I know the Kinks get overlooked a lot, but still, their exclusion makes me very sad.

It is important to know that the speed you are paying for is what you should expect when hardwired... a lesson I learned after getting transferred around an ISP’s call center one day.

7. Any out of context reference to Chicago (This, btw, also works for Detroit.)

This is puzzling. I saw Goldberg interview Ta-Nehisi Coates a couple of weeks ago at SXSW, and Goldberg kept trying to draw Coates into criticizing the media’s (namely the NY Times’) propensity for offering “equal broadcast time” (which Coates, for the most part, declined to do). One definitely got the impression from…

The relationship I have with my best friend was formed with music as the centerpiece. We’ve played in bands together; we’ve spent innumerable hours talking about music.

I needed to read this today. Thanks.

I kind of hope that too.

You frame a linked article as Hopper being critical of DeRogatis, but the article you link to is an interview that has a…

:::looks around::: me too, shhh!!

I’ve tried that before, and I think it tastes kind of weird, but my girlfriend likes it, so whatever works for you.

Brew your regular coffee recipe with double the amount of coffee (or half the amount of water) in your preferred method. Once the brewing process is complete, pour the coffee over an appropriate amount of ice to compensate for the missing water in the hot brew.

Telling people you have an All Clad pan is more fun though. Then you get to make fun of the person you’re talking to for not knowing about All Clad pans. Then you can whip out your phone and show them the pictures you have of yourself cooking with each of your All Clad pans (I HAVE FUCKING FIVE). Then you can be like…
