Dinosaur Jr and J Mascis? What a coup!

I don't think it's worth working ourselves into a frenzy over, but I hate that line as well. I remember getting into a screaming match with a good friend of mine over the fact that I didn't think Jessica Simpson was attractive.

Nah.

I saw it on video, but I remember thinking the same thing: "Uh, shit, I guess a lot of stuff's going to change in the next four years." (Actually, I think it was three years when I saw it.)

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

There might be something to that. Republican presidents in my lifetime:
Reagan - former actor, reassuring weenie, monster
HW Bush - not a "star" but beat a piss-poor candidate
Bush the Younger - dick-swingin' prep-school cowboy
Trump - whatever Trump is

When I finally took the plunge in 2011, I got an Android precisely because I could, theoretically, "tinker" with it. Of course, I haven't, and the damned thing (and the ensuing two, because I'm an idiot) basically just drove me crazy with its endless updates. I'm pretty dedicated to PCs, but I'm thinking my next will…

I was always partial to "You Went to See Dishwalla and Everclear(You're Gay)."

Aw, thanks, Gwen! Two Fucks is so formal, though. Please, call me Bela.

I maintain that that's a seriously underrated album. It's like an melted version of an arena rock record - all slightly out-of-tune guitars and songs about obsession and tongues.

Oh, come on. The 'Mats couldn't have written "Finest Worksong" and R.E.M. couldn't have written "Answering Machine." They're both fucking great.

I was just thinking the same thing. I think I even have a copy of it somewhere. However, I stupidly signed up for that "26 books in 2017" thing and picked big and/or complex books almost exclusively, so God knows how long it's going to be before I can read something that isn't on the list. I'm thinking probably August.

Whomever recommended that Chris Grace go by "Topher" should be caned. Chris Grace is a fine, fine name.

Not going to lie, I'm really looking forward to this. It's easy to make fun of Ken Burns, but that guy's good more often than not.

The thing about PBS - and I hope I don't sound naive in saying this - is that I believe in them, in the sense that I don't think there's anything nefarious or unsavory about what they do or how they do it. They reassure me and they enlighten me. May they continue always.

Forbes has the Broncos valued at $2.4 billion.

Gwen either wasn't specific enough or misheard. It's the first total solar eclipse visible from the continental U.S. since '79. Partials are much more common, and there have been numerous totals in other parts of the world since then.

You just brought piss to a shit fight, man.

I appreciate the fucked up optics, believe me, and it's not something that I say lightly. But I'm getting mighty, mighty sick of being called traitor, terrorist, libtard, moron, p*ssy, you name it, by stump-dumb morons who have never left their hometowns and refuse to believe that 'Murica could maybe be a little bit…

It's tasteless and goes against pretty much everything I believe in, but it works.
