I don’t know whether it’s more worthy of comment that I just watched somebody beating Tetris or that he did it in less than eight minutes.

Apparently I once purchased a CD (circular optical “compact” disk with digital music files) from Amazon.

You may have noticed that songs from “Is This It” by The Strokes, a CD you purchased in 2002, were added to your Cloud Player library. This means that high-quality MP3 versions of these songs are available for you to play or download from Cloud Player for FREE. You can find your songs in the “Purchased” playlist.

I hadn’t noticed.

Thanks, Amazon.

I just watched an episode of Girls and then an episode of Shameless. In both programs, some undesirable guy entered a lady’s dwelling unexpectedly (Adam in Hannah’s apartment; Frank in Sheila’s house). When asked how they managed to do it, in each case the guy said that he “still” had a key. Presumably Hannah and Sheila gave the keys to Adam and Frank some time in a previous season.

Television writers, please place a moratorium on this “I still had a key” trope for at least five years.

San Francisco homeless shelters have a new anti-violence rule, and some advocates for the homeless disagree with it. This city is so fucked up.

There are a lot more earthquakes in 2013 than there were in 2012.

Did Jews ever settle or hide among the Amish?
