    Seconded.

    I’ve got a pair of Skullcandy Mods. The sound quality is decent but not stellar, battery life is good, charge time is good and they feel pretty solidly made. Pretty good deal for $40 on Amazon.

    I previously had some of their ANC overears that while not spectacular, were much better than I expected given the price point.







  • Coverage of politics became commodified and sensationalized in the name of ratings and advertising dollars and coupled with intense competition for viewer attention this has led to the news becoming more of a form of entertainment than anything informative.

    At the same time, voter apathy drives politicians to search for new ways to create interest, promote themselves, and generate a following.

    This promotes more and more sensational behavior, which is further played up by the media, which raises the bar for the kind of things a representative from a flyover red state hardly anyone cares about has to do to maintain a presence on the national stage.

    Repeat that cycle a few times and now congress is looking at Hunter Biden’s nudes.

    I would suggest ‘Amusing Ourselves to Death’ by Neil Postman for further reading.



  • I’ve worn a kilt to participate in Scottish heritage festivals and the Highland Games. It’s a far, far better garment than pants or shorts in hot weather and super comfy in general. Pants are great, but for just hanging around and casual wear kilts are amazing.

    Utilikilts (the ones with pockets) are awesome, but with a traditional kilt you can accesorize with a nice belt and sporran (the little pouch in front).

    All in all, I’d be really happy to see more kilts and similar garments in day to day men’s fashion.
