Did I say it was a new or novel thing? No. All I'm saying is a gay celebrity is hardly the first choice for executives when it comes to talk shows and those that do have talk shows like Neil's Variety Show or the Anderson Cooper Show tend to fail badly. I want a gay celebrity in a successful talk show that can…

Point taken. I'm just saying it would be nice to have a gay celebrity on an otherwise mediocre morning talk show. You know, progress and stuff.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. He has some really shitty opinions on things, acts like a gamergater/MRA/anti-vax/conspiracy theorist. Hardly the first person I would choose for Live. Why not Neil Patrick Harris tho?

Wait. I thought Rob Lowe was fairly problematic on Twitter? That kinda seems antithetical to Live's squeaky clean reputation.

Good to see you're listening to Pia Fraus. I'm mostly useless at everything but at least I'm great when it comes to shoegaze.

I'm so sad right now. I can't believe it. I hardly knew her and yet it hurts just as much. To lose any great member is such a blow, a shock to the senses. May the AVC Gods grant her peace. My heart goes out to everyone that knew her well.

Um let's see. I watched a couple of Naruto Shippuden DVD sets, Volumes 12 and 13 on Friday. Friday night, most of Saturday et al I played Dead or Alive 4 and Tekken Tag Tournament II to satiate my need for 3D fighters and basically got my ass handed to me numerous times by the counter-happy computer on DOA4. But still…

Oh boy, this sounds like a hot take to me! Wait scratch that, maybe a mild take? A lukewarm take? Are we approaching ice age levels of takery yet? Do you bleed Buzzfeed, Great Job Internet? YOU WILL.

I'd like a [Hemmingway] Daiquiri, garcon. Hold the Guevara.

Yeah lol I don't like to tell people how expensive Chartreuse usually is because it tends to scare them off. The place I buy it from usually charges $75 and my eyes just roll but it's a necessary evil because there's truly nothing out there that can replicate the herbal intensity of Green Chatreuse and is so important…

Nice. I have a huge soft spot for orange bitters. My current favorite is Regan's, it has a pure orange taste perfect for a martini without that chalky orange medicine taste of an inferior product. Oh and if you ever have a chance to get any grapefruit bitters, I highly recommend you do so. It's a wonderful bitter to…

This sounds absolutely delicious. How are the Scrappy's bitters particularly the old bitters?

Ol Dik's been slacking lately, so I decided to proverbially pick up the slack from one ginhound to another. I COULD NOT ABIDE WITHOUT A BOOZE THREAD LAWD HELP ME.

I'm kinda surprised that Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know hasn't reached 1 billion views yet. It's close to 800 million and yet that number feels awfully stagnant to me in the past couple of years. Funny how that happens.

I'm an unredeemable hipster and am no longer afraid to slide into your DMs.
