Alan Moore being interviewed by the BBC. I think it’s wonderful, even though I wanted to kick the interviewer repeatedly.

…I think we are terrible animals. And I think our planet’s immune system is trying to get rid of us and should.

Danish: god you’re dumb
me: why are you talking to me
Danish: why are YOU talking to ME
me: bc you messaged me to engage me in an argument about something i liked
Danish: well i wanted to know what you liked about this video and you have yet to explain it
me: okay you really want me to write like, a full essay on my feelings about this
Danish: i want you to write one to two sentences about why that video is compelling
me: 1. i also have enjoyed a few sloth videos on the internet in recent times & understand why someone would be so into them; 2. i think dax & kbell are a cute couple; 3. i think thats a real creative gift to give a sloth fanatic & a kind of adorb use of “celeb rich person” power in a gift; 4. i find her “outside 3-7” emotion scale kinda funny, as i know ppl like that irl & they also crack me up; 5. the joke ellen plays on her at the end is hilarious & my fav part of the video

Early Bird Special: Good morning! The market is on the brink of collapse, Goldman Sachs rules the world, and traders are going to sleep at night dreaming of another recession because they see it as an opportunity to cash in.

Oh, did I say good morning? I meant STOCK UP ON CANNED GOODS morning.

UPDATE: Yes Men: “We’ve never heard of Rastani. He isn’t a Yes Man. He’s a real trader who is, for one reason or another, being more honest than usual.”

If you’re unfamiliar with JB Smoove, then you obviously don’t care about comedy, racial stereotypes, or America. JB plays Larry David’s freeloading roommate Leon Black on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm—one of the most consistently hilarious parts on television. Part of Leon’s appeal is that the character is dangerously close to being a racial caricature, and it’s impossible for white people (i.e., Curb’s audience) to do an impression of him without sounding at least a teensy bit racist. But that’s the subtle brilliance of JB Smoove. You can’t tell if he’s poking fun at Larry David’s nervous hand-wringing about race, or if Leon Black is Jar Jar Binks with better jokes and timing.

VICE: You’ve had some great quotes on this season of Curb, but you’ve also left us guessing. Help me out with this: Where exactly in New York does somebody get a croissant filled with “motherfucking champagne”? 
JB Smoove: You can have anything you want put in that shit if you have the right amount of money and friends like Larry David. You can get a croissant filled with ladies, a croissant filled with champagne, anything you want or desire. Your hopes and dreams can be in that goddamn croissant. You just have to ask for it. “Hey, I need some hopes and dreams put inside this goddamn croissant.” They’ll say, “You know what? I can do that for you.”

I need an address. Or at least a restaurant name. 
It’s every restaurant in New York City. Every restaurant in the world. You just have to say, “I’m friends with Larry David.” How about a croissant filled with ass? You can get that! The French are very open people. You know that a croissant was created by the French, right?

I am aware. But I’m not sure they’d like to take credit for these croissants filled with ass. 
Different things taste different depending on where you’re from and your background. A black person has a different type of tongue than a white person. You might have taste buds that like frog legs or caviar. I have a fried chicken taste bud. I have a potato-salad-and-cornbread taste bud. You understand?
