This guy on Grindr had “not into blanks” on his profile and I was on Urban Dictionary for like ten minutes trying to figure out what that means before realizing he meant to say “blacks.”

Not to diminish anyone’s feel-good-y Olympic experience (okay, to diminish it a bit): just a reminder that the spectacle you’re watching is driven at the top by greed and corruption:
Chris Lehmann writes:
The sitting head of the International Olympics Committee, Jacques Rogge, is a Belgian count and a retired competitive yachtsman—and that’s what passes for a crusading reformer in the...

“Culture makes all the difference.”
– Mitt Romney, explaining why Israelis are rich and Palestinians are poor. It’s good to know the occupation, subdivision and expropriation of West Bank land and water resources, multiple destructive wars and incursions, and the seizing of East Jerusalem has nothing to do with Palestinians’ states of...

NBC should create a “divers showering in slo-mo” montage, score it to bow-chicka-wow-wow music, and air it on the Today show. Ratings!

Men’s synchronized diving is actually a butts and abs competition. Also, men’s gymnastics is a who-has-the-hotter-biceps competition. This is fact.
It’s like watching Magic Mike, with a thin veneer of respectability applied.

Protesters in Washington State have found a way to fight hate speech: a demonstration outside of a military base led by the Westboro Baptist Church on Friday was upstaged by around 300 counter protesters, all clad as zombies.
Ok, so yay, right?
But check out the photo caption on this story: “Zombies march around streets of San Francisco giving out blood pops and stickers to...

But today the Internet is not as fast as it should be. While high...

It’s like it being difficult to keep from running into some one in real life: if you have mutual friends, odds are you will find yourself at a social gathering of some sort with someone you’d rather not see. The same thing happens online: someone I know reblogs or...
