I ride my motorcycle to work nearly every day. I have two main reasons for doing so: I can ride in the HOV lane (a major convenience here in the ATL) and because it’s just fun. Turns out I also may be turning into an evil genius with a dangerous amount of mental processing power. Researchers found that motorcycling doesn’t just make you more attractive, but also actually smarter. Continue reading
I made a new mix for the kids. It’s chock full of Saturday night electro-house bangers, so it should be just right for those of you getting ready to hit the town or in need of a new workout soundtrack. As usual, I apologize in advance for my lack of mixing skills. This one came out pretty clean, I think, but I don’t claim to be a pro! Continue reading
Did you know an estimated 2 million people were out in the streets celebrating Carnival in Rio de Janeiro last week? Yes, 2 million people. Because I’m so generous I put together a collection of fresh 2012 Carnival videos for you kids. It was tough work but someone had to do it. Continue reading
The Second City comedy troupe imagines a world where Prince isn’t famous — instead he’s a plumber named Roger.
It looks like this is the first in a series. So who should they do next? I’d suggest Celine Dion or Kanye West.

I can’t say I’ve ever given more than half a shit about the Emmy Awards (or really any awards show) but I’m starting to think that the costume designers on FX’s The League deserve a trophy for their note-perfect work with Dr. Andre Nowzik. Continue reading
Why doesn’t The Atlantic’s Derek Thompson get more attention? I rarely see his stuff linked from other big economics-oriented liberal bloggers and he seems to always be overshadowed by the other writers at his own publication — folks like James Fallows, Ta-Nahesi Coates and (barf) Megan McCardle.
Do you live in some awful yuppie enclave full of Audi-driving assholes who walk their little shit-ass lap dogs around and complain about the quality of the ceviche at that new Peruvian molecular gastronomy bistro down the street? Yes, you obviously do because you read this site.
So let me take this opportunity to show you how real ‘Mericans live — in a place where the idea of Sunday alcohol sales is still legitimately controversial. You probably think I’m talking about some small town in 1950s Georgia. You would be WRONG, ass blood. I’m talking about a small town in 2012 Georgia! Continue reading
Do you have an eccentric uncle who lives in a rural Arizona trailer park? Has he recently gone on a rant about hyper-inflation and the economic ideas of Glenn Beck? Did he just spend half an hour talking about how he put all of his life savings into some sort of exotic gold bullion recovered from an 18th century Spanish galleon?
If so, you should make him read this. It’s Warren Buffett’s annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. This year’s letter included a shockingly simple explanation for why gold is a terrible investment. Continue reading
Have you ever wondered how the average moron uses Facebook? I always have. Then I found the answer — a Facebook Page with a name that only an illiterate teenage baby mama could have come up with: Gr8 ppl, Gr8 thoughts. Continue reading
Hey kids, I made a new mix for you guys. Offkie (rightly) said the last mix did a bit too much genre-hopping so I buckled down and made a mix that sticks to deep/soulful/vocal house.
