– Cartoonist Jeffrey Brown, who has a movie in Sundance. Splitsider mentioned his movie and I noticed his name; it’s got Lizzy Caplan, Alison Brie, Martin Starr, Geoffrey Arend, and Mark Webber in it. Good cast. I missed a chunk of his work (the absurd comedy stuff)(plus: I tend to avoid...

– From “No, Black Friday Sales Were Not Up 16% (not even 6%).” On the one hand, every year, the news pretends that people are making it rain at the local S-Mart, until January, when sales suddenly turn out to have been disappointing. On the other hand, as an atheist, videos of rubes...

When is one of these mavericks going to get it over with and come out in favor of repealing the 13th amendment? Sick fucks.

– Is it weird to be happy about people losing their jobs? Well, then call me Mr. Weird. No, no, wait— call me Doctor Roller-Coaster, PhD. I like the sound of that a lot more than Mr. Weird. It makes it sound like I solve circus-related crimes. ”Who’s blackmailing the Bearded...

For all the talk about NBC and their rating woes— why doesn’t anyone mention how TERRIBLE NBC’s ads for its own shows are?

– Matthew Weiner, discussing Mad Men. What this makes me think of: I heard an interview with John Hodgman the Nerdist guys did the other day where he kept using the phrase “my life’s work” to discuss things. I guess that’s been on my mind lately, that phrase. ”My...

Dan Harmon on the Indoor Kids →
If you’re upset about Community’s uncertain future, and apparently a sizable chunk of my dashboard has feelings tonight, Dan Harmon talking on Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon’s very pleasant video-game podcast about Batman, chimpanzees, LA Noire, the sexual politics of repairing Camaros, etc. Might take your mind off of it. They keep trying to bring it back to videogames but...
