Colin Lokey, also known as “Tyler Durden,” is breaking the first rule of Fight Club: You do not talk about Fight Club. He’s also breaking the second rule of Fight Club. (See the first rule.) After more than a year writing for the financial website Zero Hedge under the nom de doom of the cult classic’s anarchic…
Over the years, Zero Hedge has proven to be a magnet for media attention. It started years ago with a NY Magazine article published in September 2009 which first “unmasked” the people behind Zero Hedge with the “The Dow Zero Insurgency: The nothing-can-be-believed chaos of the financial crisis created a golden opportunity for a blog…

I have to admit, it was not an easy decision to sue the New York Times, the company where I have worked for eight years in the advertising division. I’m a black woman in my 60s, and I’m currently battling multiple myeloma. But in recent years I have had a front-row seat to the Times’s…
If you loved Batman V. Superman there is nothing I can say that will change your mind. No force on Earth can go back in time and take away the rush of seratonin, adrenaline, and dopamine you felt watching the operatic and visually dense movie about 2 sad men with horrible interpersonal communication skills. But for…
Overwatch was announced at BlizzCon in 2014. It rose from the ashes of a longtime Blizzard MMO project called Titan, which had been in development for years and years only to meet the reaping scythe of cancellation. But Overwatch character Soldier 76 even predates that. Soldier 76 is Overwatch’s trusty Shoot Man. He’s a gruff…
There are a lot ways to go wrong in building a website, but this one is just unbelievable. So unbelievable that when designer Stelian Firez stumbed on it, all he could do is throw a screenshot up on Twitter with an “oh. my. god.” What madness is this? Yep, instead of a text field for…
Sins of last year’s second-best film costarring Oscar Isaac and Domhnall Gleeson. Next week: Might be a “sh*tty superhero movie” sighting. Remember, no movie is without sin!

One of the biggest challenges to fully appreciating The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is keeping up with the rapid-fire pace of its jokes, which are rattled off so quickly that you couldn’t possibly catch them all in one viewing. A prime example of this is the way that Titus seems to come up with at least…
A newly published study from Oxford’s Jon Penney provides empirical evidence for a key argument long made by privacy advocates: that the mere existence of a surveillance state breeds fear and conformity and stifles free expression. Reporting on the study, the Washington Post this morning described this phenomenon: “If we think that authorities are watching our online actions,…
