“The press can hold its magnifying glass up to our problems, bringing them into focus, illuminating issues heretofore unseen. Or they can use that magnifying glass to light ants on fire, and then perhaps host a week of shows on the dangerous, unexpected flaming ants epidemic. If we amplify everything, we hear nothing.” —

[this whole thing reminds me of the mad men pilot when roger says, “we live in troubling times,” and don says, “we do?”]

The reason I am linking to this is not because of my quasi-bandwagon-y status, but because I love profiles like this. These are the sorts of stories I want to be writing more.

I have begun watching Game 1 of the World Series, but never fear, #Giants fans — the second it looks like I’m jinxing things, I’ll stop.

I feel like I’ve been kinda dull recently. So, to make up for it, here is the best Dinosaur Comics comic ever written. http://bit.ly/czTgrR

Watching the Giants play baseball is making me homesick.

Mental note for next season: Actually go see a game at AT&T Park.

This is the stupidest call-to-action I’ve ever seen in my entire life. But of course, looking at the comments it seems to be working.

Dear Frank,

Happy almost-Halloween! The perfect time for a foray into that most classic of horror films, the 1968 “Night of the Living Dead.” I am usually a giant fraidycat during horror movies, but, fingers crossed, George A. Romero’s first foray into the zombie genre won’t have the truly scary stuff figured out yet.

Whoops! A little late today. But hopefully full of scares! Or socio-political commentary about the year 1968. Or cheap Darwin Awards jokes. Or Simpsons references. Hopefully at least one of those.
