I’ve been drinking seltzer my whole life and I’ve never heard about a brand getting recalled. I keep shifting the blame between Coca-Cola buying the brand a few years ago and the federal agencies that oversee food safety getting gutted. Probably a combo of both. www.realsimple.com/topo-chico-r...

One of the (many) things I liked about Pee-wee as Himself is Paul Reubens dad was a cigar-chomping beefcake.

Something I think about a lot is the episode of Bourdain’s show where he goes to Atlantic City and talks about how Trump promised a casino would bring the city back to past glory and look what happened. I don’t want that happening to Coney Island. lunaparknyc.com/no-casino/?f...

Sorry, but somebody with a name like Whitney Tilson shouldn’t even be allowed in New York City.

Something I just learned about writing a novel is if you grew up going to a place that you end up writing a lot about in the story but hadn’t visited it since before you started writing the book, it’s a very emotional experience to go back for the first time.

For more than a year, I’ve been writing essays about Punk Planet, the miracle of a magazine I worked on for 13 years. All that time I’ve been dreading writing this ending, because the reality is this: Sometimes things end and you never get over it. dansinker.com/posts/202…

The Edmonton Oilers trying to bring the Stanley Cup to Canada for the first time in 32 year against an absolute trash bag team from Florida who play in an arena that has been named after 2 banks, a car rental company, and Office Depot, during strife between the two countries, is a dream matchup.
