No seriously media outlets: Get gaming desks, your internet culture desks, & your extremism desks linked up YESTERDAY or you're going to find yourselves missing so much context it'll be fundamentally embarrassing. Already seen things from NYT, BBC, & AP all failing to elucidate CRUCIAL information.

No surprise, of course. But these are the lasting legacies that go far beyond one administration.

Spike Lee - one of the greatest filmmakers - remakes one of the greatest films by another of the greatest filmmakers, starring one of the greatest actors and it is NOT playing at the local cineplex. Not great.

A spider crawled up my leg during an interview in the middle of a very in-depth and heartfelt answer the other person was giving to my question… Did I stop them to deal with my growing panic?
