On "The police arrived at Dotcom Mansion in Auckland on Friday morning in two helicopters."
Oh, so I guess the war on sharing MP3s and hilarious cat videos is the new war on drugs.
AWESOME.

@Clarence Rosario Yeah, except for those assholes who never clean up after their two year old after he leaves a bit pile of shit on the sidewalk outside the bagel store each morning.

I don't understand, aren't fraternal twins born in separate pregnancies just called 'siblings', or did we suddenly just go all in on the human cloning thing and no one told me?

On The Livestream Ended: How I Got Off My Computer And Onto The Street At Occupy Oakland
"a winking cynicism about how the world works disguise their resignation and passivity."
I think this just might be the ananlogy I'd been seeking for so many things.

On New Yorkers Neurotic
I have an irrational hatred of navel-gazing hack journalism about the imaginary problems of boring rich people. For example, I can't even glance at Thursday Styles without wanting to decapitate a few one-percenters on my lunch break. Does that count?

On Emergency! Emergency!
NYC OEM recommends residents prepare for the hurricane by stockpiling 1 gal per person per day of pure water for drinking. To determine how many gallons of bourbon you will need, use this handy formula:
n / (1 - (a/100)
where n= number of people in your hurricane shelter, and a= the alcohol by volume on the label. If labels are given in proof, divide that number by 2 first. If your bourbon is sold in metric units, multiply the result by 3.78 to get the volume in liters instead.

With grit, determination, and a little bit of luck, they may well put a man on Inwood within a generation.

On "In the punishing heat of a July afternoon, dresses are 'the ultimate in comfort'"
I thought we had already established that everything in Thursday Styles is designed to target a particular demographic of readers that marketers refer to as "rich women dumber than a box of of cat hair"?

On Horrible 'Times' Spam Farm Gets What It Deserves
@Bryan Keller I sometimes convince myself that the paywall is actually all a clever way to perform economic price discrimination to extract revenue from those sufficiently altruistic or technically unsophisticated that they'll just pay $15 a month instead of spending 5 seconds clicking a few buttons on their browser, resulting in a more money without driving down total traffic.
Then I realize that these hypothetical super managers probably would be smart enough to not pay $25 Million for a pile of half broken javascript.

On 'Time' Magazine Now 23 Cents an Issue
Unless the Korean lady at the deli next to my office is gonna accept 11 issues of Time as payment for a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, I'm gonna have to pass on this offer.
Otherwise I would've totally jumped on the opportunity to save 22 cents on breakfast.
