Scenes from the Chicago public transportation...
This actually happened yesterday. It is not a scene from a hackneyed movie with such clichéd characters as the AWFUL WOMAN and the ANGRY COMMUTER, as much as it might read like one. The scene: The Chicago El (Brown Line heading from downtown to northern neighborhoods, around 4:45 PM). The train is crowded, but not overly so. One seat remains empty. Two small bags sit on it next to a TEXTING WOMAN...

From Scott Tobias’ forthcoming A.V. Club interview with John Hodgman: ”Something in my DNA changed when I became a parent and I began to realize how fragile not only children’s lives are, but my own.” And that is some cold, hard truth from a funny man.

I very much enjoyed Steven Hyden’s interview with Ryan Adams today. I’ve followed Adams’ career since the Whiskeytown days, sometimes with frustration but usually with admiration. He often gets a bad rap for the wrong reasons: his voluminous output, his stylistic experimentation, his colorful interviews. There are legit complaints, to be sure. I’ve seen one awful Adams...

Possible reasons my dog made me take her out at...
1. Had to pee. (Probable. She peed.) 2. Had to poop (Unlikely. Did not poop.) 3. Poltergeists (Unlikely. Not real.) 4. Aliens (Deserves further study.) 5. The constantly barking dogs of the MacArthur Genius Grant-winning avant-jazz musician who lives across the street woke her up. (Highly possible.) 6. Free-floating ennui. (Unlikely. Dog is happy.) 7. TARDIS appearance. (Unlikely....

Tweet I tried to send from a dream last night:
“Watching crazy old footage of an Eagles concert where all of them wore wings and flew around. I turned to Gallagher and said ‘What the hell?’”

Gizmodo on the ONION paywall →
Damn straight: “All in all, sounds like a pretty reasonable plan, given that we’re talking about the consistently funniest site on the whole wide internet.” Look, I like free. And I’m glad The A.V. Club will remain free. But I think we’re going to end up seeing a lot more of these all over the Internet, and that’s OK. Sometimes, and this seems to have been...
