Never tell anyone they're wrong on the internet. Not even if they're saying "Charlie Brown had hoes." Walk away with your hands in your pockets. Breathe deeply. Go into a bar and order a whisky. So he didn't have hoes; the facts say otherwise. It's not worth your life.

The drought contributes to the effect here -- but, folks with yards, be more gentle than this (I'll spare you the three-man gas-powered blowing routine that happened just after this, blowing away nothing but the topsoil from the areas they've already ruined).

Brain off, Netflix's Detective Hole on. Joel Kinnaman has spent too much time superheromaxxing, no longer moves like a human person.

Complete mystery who still thinks putting a mic in Kruk's hand is a good idea.

I would have gotten way too into The Fall, found out what a bastard Mark E. Smith was, and done severe mental gymnastics to pretend it was okay (instead of forgiving him in retrospect, so....not a huge difference!).

On Tax Day, Mamdani Taxed the Rich - The American Prospect The mayor, his supporters, and public opinion convinced their previously reluctant governor to agree to a tax on the second (or third, fourth, fifth, etc.) homes of their city’s nonresident rich.

When will Fulton County properly tax trophy towers & data centers owned by billionaire corporations?

Never, if Mo Ivory becomes chair of the county commission. She proposed a task force to communicate that it's all just fine.

Ivory is the anti-Mamdani.

IIRC the Allman Brothers and Poco had different songs with the same title ("Crazy Love") in the Top 40 at the same time.

I'm in a pickle - neighbor is a nice guy, and I complained about the last service he used because they were blowing his leaves into my yard (which I tend to myself, using a rake). Feel like I've cashed my chips already in this regard. What should I do? Nothing? Those bare areas will never grow back.

The reseller market has even penetrated to club-sized shows in the last couple years. Prices for some higher profile shows at the 40 Watt Club in Athens, GA have quickly gone insane. Hundreds of dollars to see Gary Numan!

Reading my old opinion pieces for my college newspaper a while ago, I can hear myself trying to fight through the Reagan-era brain poisoning -- sometimes getting there, but often falling short in a distressing white boy snark sort of way. Embarrassed in retrospect, I've thrown them away.

Feeling despair about the solipsism of the -maxxers and those they infect. In a purely time budgeting sense, what opportunity do these people have to pursue interests outside of themselves? Does edification as a goal mean anything to them, and what are the downstream effects of being so dulled out?

RIP Sid Krofft. When I wrote about a Land Of The Lost episode for my VSE column, I also wrote at length about the Krofft brothers strange, '70s-specific magic. www.avclub.com/land-of-the-...

To any Hungarians annoyed that Americans are placing the credit for your momentous victory on the shoulders of our stunningly repellent little weasel of a VP: you are correct to feel that way, I'm sorry, we just want to seize any available oppurtunity to humiliate him specificially

Do the characters call each other "chucklehead" in Night of the Creeps? Trying to remember what movie made that a thing among my friends for a short time around then....

Gentle reminder that the man who claimed puns are the lowest form of humo(u)r also chose this facial expression while sitting for a portrait.

Rory McIlroy still riding the high of not dining with Tiger and Phil. Feeling down? Contemplate their absence from your life as well. It costs nothing!

Rory McIlroy’s bougie Champions Dinner is the Masters moment he's wanted

"Neither Tiger Woods nor Phil Mickelson will be in attendance this year" A killer menu and then finding out he wouldn't have to talk to those two asshats, I'll bet McIlroy had a great time.

Elton John's "Ego" was the first music video I ever saw. It played in theaters before the movie FM, which I saw in 1979 I think. We didn't know what to make of it, I kept expecting Elton to show up in the movie but he never did.
