Wtf twice a week every week. Just when I hear a couple episodes that felt mediocre and I think I'll just cherry pick ones with guests I like, I hear an amazing interview with someone I've never heard of. He gets amazing people, in the last two weeks he's had David Crosby and Ron Howard. Today on my morning commute I can hear a discussion with Roger Waters. Also, I really love Radiolab. Their newer episodes have been less consistent to me but there's still years of reruns that are fascinating to relisten to after a year or two. And let's not forget Fresh Air with Terry Gross. It's so omnipr

That one is on the list of albums I bought when I was 14 because Kurt Cobain told me to and I totally couldn't understand it. I should revisit it with my growed up ears.

^^ That's a great one. Probably my favorite from the two of them.

Yeah, might still be something. But it's been an oddly slow news cycle for the election, so this feels exciting.

James Taylor-sweet baby james. This is another example (like the Dead's American Beauty) where I had to get past a number of cultural associations to just hear something for what it is: a fully realized piece of art.

Keep reading, looks like it was much ado about nothing for HRC. The Wiener has struck again however.

I enjoyed a headline today that said after the destruction of Trump's Hollywood star, he only has 6 remaining horcruxes.

"Hey! Good lookin' female ... get over here!"

There was an irritating lack of basic macroeconomic qualification in the debt discussions in the last debate. Obama has shrunk the deficit considerably. People love talking about the debt being bigger than ever, but that's fine when your GDP is bigger than ever.

So I was thinking about how over the "alt right" and their fringe, hate bullshit yesterday, and I was ready to write a premature obituary for the Trump campaign. But rather than preach to the choir and jinx this whole thing, I thought of a more interesting question (rather than a rant). What are the legitimate concerns of the Trump movement which aren't answered by a traditional Democratic candidate? What would a more successful (and positive/productive) embodiment of those concerns look like in a future GOP candidate? The one thing that's been interesting, and fairly downplayed in this

Consider me corrected, bigly.

I thought he switched it to "big league". Like I heard him saying "bigly" in the primaries, but then one of his advisers/consultants told him not to use made up adverbs, but he couldn't so they just coached him to switch it to an established expression.

It has brought a very savory scene; foodie restaurants galore! Tons of economic growth but lots of complaints about population growth and skyrocketing property values/ rent.

Sorry, my sarcasm doesn't read. Part of why I got extra sarcastic is it's hilarious that a vocal contingent of our city council seems to think first that the pot shops would cause problems, and second that they will be avoided by preventing the Rec shops from opening in our neighborhood when the Denver-metro area is littered with them.

Yep! A few dummys thought that by walling off recreational sales our neighborhood would be a safe-haven from the eminent decay that comes from casual marijuana purchases. Of course people drive two miles up Broadway and the tax revenue leaves our little city.

Nah, pinko. I don't really smoke it, I just want to tax it.

Just got mine. I'm filling it out tonight. I get to vote to bring more pot revenue to my 'burb by switching our medical shops to retail.

Yeah, I just want to vote and be done. I wish election day was today. I am definitely feeling the fatigue, but for some reason I keep reading articles and watching the polls. Like some kind of addict.

What's crazy is how few bookstores stock any of these. I almost went through life thinking Ask the Dust was his only work until I stumbled upon a used copy of Brotherhood of the Grape.

The fact that you're even willing to try with Ulysses shows some serious tenacity. I think there's a pretty big difference between the language challenges presented by post Dubliners Joyce and Trainspotting. Joyce seems to endeavor to make his prose inscrutable and difficult to reach, where I feel like Welch is just initiating you enough to feel like a local. Much of the dialog can be figured out simply by reading it aloud in your best Scottish brogue, which will often force audible laughter. There's a small handbag of vocabulary that I imagine a UK resident would be familiar with, that you

I'm with you, that played so poorly. It was probably the first time where I laughed with Trump on something. And then I found the full excerpt from the transcript in question. She ACTUALLY was talking about Abe Lincoln. Amazing. In the end it's probably more important how something looks, than what it truly is in this game.

I disagree. I see how your thinking describes a large percentage of his base, but it doesn't describe every potential voter. It's easy to be disheartened by the aggression and blow-hard ignorance of the people at his rallies, but they're a minority. Trump won the primary with roughly 40% of the republican vote. That means that 60% of the republicans did not have him as their first choice and face a difficult decision. Sure, some decided immediately and no leaked tape will convince them otherwise, but even an ambivalent 10% of the base creates a landslide on a traditional election map with

I know, the breaking point always seems arbitrary.

This is the same question I was asking above. The ethics are just as rotten in all of these offenses, but I'm thinking (cynically) that the difference is those other groups are minorities and ones that bigoted white men are insulated from. Women aren't a minority, they're interwoven with everything and everyone that our society is. Also, as for the boys will be boys/ locker room excuse, I don't buy it. Even as a drunken lusty 17 year old man surrounded by the same, we may have described aspirations or crudely admired people's anatomy, but we NEVER joked about assaulting a woman with aggressi
