As a "sure" on aliens and a "nope" on everything else, I'm intrigued by the subset of people here who apparently believe in both Bigfoot and Nessie, but the Chupacabra is a bridge too far

Can some publisher please just take pity on me and translate Suzuki's Ubiquitous? You can't just leave me hanging with "murder mystery about physics and the Voynich Manuscript" and never translate it. I don't have time to learn up to JLPT N2 on my own time, guys, come on

weighing whether or not I should finally read the Bible so I have the context when I finally get around to Moby Dick
Re-reading MOBY-DICK for an article (and also as a respite between Beck editing/factchecking sessions), and oh my word it's so much more legible and entertaining this time around because I actually know shit about the Bible

Every five or so years, I'm like "You know what would look good with this outfit? High heels. I'm sure there's no reason I haven't worn them in recent memory," and then I, God's fool, wear them to an event, and by the end of the event I've repented my hubris and sworn them off again

One of my best friends and the CEO of the Onion being in Barcelona at the same time is a fun little crossover, like I'm reading two sections of an anthology side by side. What adventures will they have? Will they cross paths? Have they both now seen the weirdly sexual Catalan giraffe?

How do we have such excellent candidates for city council and school board while all four of our mayoral candidates are so profoundly disappointing

I can't start talking about Frankenstein because I'll talk about it for four hours and I need to do things like shower and make food instead (no admiring the majesty of nature, though, sorry, Mary, I can't do your whole theme this morning) but rest assured I've got some Opinions in the oven

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

A very stupid problem I'm having is that when one has a job that requires constant driving, one becomes attached enough to one's car that when one is unceremoniously rear-ended so badly that the car is totaled and one has to go car shopping, one feels...worse about it than is strictly logical

Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.
