Levin is one of my favorite contemporary authors, and I think Bubblegum is a masterpiece. It is the fictional memoir of Belt Magnet (a neurotic man child who can speak to inanimate objects) about living in an alternate world where the internet was never invented. It’s lowbrow, it’s highbrow, it’s sad, it’s funny, and it made me rethink my general distaste for contemporary literature. -Jack

Again, I'm using this category as an umbrella so I can list my favorite movies that I think by watching will make everyone's life better or at least distract you from whatever bullshit is going on in your own life for a moment, and put a smile on your face. Maybe you'll even relate to what the characters in the films are going through and you'll feel a little bit less alone and it will change your life forever. These are my favorite movies that I watch over and over again: An Unmarried Woman, Swingers, Annie Hall, Broken English, Girlfriends. Last Days of Disco, and Hannah and Her Sisters. And one of my favorite theaters to watch movies in in New York City is Metrograph. A sanctuary. A safe haven. The programming is extraordinary. And they have a wonderful restaurant upstairs called The Commissary. Run don't walk.

I like having a historical record of the shows I've been to, and I'm sad that many places don't do physical tickets anymore. How do we fix this? Does anyone know a guy?

Unlike a bath where you stew in self hatred, a shower offers a continuous flow to wash the shame as each new thought appears. -Davis

Something fun I learned while on a rock climbing trip in Kentucky. Best done outside in the cold, but you could also do it in your kitchen. Lay a paper towel on tinned fish in oil, let it soak up the oil, and light it on fire from the edges. Let it burn for 5-10 minutes, warm your hands, revel, enjoy community, lift the paper towel off, and enjoy smoked fish. -Jack

Online gaming has never been a safe space, and chess is no exception. It’s a game of war: show your opponent who’s boss, get chat banned, live to chat again. -Jack
