Why so cranky?

Ugly politics. Lazy journalism. Sh*tty software. Nutjobs. Cell phones at salad bars. Sloppy filmmaking. Littering. These are a few of my crankiest things.

I strive to be a distiller of life, a curator of cures, a dealer of dope stuff—trying to cure your crankies by snarking my way through all the week’s news. CY publishes special reports and is a safe space for whistleblowers. [ Tell Me More ]
