Gaga has the best album of the year.
I was kind of partial to the silent parts.
Also, insert “Pants On The Ground” joke wherever.

Friday Night Outrage!
hman:
OK! so I guess my best plan of attack in regards to the Martha Stewart posting of her dog Franny dressed ‘in a turban’ as a Sikh or Hindu LOL, is leaving a comment on the page, which I did. AWAITING MODERATION WTF.
In regards to Next Magazine’s story about Canadians in New York where they said:
“Sure, Illegal Mexicans might be a visible threat to hard working American’s jobs during...

Paragons of fiscal discipline, every Senate Republican today voted against reestablishing “pay-as-you-go” budgeting rules that mandate that any new spending must be paid for. The rule passed on a 60-40 party line vote.
CAN WE ALL STOP PRETENDING THAT THE GOP IS THE PARTY OF FISCAL DISCIPLINE NOW PLEASE?
I mean, come ON.

– James Fallows, in a devastating piece on American decline. He seems to be saying that what we think are the real problems are just mirages that distract us from more insidious structural decay and a calcification of the democratic institutions that got us this far - but may not have the agility to...

Until D.A.D.T. is ended, the military will be doing its homosexual service members an injustice. Perhaps the most eloquent remark made by advocates against D.A.D.T. was made by a Republican senator, Barry Goldwater, who said: “You don’t have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to be able to shoot straight.”

Toilet Paper →
sistermarymartha:
I like mine under. Lawrence likes his over. And yeah, yeah, I know, when it’s over you can fold it in a triangle all pretty like for your guests or whatever, just like they do in hotels, BUT I DON’T LIKE IT.
You know why? Because sometimes when you pull the roll, it gets ahead of itself and then you have unraveled toilet paper and that is not necessary.
So anyway, since I am...

Wake up and read this NYT article - a horrible murder of a 71-year-old in a jewelry store he worked at because he wouldn’t turn over any jewels. On Madison Avenue, in broad daylight, as they say. Terrible way to go. But then you notice his last name and you think ‘Huh.’ It’s not too unusual, but just unique enough to consider.
And then you read the Post story, with pretty much the...

The Future of Designed Content →
fimoculous:
Read this, really. The conclusion (Gawker Media as the future of designed content) is speculation that seems unlikely, but as an alternate history, it should be exhilarating for both designers and content creators.
(Robin is on such a roll lately, it’s amazing.)
This is amazing. It’s the best defense of Gawker as a trailblazing media entity that I’ve read, and I love...

No, but this ad makes me want to punch YouTube in the face.
Is that cyber-bullying? I better be careful.
There will always be mean, ignorant twats on the Internet, which makes a campaign against mean people on the Internet seem a bit like trying to get rid of porn on the Internet. Utterly pointless.
Maybe instead of indulging our inner victims with PSA twaddle like this, we should grow thicker...
