This is Murray's explanation of Garfield from his Reddit AMA:

Even in the wake of the McConnaissance?!??!

Leah? Really?

I'm gonna start dropping F-bombs. Listen to this: Fart you, fart head. Go fart yourself.

And people say she's just a big pair of tits!

Thank you for articulating my gut level understanding of the song better than I've been able to.

That's a perfectly legitimate article. It's criticizing Cole Alexander's views for being in themselves racist. I happen to agree with that view. Though the writer could've done a bit of research - Lorde actually loves Drake's music. She has never called it irrelevant, in fact she named his album as her favorite of…

Some of the things he says are almost word for word exactly the same thing I hear from young white musician friends of mine that grew up in the same wealthy suburbs as I did. I respect the opinion that Lorde's voice sounds affected, or that rappers that are "more ghetto and ratchet sounding" tend to be better music (I…

Ah so they are doubling down on the only decent thing in Prometheus (outside of the abortion scene). Good.

Try A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan. Some parts of it are set in the recent past and near future but overall it definitely fits in the mode you're talking about. Won the Pulitzer in 2010. (As a sidenote, are immigrants not a part of contemporary, everyday life in the U.S.? Or are you just saying you would…

Phil Dyess-Nugent is far less qualified to write a brief news item about DFW than Jason Segal is to play DFW. Would that the AVClub's brain trust give this useless writer the good boot…

Yeah the author of this piece is full of shit. He wore that thing all the time. It wasn't just for Charlie Rose.

Even though I agree with the general points made in the article, I agree that the writing was sort of bad and bitchy not even in the sometimes fun sometimes annoying way that the New Yorker or other high culture magazines can be bitchy. As a writer, his mind seems to be largely governed by cliches.

He was great in Richard III and Mamet's Speed the Plow (saw both of them at the Old Vic), but his screen work has been pretty dismal ever since he won that second Oscar. I was so excited for House of Cards since it looked like he was finally going to do something decent on screen again, and then it turned out to be…

It strikes me as highly obnoxious that someone would read a career retrospective on an actor and assume the article would not discuss the content of that actor's career in specific detail. In other words, spoiler warnings are for dumb people.

Is it worth it to point out that the ACA is not socialized medicine?

On hearing this news, my valve closed off entirely. You may expect to receive some rather staggering medical bills each month. My corps of attorneys will contact you in the morning wherever it is that you carry on your questionable activities.

"If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you'd have invented Facebook." Oh playwrights gone Hollywood you are too clever for your own good…

Anhedonia is not an odd neurological condition, it's a pretty common form of depression if I'm not mistaken. Of course his description of psychotic depression is the more memorable part of that section of the book, with the burning building metaphor and all.

Crosby, Stills, & Nash's cover of "Woodstock" by Joni Mitchell should make the list. I believe it's their highest charting single at #11 on Billboard.
