So let me start off by saying I’m a fan of Kanye West, or Jeezy or Je. If I could figure out what name he wants to be called by, I’d use that one, but since I’m more worried about you knowing who I’m talking about right now, we’ll stick with Kanye. Ever since he […]
Read more "Kanye and Donald, Sitting in a Tree…"You don’t have to go very far to find someone who hates the United States. Chile, Iran, Nicaragua, chances are if your country had some kind of revolution in the last hundred years, we were there and what the people of your country actually wanted had very little to do with whatever designs we set […]
Read more "A Bunch of Nazis Who Were Right"There’s no easy way to talk about who Edward Bernays is, much less to learn about him for the first time.

None of us really have a problem with accusing rich people of snobbery, or suggesting that they’ve hijacked politics and popular culture […]
Read more "There’s No Such Thing As Propaganda, With Edward Bernays"If there was ever a man that’s tricky to pin down it’s Prince, or more accurately The Artist Formerly Known as Prince and even more accurately than that, just the following symbol, because that’s how much this man is not going to let you put him in a box: He defined himself and now we […]

Read more "The Art of Audience"If we don’t want to laugh at something then there’s not one thing in the world that’s going to make us.

Read more "That’s Funny."Going to a show is an honest solution to one of life’s biggest problems. People just want to do something, to make anything happen on purpose. Before the show, everyone tells them to hurry up and do nothing. Go to school and sit still. Go to work and don’t tell anyone to fuck themselves. Go […]
Read more "Are You Going to the Show?"Tom and Jerry is a bizarre cartoon. More than just being ridiculously violent, it’s pretty much exclusively violent. Some of the most controversial violence that’s ever been put on a screen spends less time there than the average run time of a Tom and Jerry cartoon.
