Kids in the Hall are still one of my favorite comedy troupes. I recently started Netflixing the first season of their tv show and it stand up remarkably well, even all these years later. At least, it does for someone who came of age during the 80s – some of it may seem hopelessly dated …

I think anyone who dismisses Obama as nothing but a good speaker is missing the point …
While I haven’t read any of his work in years, Clarke’s novels had a major impact on my teenage imagination, from Childhood’s End to Rendezvous with Rama, he made the universe wonderful even if, at times, it might be challenging or even frightening to our fragile human minds and egos.
