2001: A Travel Guide

Space is a crazy place; or at least Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke would have us think so. These two giants of film and science fiction teamed up in the late ‘60s to show the world what they thought the universe might look like and what our place in…

O Jogo Bonito

I don’t know if you’ve been watching the World Cup, but if you’re at all interested in sports, you should probably try to catch at least one game. Even if you’re not at all into sports, you probably should. Sure, there are a lot of things about soccer that doesn’t…

Hot Time: Surviving Summer in the City

If you’ve noticed a burning sensation on your exposed skin recently, you are not alone. The source of dat hot fire is not an STI (hopefully), the latest Kendrick Lamar verse or runaway deep fryer, hell-bent on destroying us all; it’s just the sun! In case you’ve only recently joined…

Particle Accelerated

Last issue, I’d mentioned that I’ve been watching a lot of MSNBC clips on YouTube. (I haven’t had cable television for quite some time, so I’d been spared watching any of the 24-hour news networks for a while; however, YouTube’s powerful algorithms were well aware that I enjoyed watching clips…

Reality Bites

We’re still alive. I have to admit, I had my doubts as I woke up on the morning of June 12. Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump were having their summit brouhaha in Singapore, and I wasn’t entirely sure if I’d wake up with a warhead in my lap. I mean,…

You sit there on your high perch from the pages of Good Housekeeping and judge me like your shit…

So Long and Thanks for All the Fish!

We have a problem, people; a disturbingly sexy problem and we need to start discussing it now. If we stick to our current path, this problem will become all but a certainty. Our reckoning will shake the very foundation of who we are as people; it will change how we…

Mitt Happens

Remember back in 2012? It was a simpler time. We were choosing between Mitt Romney and incumbent Barack Obama for the highest office in the land. I’m sure we rolled our eyes a lot, maybe at both candidates, but as far as we know, neither of them ever had to…

Funny Business

At this point, I feel like I know Michael Avenatti well enough that I feel as though I should send him a Christmas card or something this year. I don’t really like or dislike the man, but every time I turn on the TV, there he is with that steely…

Privileged Information

Being the personal attorney for the President of the United States certainly has its perks, but getting raided by the FBI is probably not one of them. Unfortunately for Michael Cohen, this is now his life. Cohen is reportedly under criminal investigation over his personal business dealings, whatever that means….
