The banality of evil, as Arendt (and that NPC from No One Lives Forever) said.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I don’t mean to date myself buy I saw this movie when I was under 10 and that line singlehandedly taught me how evil actually works. If one cared that much about all the evil they did they would be too busy sobbing to be evil enough to do that much evil.

Stewart explained that the show’s much-publicized Republican National Convention live shows in Milwaukee were canceled due to increased security as a result of the assassination attempt.

It’s a dumb little ritual we need to go through at the start of games

Say what you will about how diet and fitness have evolved over time, but Richard Simmons was the rare gem that actually gave a crap about actually helping folks get healthy and happy.

Looks like somebody needs robot insurance.

I long ago came down on the side of not blaming people for using family connections, provided they can actually deliver on their own merits. There just aren’t that many people who get by professionally for life on the basis of their parents.  Subsist, hang around the edges?  Sure. 

When Mia Farrow hears about this she’s going to start adopting kids just to keep up.

I knew an accountant who was over it by like... 28 years old.

Like Bay Area rapping legend Too $hort, who “retired” with his tenth album in 1996 and then went on to release 11 more, not including collaborations, over the past 30 years.

While I certainly don’t feel sorry for her, it’s undeniable she’s been put through the ringer, both for things that were outside of her control as well as for her own flaws and shortcomings.

The Libby app can be your best friend. Library books, even for Kindle, are F-R-E-E.

Friends would have been a lot better had they attended a Cannibal Corpse concert.

Millions of people are going to hear James Dean read that fanfic where Iron Man gets it on with three of the Doctor Whos.
