And so we finally come to the end. We are finally waking from our long global nightmare of disillusionment and ennui. Yes, Daniel Craig's reign of Emo Bond terror wraps up with No Time to Come Up With A Coherent Story in wide release this Friday.  I've read several reviews and

Whelp, for those of us on Uncle Sam's payroll, prepare your anus for another Republican Shutdownapalooza.  Yes, in the increasingly likely event that the GOP refuses to agree to a continuing resolution to keep government "discretionary" funding flowing, we're shutting back down at the stroke of Midnight Thursday evening, and

Congratulations, Canada. You managed to spend roughly $468 million to kick three Quebecois folks out of their legislative seats. California spent $275 million to make absolutely no changes, so...value? NFL NEWS: Relatively little of interest.

Can you feel it? Smell it on the wind, like the first hint of a rainstorm that will drown all Creation after years of dry, desperate living? It's coming. Meaningful football is coming. But not tonight. Tonight, there is Nothing again. Fuuuuuck. NFL NEWS: -Noted antivax shithead Cole Beasley is under quarantine for five

It's another Mid August Tuesday, bitches! And yooooouuu know what that meeeeeeans: Fuck All. It means Nothing. Not "nothing" in terms of relative unimportance or lack of distinguishing characteristics. Capital-N Nothing, as in a sheer and utter existential vacuum.

Hey, remember that big long screed I went on last week about how at least the Olympics were good to save us from the Summer Sports Doldrums? Yeah, now we don't even have. It's a bitter wasteland of both the eyes and the soul, where we must choose between godawful Trudge Time
