When it comes to my mobile games, I favor simplicity of structure above almost all else. Something to play on the train, in a dentist waiting room, in those few moments in bed before sleep, in which no real thought is required beyond the instantly dismissible attention time required to solve a puzzleābe it lexical,ā¦
You have already read the headline. I know that you do not want to hear this, and probably do not care, but I swear, it is appreciably and quantifiably better than any other streaming service. I say this as someone who was a fairly happy Spotify user for many years before finally switching to Apple Music earlier thisā¦
I like Nicolas Winding Refnās filmsāthe ending of The Neon Demon was enough to redeem that otherwise flawed film for me, though thatās a topic for another timeābut Iām a huge fan of his ongoing side gig as a film preservationist. He first caught my eye when he bought a collection of film prints by obscure exploitationā¦
Youāve probably heard this from a bunch of people already, but itās pertinent enough that I donāt really care about being repetitive: Go see Sorry To Bother You. Depending on when youāre reading this, you might still be able to catch it in theaters, but really, any way you can get it is good. Director Boots Riley hasā¦
Look, the secret is out: Nobody can really tell the difference between competing club sodas, and even individual flavors are tough for folks to identify when the brightly colored can is taken out of the equation. La Croix has been sitting pretty at the top of the sparkling-water mountain for a while, and that seemsā¦
Having recently succumbed to my ever-growing urge to join the āTV screen strapped 3 inches from my dumb faceā setāwhich is to say, I finally broke down and bought myself a PlayStation VRāIāve been casting around semi-desperately for a steady stream of new content to justify my ludicrous purchase. Few digitalā¦
Ah, the ā90s wave of teen-centric horror. Critically maligned (except for Scream, really) and scorned by horror fans for their seemingly milquetoast and sanitized scares, the films finally get a book-length appreciation in the form of Alexandra Westās treatise The 1990s Teen Horror Cycle: Final Girls And A Newā¦
At this point, itās safe to say the report of discoās death was an exaggeration. The backlash against it, culminating in 1979ās infamous Disco Demolition Night by an attention-hungry rock DJ, only accomplished sending disco back underground, back to all the othered communities to which it originally belonged. Fromā¦
I used to think it silly how wild people went over peaches or ramps or morelsāany highly seasonal crop that has a short window of availability. Something about the fervor rang false. Are they really that good? Any better than any other summer produce? It was all just a little too too. But now I think I get it. Itāsā¦
It is still possible, in 2018, to come across people who insist that hip-hop is some sort of ālesserā form of music. I know this because honest-to-god adults have said it to my face, quite earnestly. Itās all samples, theyāll cry, with no one actually pressing fingers to frets, no one reading sheet music! Rapping isā¦
I love monsters of all sorts, but some of my favorites are the traditional monsters from Japanese folklore collectively referred to as yÅkai. These creatures vary wildly in size and temperament from anthropomorphized household objects like karakasaāa lost umbrella with one eye and a long, floppy tongue that hopsā¦
Even when considered only at surface value, Slateās Slow Burn podcast is a great idea. Hosted and masterminded by reporter Leon Neyfakh, itās a miniseries that dives deep into Watergate, using audio clips from the era and new interviews with relevant parties to pick apart the scandal and the way it unfolded in theā¦
While in Vermont recently, I fell ill. Something was going around, and I got it. There was, as a local had said driving us into town a week earlier, one of everything where I would be staying, and I walked to the only grocery store to get drugs, feverish and wondering if someone had put a hex on me. Notoriouslyā¦
There are several things youāll want for an ideal bath, but there is only one thing you need: an overflow drain cover. (Iām assuming you already have a cover for the bottom drain if youāre a regular bath taker.) This stops water from escaping out of that annoying drain on the side of the tub, beneath the faucet, andā¦
