My greatest nemeses are the pop-up ads that prevent me from reading. You’re messing with something sacred here (reading, learning), assholes and don’t think I’m not plotting my revenge.

in honor of what would have been Madeline Kahn's 82nd birthday, may I present her at the height of fashion

RIP the great Maggie Smith.

New York. This is a place where every day you wake up you could experience everything from the mayor getting indicted for accepting $10 million in bribes to a person like me who’s celebrating that indictment. This a very, very complicated city, and that’s why it’s the greatest city in the world.

Who's gonna be the next mayor of NYC? Wrong answers only.

The guys on The Michael Kay show just bitch and moan about his new haircut. They’re hacks.

and this in turn reminds of something a religion professor once said to our class: "in black church tradition, christians worship a jesus who has been lynched. in the white church tradition, christians worship a jesus who could be forgiven for lynching"

There’s a lot of Pelham in Die Hard too with so much of the dialogue between characters happening on the radio or on walkie-talkies. Pelham is such an influential movie and the editing is flawless.

The best thing about The Phantom Menace is John Williams’ music. If that counts as a bad movie, it works well here.

Move over Eric Adams. It’s time for the night mayor to take over.
