If he's 'beloved' by anyone, it ain't me.

1) Being in a room with my most beloved writers, musicians, and actors, except they're all telling racist jokes and talking about how Ayn Rand "really makes a lot of sense."

It's my Ayatollah's Choice of weighing interesting concept versus perception of its guiding hand.

Well, I only know like 20 people, so I figure my odds are pretty good.

#THANKSOBAMA

This probably makes me sound like a sociopath, but am I the only one who doesn't buy the idea that society would crumble as much as the book and show suggest if something like this actually happened? One out of fifty people sounds like something humanity could get through, apocalypse-wise. Probably a dumb thing to…

Albums named X power rankings

Hmm…the URL doesn't say Buzzfeed, but…

Maybe she and Boris traded album titles as a prank?

I think you're ascribing an objectivity to art criticism that doesn't really exist. Critics are hopefully more eloquent and knowledgeable than the average fan, but they still have music they just like and don't like and nothing's going to change their mind, and usually the fans of that music like it for the very…

In any other crowd, the women tend to be more attracted to me

You'd think there would be some room out there for summer blockbusters that weren't synonymous with '150-minute all-out sensory assault' but the evidence suggests there isn't.

Watch for the gritty franchise reboot 10 years from now, the People vs. J.J. Abrams.

Painter of Blood (tm).

I'll go with Strong Bad being eternally stuck in the late 80's in terms of music/technology/slang on Homestar Runner.

It's late, but I'll chime in that I wouldn't trade my English degree in for something practical. I love reading, I love writing, I love philosophy, and I'm glad I got to share that with people who feel the same for four years, even if it comes back to bite me later. (Also I went to a state school on a bunch of…

Yeah, I noticed that too. They talk to people from Harvard and Columbia! Country and Western. I assume someone who goes to a community college or smaller state school has a better chance leaving with less debt and paying it off quicker.

It feels like a lawyer with a clearly guilty client winning on a technicality. Clever, yes. Ballsy, sure. And they're just doing their jobs. But that doesn't mean that I as an observer have to be satisfied with the outcome. I understand what a lot of modern and postmodern artists were trying to do intellectually, but…
