If it’s made like other vodkas it probably tastes exactly the same.

What about Tom Brady is swarthy? He looks pretty pale and hairless to me.

I’d never even heard of a pivot to video before I clicked on this godforsaken post in my RSS feed.

Oh no, now even Deadspin is doing video content.

People in the DMV sure do love double parking.

It’s the Kevin Smith one. That’s the worst tweet of all time.

I’m in favor of the time ceasing to change twice a year. It’s stupid. It’s unfortunate that Florida gets to be on the right side of this one, but sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar eats you.

What is this show and why is half of your RSS feed today about it?

I’m a white man, and I’m not angry. I say this not to be some sort of #notallwhitemen idiot, but rather to say that it’s possible to raise white men not to be angry. I wish we could figure out how to make it so none of us is angry, or if we are angry to be angry at the right people (the ruling class) rather than the…

Most of the endowments at wealthy schools like Harvard are earmarked for specific purposes. It isn’t just a general slush fund. When Angus T. Picklefeathers gives 50 million to endow a chair of fart science, the money (actually the earnings from that money) can only be spent on the salary, benefits, etc. of that…

As long as we’re fantasizing, let’s imagine a total post-scarcity society (I think both The Jetsons and Star Trek count), and then the point is moot, because we’re living in beautiful enlightened communism, not doing anything we don’t want to do :)

I’d be happy to use an hour or two a week of all that time on cleaning the house. Or, to live somewhere cheap and commute instantaneously hundreds of…

Give me a break. The transporter and replicator would revolutionize our lives much more than a maid, which is a profession that already exists.

But getting rid of the time change is actually a good idea.

This take is so perfect I wish I could marry it. You are just so right, my dude. The gate check is a wonderful thing.

Absolutely agree 100%.

I used to go to Fette Sau back when I both lived in Brooklyn and ate meat. Their stuff was really really good, if also outrageously expensive and outrageously pretentious. So, Brooklyn.

I know this is the Hater’s Guide, but I actually liked most of these movies, so this didn’t have quite the same impact on me as usual.

I think we’re at a point where the Oscars have ceased to control the conversation. What’s exciting is that there are, in real time, discussions going on about what the Oscars miss, their biases (racial, gendered, national, other), and all this. They serve as a great jumping-off point for any number of discussions of…
