IS IT STILL OK TO LIKE ALLEGED CHILD MOLESTER WOODY ALLEN?

The Lost World of the London Coffeehouse

"No respectable women would have been seen dead in a coffeehouse. It wasn’t long before wives became frustrated at the amount of time their husbands were idling away “deposing princes, settling the bounds of kingdoms, and balancing the power of Europe with great justice and impartiality”, as Richard Steele put it in the Tatler, all from the comfort of a fireside bench.

The idea of "real food" is just snobbery. Everyone has the right to be healthy, even people who don't like vegetables."

"See, here’s the cool thing about getting older. You have less and less f*cks to give until one day, when you’re about 90, you have none left at all."
