Say what you will about this website but it is not lacking in humorless, pedantic replies.

for a henchman, there’s nothing better after a long day of guarding a small chest than standing with your back to a field of waving grass just tall enough to hide a crouching human being

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

It can't be the Yankees for obvious reasons, but if it's established precedent to play songs from New Hollywood musicals after sports wins, I think some team should do "Take Off With Us" from ALL THAT JAZZ

I finally remembered the best one - PG Wodehouse learning of Jack Kerouac's recent death during a 1969 interview with the Paris Review and having a perfectly Bertie Wooster-ish reaction: 'those chaps sure do go quickly, don't they'

A four panel comic of Calvin’s Dad talking to Calvin.
Panel 1: All bands and musical acts can be classified as either Joy Division or New Order

Panel 2: Nirvana? Joy Division
The Strokes? New Order
Charli XCX? Joy Division
Taylor Swift? New Order

Panel 3: here's the thing... New Order? Joy Division, then New Order

Panel 4: Calvin lies awake in bed, looking completely confused

When I found out about that I took a bunch of drugs and started storyboarding a no-dialogue/all-dance Fred Astaire biopic, doomed because a) duh and b) who would play Fred

With all the mentions of "Mo Bamba" recently, I decided to check up and found out that, yes, Mo Bamba is still nominally in the NBA (playing for the Utah Jazz). Long may he last.
