Looking for a word to describe the strange end-of-year limbo we’re in, where it seems like things are incredibly hopeful and incredibly the worst. I feel like after six years, everybody just figured out or decided to accept how bad things really are, but nobody was ready to admit it till Obama was already elected. I feel validated my worldview is now a matter of public opinion and then...

whatevs:
So yeah, I’m kind of just realizing that I got started at my new job and didn’t really tell anyone about it (except if I’ve seen you in person). So yeah, your Uncle Grambo is a new(ish) Editor over at Vulture (New York Magazine). So yeah, I’ll still Tumble (Tumbl?) once or twice a day (or however often the mood strikes), but you can find me all day, every day over...

Whatevs: Selected Excerpts from The Grizz's...
Grizz: So what was recovery like? Did you have bruised ribs?
Noel: Three broken, and I had five bruised ribs. I was just laid up in the house for five weeks.
Grizz: Boring.
Noel: Well, you should see my house, it's hardly boring. It's fucking awesome.
Grizz: Did you stay in bed, or did you tool around the house?
Noel: I've got a 1 year old son who requires a lot of attention, and it was kind of a bit weird not being able to play with him, kind of thing. I kind of sat, lying on the couch, watching TV, eatin foods that was bad for me and not getting any exercise, all that kind of shit.
Grizz: What'd you watch on TV, anything good?
Noel: Constant football. Football and, you know, the Discovery Channel. Shit about sharks, stuff like that.
Grizz: You don't have a computer at all?
Noel: Are you drinking while you're speaking to me?
Grizz: No, I'm not.
Noel: You know, my fucking girlfriend does that and it's really fucking annoying.
Grizz: No, I'm not drinking.
Noel: You are, you took a sip of a drink just then.
Grizz: I did not take a sip of a drink.
Noel: Well you swallowed really fucking loudly.
Grizz: I did, yeah.
Noel: Right then, so don't swallow loudly on the phone. If I don't swallow loudly, you shouldn't. Carry on.

– I love the subtle art of “fuck-you” facts that defines the best modern entertainment journalism.
