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.

Christmas comes a day early to the Roger site in the form of our 2nd trailer for the upcoming feature length motion picture film about skateboard mens that we’re producing.

SILENCE STILL = DEATH by M Kitchell at HTMLGIANT →
Hell, basically the fact that I did anything other than “be angry” is making me feel guilty. 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...
