BROTHER GORILLA [Part 1]
Michael Greenwell —
Authority: 115
This is the first part of an only tangentially related two-part post. There is a famous song by French anarchist George De Brassens that will be part two, but in this first part I just want to post a little film I made to show that the term “Brother Gorilla” is not actually that far from the truth.

Sporting Madness —
Authority: 125
An omnipresent but under-discussed element of sports in our modern era is the significance of the story. We often tend to think of stories as just factual representations of what goes on in a game, but the sheer amount of action involved in sports means they have to be both more and less then that. A breakdown of ...2 weeks ago -

BitchBuzz: Douglas Adams & Dolphins
Wombat's World (a blog for writer K. A. Laity) —
Authority: 121
My latest column for BitchBuzz was sparked by a story about dolphins and television. Seems they figured it out pretty quick, unlike simians who had to be coached in the ways of the box. I shudder to think how much they laughed to see what humans do with their non-nautical time: At the moment of Earths destruction, ...2 weeks ago -
