Hi, I moved to a couch on the Lower East Side in 2010 and, like, yeah, there was a couch on the Lower East Side before 2010 but I decided to pretend that there wasn’t and instead complain how, in those six months while I was off on a couch on the Lower East Side living on my friend’s [sic] couch for free, things are a lot different than when I lived there with my friend’s [sic] (couch). Now I’m...

awpoops: summerofmegadeth: awpoops: Walking to the subway after work yesterday, I stopped at the intersection of 10th Avenue and 23rd street and waited for the light to change. A bus passed, going up 10th Avenue. A woman and her two daughters were standing next to me. Dressed in matching windbreakers, I’d have to guess the two little girls were age 5 and 7, respectively. The older girl...

peterwknox: lorim: Roger Sterling on LSD. Good god this is fantastic. We’re not even half through the season and the show keeps feeling like it’s finale good. I agree. It feels like they’ve been given permission to have fun with the show. Even the structure would never have been pulled off this well earlier in the season. Everything has been amazing. Summer of Megadeth is halfway through a...

6h057: thenotes: Probably you will never purge the memory of eating at the restaurant around the corner and overhearing a guy tell his date that “deus ex machina” means “the machinery of god.” Not as bad as trying to criticize something as amateurish and using a fanfic term. Summer of Megadeth just spent five minutes trying to find the Joshua David Stein bit about overhearing a dude on a...

America discovers nepotism, again
free-cat-fancy: I can’t be the first person to point out that everyone has only been pissing their pants when a woman has a well-connected dad, can I?  Whoa. We literally never thought of it this way. You are totally the first person to point this out, dude.

Proper use of ironic constructions: a guide.
fuckyeahsummerofmegadeth: ninety9: What We Talk About When We Talk About _________: Should only be used to indicate a meta-construction. That is, you are parodying the use of ironic constructions; therefore the effective — read: funny — use is not necessary because the entire gesture should be read a sort of droll non-attempt. “I’m not trying to be funny.” The Way We _________ Now: More...

ninety9: I’m hardly in a position to judge what’s a fair use of time, but Lil’B giving a talk at NYU? How it this more punk rock than the Eagles playing s staff concert at Rolling Stone offices? If maybe he scheduled a second talk at a community college in Queens, or swung by a youth center in the Bronx, that fits the mythology a lil’better. Or maybe I’m missing the point. “Surely...

lifeaquatic: maura: Kind of wish the Spotify-embed news had happened today, what with the “play button” really being more of a “launch app except if you live in a country where we don’t exist, sorry, lol you really thought the web was world wide?” button, and further proving my point about the celestial jukebox’s limitations. But alas.  I live in a Spotify-less country and I’m still ok! ...
