Oh damn, the only time I got to see Broken Social Scene back in the day, Feist was touring separately and not at the show, and I was really annoyed. Maybe I can finally rectify that (assuming she's touring with them this time?)

Usually when I go back and read something I wrote a long time ago, I'm embarrassed by my past self, but sometimes I just think, damn, past me was cooking

Few things give me as much pleasure as remembering how mad Charles Murray got over the SPLC extremist profile I wrote on him

Every high ranking academic who sought out Epstein’s time _after his conviction in 2008_ should be looking for a job now, and absolutely untouchable in academic circles. Get a real job, not a phone call and email fundraising job you fucks

Hearing that Brewer's Art closed really sucks. So many fond memories of that place, even (especially) the dungeon seating downstairs

While we're on midtown/MV restaurant discourse, I cannot sufficiently convey how much that area needs Mount Vernon Marketplace to reopen as something similar (a food hall) but better-managed

Also gotta give a shoutout to Gad Saad, who isn’t a sociobiologist or evopsychologist, but a marketing professor. He’s just a eugenicist for the love of the game
