Oh Union Square
Walking toward a pair of Greenpeace folks. The one staring me down looks defeated. I shake my head no as I get closer.
Greenpeace Guy: I fucking hate my job.
Me: I don’t have a job.
Greenpeace Guy: Oh, sorry. Good luck, bro.

“A woman on the street stopped and attempted to begin an argument: “Why are you...”
– via the manifesto written by the bored women who probably once took a gender studies class at Pratt and decided the best way to take back the streets was by smashing a bubble tea shop’s window.
no. really.
“I hadn’t thought of that. So, yes! I intended to do that.”
– Shinya Tsukamoto during today’s roundtable for Tetsuo: The Bullet Man. Look for that remark in at least nine other reports from the room.
In response to a kind of lengthy question of mine regarding the nature of this third “Tetsuo,” which can be inferred from another answer he...

See films.
Drink at Grassroots.
Record podcast at Grassroots.
Eat a Pizzacone.

You should not have 3 skits in the course of 20 minutes followed by one award. This ratio is bound to...
Why The Streamys Sucked.
It is very simple.
They closed the cash bar nearly 45 minutes into the program.
After that, everything went to shit.

i have hence decided this will be the title of either:
A chapter in my memoirs.
the title of a blog
a new slogan to embrace careful driving
and that’s what I did on Tuesday.
