Still thinking about this note Cormac McCarthy made in his private journal that my fiancée and I stumbled on last year in the Wittliff Collections: “The moral clarity of the English-speaking people has been a thousand years perfecting. It is a pointless task to imagine such a struggle taking markedly less time than this in some other culture. The notion that we are all as one is nonsense.”
Do they not teach kids to “stop, drop, and roll” anymore?
Ohio State University has suspended the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity while an investigation is underway into a video showing two men catching fire during an incident at the fraternity.
OSU spokesperson? : "“The university is aware of this extremely concerning incident.."
Steve Mitchell, CEO of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, said in a statement to Penn LIVE:
"We take this matter seriously and are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident while working closely with university officials and local law enforcement,” he said in a statement."

This is going to destroy the businesses on Santa Monica, Sunset, and Ventura, because those streets are going to have to get down to one lane. That's probably the goal. This is what happens when you elect a tourist mayor.

This is a golden era for pussies. If you’re afraid of physical confrontation, then there’s never been a better time for somebody to try to break into your house or steal your car. You can just hide and whimper into the phone that you need help and more people than at any other time in history will tell you that you were brave and did the right thing.

If pro-amnesty Congressional Republicans have their way, all future elections in America will be determined by which side can get more of their Mexicans to the polls.
America will remain America only insofar as 5th Century Rome remained Rome.
Perhaps in a century or two, "Juan Hernández" will proclaim himself the new Washington and we'll get our own version of the Holy Roman Empire.
I would have loved getting pointlessly and irrationally upset about this list, but it's so bad it's not even worth commenting on. Trolling and hot takes work because there's a modicum of truth to them. This is just awful.
What is indie rock? Our answer is these 100 albums

I'm seeing a lot of people comment on the destruction of St. Nicholas's Bones. Not to be an asshole, but I'd like to remind everybody that Santa Claus is spelled C-L-A-U-S, not Santa Clause, C-L-A-U-S-E. That's a Disney movie starring Tim Allen.

It's just pictures of women who vaguely look like my wife. I would not describe her as a "Sunny Ponytail Sweetheart"

What a moron, I can't believe an artist wouldn't zealously protect his creative output and demand to be compensated for it. How stupid must he be to want to give Geffen Records (Rodrigo's label) this gift?
When Olivia Rodrigo’s first-ever holiday song “take me home (4 christmas)” came out Thursday, it drew comparisons to the Waitresses’ “Christmas Wrapping.” But while some artists have received retroactive writing credit on past Rodrigo singles, it won’t be necessary this time. The Waitresses guitarist Christopher Butler, who wrote their 1981 classic, is totally cool with the homage.
Writing on Facebook when Rodrigo’s “take me home” was announced, Butler revealed that the pop star had reached out months ago to play it for him. They even met up after her show in Columbus last week. “If it has the same upbeat vibe as ‘CW’, well...how cool is that?” Butler added yesterday. “I’m a fan, and I wish her monster success with it.”
“Thank you all for the comparisons to ‘Christmas Wrapping,’” he also posted in the new song’s YouTube comments. “The vibe is there, but no plagiarism.”

It's too sad even to say, “Houston, we have a problem” jokingly.
I have signed an executive order directing HPD to no longer contact ICE for nonviolent offences, helping reduce fear in our communities. Thank you to Chief Diaz, our state and local leaders for their collaboration. A step toward building a stronger Houston. Let’s Go to Work.

This Toyota dealership was in business for about 70 years. Hollywood has completely changed, now it's overrun with homeless druggies.
It's especially bad because there are two “homeless outreach” organizations directly across the street.
It’s metaphor for all of Los Angeles.
Hollywood Ford alongside the first Toyota dealership in the USA on the 6000 block of Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, circa late 1950s. Given that Toyota wasn’t yet a proven brand in the US, I wonder of the folks at Ford were worried this Japanese brand might eat into their sales.
