So, the Raiders are out of the playoff race after losing to the Indianapolis Colts by only five points. I was hoping that Payton Manning’s slumpy, interception-heavy steez would reappear yesterday, but no dice. At this point I’m rooting against Oakland in their game against Kansas City next week. That way the Chiefs will be in a better position to beat out teams such as the Pittsburgh Steelers and...

“Freedom in freedom; freedom in constraint. The first is given, the second wrested from yourself. Because people go for what’s easy, and asceticism is exhausting, they prefer the freedom that’s given. But they may also secretly value the proscription that makes you find liberty within yourself.

“Waking began before you raised your eyelids. A few moments’ sloth and light was on the threshold, and the eye knew it was in action as the last images of dream mingled with the first of the ferns of Ajloun.

But on the other hand I know that’s ridiculous, and that the unfortunate fact of the matter is being angry wouldn’t have accomplished anything. M Kitchell provides some interesting insights related to the recent pulling of David Wojnarowicz’s experimental film Fire in My Belly from a Smithsonian...
