Bad Education →
The Project On Student Debt estimates that the average college senior in 2009 graduated with $24,000 in outstanding loans. Last August, student loans surpassed credit cards as the nation’s largest single largest source of debt, edging ever closer to $1 trillion.

catbus:
When this happened to Michigan a few years back (fucking copycat motherfuckers, all of you) and it became clear that a government shutdown meant every beer store in the state was going to close in the middle of college football season, the state government was only closed for a few hours before legislators pulled themselves...

essayist:
By Steve Albini Whenever I talk to a band who are about to sign with a major label, I always end up thinking of them in a particular context. I imagine a trench, about four feet wide and five feet deep, maybe sixty yards long, filled with runny, decaying shit. I imagine these people, some of them good friends, some of them barely acquaintances, at one end of this trench. I also imagine...

4-Hour Dentist
Listen: I was once just like you — weak, pathetic, not practicing dentistry. I was a lonely turd spiraling down the toilet of life. Now I’m the most successful dentist in the fucking cosmos. Wake up!

Literally I had to try and explain this to someone last night in a bid to account for my guffaws. It didn’t work out well.
The Krucoff pretzel crisps story went over, though.
