You're probably thinking, "Jeez, Beck, that title is really rude and accusatory." While it's true that I am generally both of those things, the title is directed at myself, not you. Don't project; it's ugly. So why am I calling myself stupid? The usual reasons. Also: I haven't written in here in a long ass …

Alt-Right Vegans, Anti-Semitism, Twitter and Ricky Gervais
Warning: not going to talk about writing. This is Deep Thoughts with Beck. So yesterday I witnessed a Twitter implosion.

Laziness, Basic Bitches, Smoothies, DarkFuse and Rejection: Finding the Right Coffee Shop in Philly
Yesterday was President's Day, and I had the day off. I don't think I've ever had President's Day off, not in my entire career. It was kind of nice. I did the usual "it's my day off so I should do these things" bullshit, like dishes and vacuuming and admonishing the dog for being so …
