Try this: play Jesus and Mary Chain’s “Here Comes Alice,” followed by the Las’ “There She Goes,” followed by Velvet Underground’s “There She Goes Again,” followed by Hall and Oates’ “She’s Gone.”

I’ve never seen this “Klout” page before, but they’re algorithm is amazing. Spot on.

Nobody ever believes it when I tell them I’m one of the world’s foremost authorities on Coldplay, vikings and science. But now I’ve got a website to back me up.

Thanks to that awful Supreme Court ruling, the right wing has a huge money advantage in the PAC and Super-PAC world. From Mother Jones.

Another week, another airport. This time it’s San Diego. (I’m pretty sure it’s actually this blurry, too.)

My fifth trip since the end of August. Shit’s getting old.
