I hate-read the moron from the NYT’s profile of the Rational Harry Potter fool, and I honestly can’t figure out how anyone can take this shit remotely seriously.

Very sad to hear. Graham Greene was a natural born scene stealer, who I loved every time I saw him show up — particularly in Die Hard With A Vengeance and Maverick where he played a snarky, bullshitter take on Chief Joseph, always out to screw over racist white men.

This was a good overall read in my inbox today, though this part in particular articulates what I was joking about when taking potshots at "the youths" the other day. "Cringe" has become meaningless outside signifying something about the person who lobs it at art they don't like.

I bought this comic when I was 11, and today at 43, I saw a man older than my father wearing its cover on a t-shirt outside the Jimmy John’s. Life is odd.
