Let Me Tell You About My Uncommon Cancer
Dan McQuade shares what his last year has been like since learning he’s living with neuroendocrine cancer.
defector.com
A year ago, doctors told me I had neuroendocrine cancer of the pancreas. I’d probably been living with it for a decade. I will likely never be cured. But after a year of surgeries, radiation and monthly shots with a giant needle, I’m not going anywhere anytime soon. defector.com/my-life-with...

In 1985 the Eagles led the Vikings 23-0 in the fourth and lost 28-23. Wade Wilson got benched at half, but came back in after rookie QB Steve Bono went 1-for-10 for 5 yards. The message in the Vikings’ huddle: Let’s at least try to score. Pep talks are overrated. defector.com/the-eagles-s...

I used to go to the Plaza Cinema each week as a young'un when it was a mainstream discount theatre.
Called every Friday after school to see what was playing that week.
"Cannonball Run? Cool. Star Trek Wrath of Khan? AWESOME!"
And then one Friday I called and, um.... I was confused.
