In their defense, it’s for charity. The American Caprophagy Association is looking for a cure.

Point well taken, although NB has the awfulness of a major metropolis. Just a fucking nightmare town.

Clearly you’ve never been to Newport Beach, California. It’s where white people go to smother good taste and good behavior under mountains of money.

What’s doing it, the unhinged Republican in the White House? The threat of nuclear annihilation? The dire economic position of the American working class? The terrifying Russian boogeyman?

Yup, every bit of the respect and historical fidelity he brought to bear with the serial killer dinner party in Hotel.

We’ve got a trip to London and Paris in our future, so I’ve been watching the fun and informative videos Geoff Marshall made for Londonist about the history and trivia of London’s transport infrastructure. He did a series on the various tube lines, another on the canals, and a few about abandoned stations of the…

Who, honestly, could possibly give a shit about the opinion of someone so out of touch with what people actually care about that he intends to make 4 sequels to a movie most of us think of as a rip-off of Dances With Wolves? James Cameron is well past his use-by date.

So he’s always looked like someone I wouldn’t want to spend any time around, just in different ways.

No Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid? Come on.

At least the move to Kinja eliminated the comments on that Joss Whedon story. I don't know if I'd ever seen it get so toxic as it got there.

Or a way of collecting easy clicks.

Who knew, or cared, that there's a St Louis style pizza?

I mentioned it somewhere last week, but while I took a lot of pleasure and, frankly, comfort from having a lot of smart, snarky people watch the current administration prove itself too incompetent to do the evil things it wants to, I can't talk about it 24/7.

You know, I've only been coming around for about 2 years, but even in that time I've seen a drastic drop-off in quality. It seems there was more and more GJI every day, and for fuck's sake, think pieces about terrible Midwestern food instead of original writing.

I started to listen to Iannis Xenakis, a modern classical music composer thanks to something IV wrote a few months back. I like it, because it's utterly unlike anything I'd ever heard before.
