Who Is Mr. Robot's Landlord? eps 2.7_init_5.fve

Sometimes, Mr. Robot seems like a meticulously designed set of nesting boxes. Expose the truth of one size box and it reveals only the smaller box beneath.

To me, this is one of the joys of watching this constantly challenging show. This week many nesting boxes were lifted, here is my take on what that lifting has revealed.

Expert Opinions: Rolling Stone Top 40 Punk Albums of All-Time List

In response to the release of Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "Top 40 Punk Rock Albums of All-Time," I started sending out requests to people I respect and asking each of them for 5 albums that they would have included.
