting. I noticed that the layout of the pins at the bowling alley—

—fit with the theme. I wonder if that was intentional.

Maybe CBS's censors thought a cockholster is where you keep your rooster when you want to take it into town.

That's cool. I wish I could give up Twitter, mostly because it malfunctions a lot and doesn't show me everything; I'd rather have no picture than an incomplete picture. I also kind of want to give up The AV Club so I don't have to randomly come across comments hoping I lose access to health care because I didn't…

Well, I think Governed By Contagions is great. In fact, I think I'll listen to it again! https://www.youtube.com/wat…

My, what a big D you have.
