I remember getting my AP English Summer reading list for senior year and seeing Brothers Karamazov and Anna Karenina and thinking "well I'm never gonna read this", I rented the movie and got a 20/100 on the test. The Kitchen God's Wife was unexpectedly good for my 17 year old self. The Nastier Nate has issued a correction as of 20:59 on Jul 9, 2018 |

She campaigned on "both sides are the same" when that could not be more obvious horseshit, and had an execrable platform even by third-party standards. We know Putin has his tentacles into fringe figures on the left (Oliver Stone has become his puppet) because they are desperate for their own source of wingnut welfare. We know she's been doing PR for the Kremlin's stance on the Ukraine, for example. i like that this person thinks it takes russian dark money to make the green party embarassing

George W Bush said Brothers K was his favorite book. A lot of politicians say that. It's because they all think they're Alyosha.

Asimov's non-fiction science nerdery was so much better because he didn't have to pretend to have characters that had personalities or motivations other than "talk about science nerdery".

Even though most people didn't have access to it live, I think that it was p tasteful of W to do the one big 9/11 in the major markets on the east coast. Savvy even, as he understood the power of the emerging information technologies. Dick Cheney was probably like "i am not sure if this will be enough 9/11" and W was like "look fucker, this is going to be such a 9/11 that p much every day after this is going to be 9/11 for decades after this" And he was right

Also good idea to cancel the Philadelphia 9/11, given Philadelphia's growing irrelevance in this media landscape
