Musings meant for menageries.
If you’re the type to see food as a challenge, head down to Killer Noodle and stuff some pain in your face. Upon opening the menu you’ll be greeted with a list of guidelines, including a disclaimer that they won’t take anything back if it’s too spicy and a reminder to “Protect your bottom.” The …
I spent the last several days watching all the Marvel movies leading up to and including Avengers: Infinity War for no other reason than I’m a big ole dumb. I’m now going to list my hot takes vaguely in the order in which I watched them just so I can pretend to have something to show for …
The Last Jedi recently appeared on Netflix which seems to have reignited that debate I thought we got over a couple months ago and since I missed out the first time around, here are all the things I have to say about it. I’m aware nobody asked for this. Criticizing The Last Jedi is like …
Three months ago I wrote an obituary for my mother. It was printed and read in local papers. We held a service in April where many well wishers offered their heartfelt condolences and to celebrate her life. As I prepare to navigate the rest of my life without her in it, I’ve come to this …
Okay, so, birds eating fermented berries to get drunk on purpose is some Snapple Facts nonsense that we’ve been hearing since 2002. Unlike a lot of those so-called Real Facts, this one is actually true. Who would have thought the apparatus used to keep mass produced tea properly pasteurized would be so unreliable? Anyway, for …
You might have seen postwar antifascist public service announcement that made the rounds on the internet recently: America has treated antifascist education the same way it’s treated basically all education on how to not be a monster of a human being: by meekly saying “hey, don’t do that” and expecting that to be enough. Considering …
[Content Warning: Sexual Violence] This one’s not going to be funny. I’m going to steal something someone else said: There are a million statistics about the victims of sexual violence that are so often repeated that they’re hard to ignore. If you go to any reasonably sized party and lament that one in four women …
This is now a cooking blog. I decided that I wanted to make my own birthday dinner and it turned out quite well, so I’m just going to link the recipes here. Also, since my parents haven’t tried anything new since the 90s, I decided to cook something other than just meat and potatoes. White …
Recently, I’ve been interning at a magazine. Sometimes they have me write things. They had me review the deluxe re-release of Ghost in the Shell so instead of checking that brand names are spelled correctly for no money I spent that day reading comics for no money. A win, I guess. Anyway, this is the first draft …
What’s the George Carlin bit? A stewardess told me to get on the plane and I said, “Fuck that, I’m getting in the plane!” I guess the joke is mostly in the delivery (which is a whole other discussion about whether or not that qualifies as a joke), but it does succinctly bring up something that …
