It’s a big beautiful world with room for all sorts of views, I suppose! I really enjoy a nice self-aware over-the-top writing style and I genuinely envy Rich’s ability to summon up such belligerence for Trolls soundtracks and summer shark-movie protagonists.

I’m frighteningly old (40!) and so I normally try to find new music by sporadically typing “woh soudns liek pavement still makign music?” into my Google machine*. I too got into Wye Oak because of their Kate Bush cover and am now a fan.

Even though I almost never give a shit about the same things he gives a shit about, Juzwiak is the best pure writer around here and he kind of makes me give a shit about, for example, the Trolls soundtrack.

Isn’t this great, folks? Isn’t this just the best? I’m happy that this very smart but friendless man who didn’t show up for work a lot has the chance to endorse me. We are gonna make America great and maybe Ted can finally wash some of the blood off his hands from when his father killed JFK. I’m really happy for Ted…

Jade Helm 15, baby. Jade Helm 15.

Well thank god for that!

Agreed. I thought his non-dorsement at the convention was fucking brilliant because he’d be able to say, in 2020 “Hey, remember how I wouldn’t get on board with the large orange asshole who almost sank your party?” That move reminded me of Nixon--who did the equally ballsy but opposite move of endorsing Goldwater in…

These dude is like the Kaiser Soze of humiliation-fiend masochistic worms. He has the will to do what the other guy never would. I’m convinced I will see President Cruz inaugurated during my lifetime.

Not hardly. The Gnostics were totally gonna Konami Code their way out of the simulacrum and into aeternal bliss.

Cop: Sir you have to drop your weapon!

I’m so so sorry for you and for everyone who loves her.

One thing I have learned from doing family sessions with the kids I work with and their (often horrible, always fucked up) families is that I can have every person present, hear every side of every story, interact with everyone, and still walk out not really knowing what is true or false when it comes to physical…

S/he’s a shitty troll who stumbled on the world’s easiest way to tweak people/divide well meaning people. This happens to be an issue where going in with a lazy troll is fucking deplorable, of course.

Matt Taibbi once pied a dude from the NYT with a home baked horse semen pie. Taibbi was classy AF back in the day.

I’m not sure I’ve ever actually heard “huckster” applied to any P.O.C. In my mind it definitely has connotes a corpulent, shrewd-but-lazy white dude. For the past 12 months or so I have applied it almost exclusively to Mr. Trump.

I’ve been a fan of Buckethead since he helped found Praxis back in the early 90s. Even started a fanzine for the group.

When I read Infinite Jest, I read the main body of the work in H Jon Benjamin’s voice but then the footnotes I hear in Norm’s voice.

They are *Incredibly* cute together doing the commentary tracks for the first three seasons, too. Never listened to any after that, and as the show wore on I got the idea that Dule Hill was becoming increasingly ‘serious about his Christian faith’ or whatever, which was a stone bummer.
