He's good, I'm surprised i haven't seen him in anything since Zero Dark Thirty.

I think on the Brown case, people were a lot more divided, because so much of what we know about it relied on witness testimony and Wilson's, which we didn't hear until after the grand jury decision. On Garner, we can all see what happened in the video. And I guess the question is this: if I do something illegal and…

I saw one guy on Gawker earlier try to start with the whole 'well, yeah, this is tragic, but if people would just stop resisting arrest...' He got like 100 replies, pretty much all saying the same thing: you're wrong.

I think the most telling part is the alleged quote from Zuck. I think that's really how gun nuts think the rest of us talk.

here's the deal, there's a social contract regarding making fun of finance bros: they get to make stupid amounts of money and act all American Psycho, and we get to make fun of them. Just how it is.

Yeah, I can't un-see this now. Dammit.

seriously, there are some very good looking genes in that family.

it's basically pecan pie without the pecans, and it's pretty awesome. Too much sugar, some might say, but it gets cold as fuck in Quebec. I'm not sure how cold means you should eat a pie almost entirely made from sugar, but it tastes good, so why argue? Also, in Quebec they tend to serve it with champagne.

this is a real problem in this country. We have all of these people getting up every morning and doing work that we're all dependent on to eat, travel safely, do just about anything, and yet we can't seem to get it together to pay them properly. There's a sort of social contract there, and one side of that contract is…

good news! 2013 was a very good vintage. Enjoy.

it's not a scam, they do this for everyone. In Italy you will see 'pane e coperto' (bread and cover) on your bill, it's basically a way to cover overhead costs by adding a small charge to every bill. But you also don't tip, so there is that.

That was a poor choice of words, wasn't it? I would never actually say that to her. I just meant that I know she's not dumb, therefore I wouldn't want to see anyone else arrive at that conclusion based on something she said.

I have had (and still have) the texture problem with a number of foods, but I would offer you encouragement on this, don't give up! For example: clams. I used to not be able to eat them. Visited Italy, had clams there, they were amazing. Mushrooms: France set me straight on those. I can't explain how or why they were…

Spot on. His book On Writing is legendary.

oh no, am I horrible? I correct my wife occasionally when she uses words/phrases incorrectly, but I try to do it as politely as possible, and I genuinely, sincerely only do it because I don't want her to be seen as ignorant by others in her working life. I hope she doesn't resent me for this, I really do love her to…

careful with the Ayn Rand one though, I have a few of her books on my shelf, read them in high school and I think they're ridiculous, still have them, though.

I found it hilarious that he thought it was so special that the place had a bulletin board full of business cards...like every diner ever built.

JJJ is one of the things I miss the most about living in Australia.

seriously, how scared do you think the cable companies are right now? This thing is going to read like an obituary to them.
