Any time I see a headline that someone who used to be in a punk band has died at the age of 50-something or 60-something, I can’t help but think they did it wrong.

No. I don't want to join you on your discord channel. Call me old and stodgy, but I don't like being chirped at every five seconds to pay attention to the conversation, only to find that it's just people typing "LOL" or "kk" or "ya." Some of us have to work for a living, you know.

Talking about having good genes, especially when you mean “good jeans” is not a dog whistle. It’s a play on words. It’s an homonymic exploit, at best, a rather obvious pun. Of all the things to decide to raise a stink about...

I’m surprised there’s not a blog somewhere that collects all of the horror stories of dealing with the local CEFCO for things like a gas purchase or trying to buy a bottle of water while the staff has a fight that sounds like a family reunion on a bender. These places are builtpre-distressed.

What arrogance. These are the same people, who, on slow news days, love to take potshots at Hollywood, decrying it as a den of iniquity. The hypocrisy they exhibit is frankly Olympian. Only their willful ignorance is more galling.
