I’d bet twenty whole dollars Paris Campbell will be making routine and lucrative appearances on right-wing cable news weeping about the danger of trans people by this time next year.

To clarify, "damn, the booty don't stop, girl" was the title of the mixtape? Or is that a song title? Or a lyric? Or all three?

astoundingly, there is not: www.amazon.com/Sharpest-Spi...

Did this mixtape contain the immortal alt-journalism anthem “Snap Before You Fluff My Lady”?

In "The End of Evangelion," an unambiguously heterosexual male lead spends most of the film paralyzed by self-loathing while dynamic female characters engage in swashbuckling sci-fi combat against menacing giant robots. Did writer/director Hideaki Anno invent wokeness in 1997? It would appear so.

Beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder, but that is a thing that happened.

I donno. My take is the president wasn't entirely a non-factor in the presidential election. Also, you talk like an overwritten 1980s pro-wrestling promo.

I don't know your political affiliation, so it might not mean anything to point out that you're being a crappy leftist. But mull this question over for a thought experiment: Who had a bigger influence on the outcome of the 2024 election? Poor people in red states or Joe Biden?

Indeed. Let us all blame our national political catastrophe on people with minimal (functionally zero) actual power, especially if they're people we never interact with or encounter directly.

Whoa! It’s Blade Runner! On a big screen in the middle of the city! You don’t see that every day.

New York City does alright every now and then.

Only low and medium hats are acceptable, I suppose.

"Miller's Crossing" is so good it doesn't even matter that I have no idea what anybody is saying.

Three people at Boston Pride/No Kings saw my “I Have Friends Everywhere” sign and said “Hey, Star Wars!” And here I was worried the reference was too obscure…

Everything is terrible. On the bright side, I officially own a promo CD ("The Big Dream") and a 7" ("Flame of Love") that currently reside in a warehouse formerly owned by David Lynch. Buying stuff off the internet is good sometimes.

Here is a cat who is friends with Spider-Man.

anyone who doesn't wait for a half-off sale needs to be legally banned from controlling their own money, just like Britney Spears used to be.

Criterion just announced a 20-disc Wes Anderson 4K blu-ray set for $500. Didn't realize Criterion is sick, twisted MFers, but there y'go.

My foot hurts.

Love this time of year when they keep saying it’s going to rain but mostly it never does; most of the time, it’s just humid and disgusting.

There are two world champions of professional wrestling. Their names are spelled differently but are both pronounced "Ja-on." They are both bad guy characters, or "heels." They are both in bad storylines.

Today's Lyft driver took a moment to let us know the company is stretched a little thin across the city these days, as at least 350 drivers -- people with legal work permits and green cards -- have been snatched up and disappeared in early-morning ICE raids.

Man giving double thumbs up in a mock up of the Red Room from “Twin Peaks.” There’s a living statue on the other side of the room.

Was just now informed that I was manufactured for a purpose! Fuck yeah!

Ospreay vs. Takeshita has usurped Candlebox to become the coolest thing I’ve seen at the MGM Fenway.

The best part of Record Store Day is explaining why you’re waiting in line to the inevitable inquiring passersby.

It appears that I am not, in fact, the only person who’s mad about all the bad stuff.

Georgina Tater Tot the cat hisses and growls at my phone whenever she sees it. I can’t tell if she finds the ubiquity of mobile devices irksome in general or simply hates having her picture taken.

Speaking as a onetime "Lost" psycho, I do not believe there's an answer to the question "What is Lumon Industries?" that won't disappoint and annoy 65% of the audience. "Severance" should just focus on stuff like whether Mark likes Helly or Gemma and let us wonder forever where the goats came from.

Somebody complimented my Transformers t-shirt the other day. They tried to strike up a conversation; I confessed that I found the shirt on the sidewalk and don't know what "Beast Wars" is. Now I truly know the pure, bottomless shame of the poser.
