The fact that Disney allows Chris Brown on one of its signature shows on its premier network is not just cynically amoral. It’s nihilistic.
Lost Followers are Lost
So, when I deleted my Tumblr, I lost a ton of followers. I’ve gotten a good amount back—good in the sense that I’ve gotten most of the ones I care most about back—but it’s still a fraction of what I have before. And that’s a stupid saying because everything is always a fraction of something else.
I don’t have the same impulse to post because it’s a...
This Ina Garten Debacle.
lazybookreviews:
I’m glad she’s going to do it (not that I imagine she OR the child will enjoy it, after all this hoopla), but I think the public shellacking has been beyond inappropriate.
All I can think of is: “WHO? WHO DOES NOT WANT TO WEAR THE RIBBON?”
I also think she’s taking more flak because she’s a woman, and that we’d be more likely to assume that, you know, Bobby Flay didn’t agree...

I’m totally Tim. From the British Office. The better one. It’s kind of obscure. You wouldn’t get it.

YOU GUYS, I AM TOTALLY PREGNANT, and it has been IMPOSSIBLE not to tell you!!!!!!
I have SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT IT, like “SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT” and “Do we have to start eating while sitting down at a table now, like GROWN-UPS?” and “WILL THE BABY BE LAZY, OR INDUSTRIOUS??”
Industrious Husband,…

I hope people fill us in on the Tumblr reading tonight! If only there was a means of showing people photographs and writing records of such an event!
Everyone else is bored with the internet, right?
I have 800,000 followers. This is what my mom tells me. She’s the one who manages my account.

Can the sports media be any more naked in their desire for a great white hope in the NBA? Jimmer is a stupid name.

Tumblr wanted to set up donations for Japan earlier, but its servers kept crashing.
Manhattan Vs. Lolita, Part II (I think)
In Lolita, Nabokov used language to show us that beautiful prose will make us forget that the character created by that prose is morally repugnant. Nabokov hated polemicists and polemics (in art at least) and Lolita was meant to prove that style was the only thing that mattered, although it isn’t and even Nabokov didn’t believe it. He just wanted to try to prove it.
In Manhattan,...

They are laughing at your frustration.
The Dailywhat actually reblogged something? With credit? It’s a brand new world.
I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a movie with Elizabeth Taylor.

Portlandia is just Lake Woebegone for Generation X. And I say this as someone who couldn’t hate Garrison Keilor more.
It doesn’t help the its lead in is The Onion News Network, which is some of the greatest satire I’ve ever seen. It gives me chills.

Why do people hate Garden State so much? I mean I get why they hate it, but so much? I don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad as this. I think it’s gotten to that point that a lot of things get where people hate it reflexively because they would look so crazy to their friends if they didn’t. This is also true for a lot of things that people pretend to love, especially...
Otis Killed Bill Henrickson?
No…Yes.
There’s also that dark side to the nose ring.
Android phones.

There are more smartphones running the Android OS than iPhones.
They are faster than iPhones.
The majority of Android phones cost less than iPhones. Sometimes, they’re free.
So if you don’t have an Android, well, then… it’s none of my God-damned business.
I don’t know that I’ve ever purchased any object that I’ve loved more than my HTC EVO.

Haha…hear that Sprint? That’s the sound of your demise…
That’s bad for the consumer though. I’ve been on Sprint for 10 years and have never had any problems. If we only have two carriers, one shitty and the other over-priced, we all suffer.

– “Our Approach: KIPP Bayview Academy”. Saw this phrase on the back of a teen kid’s Bayview t-shirt the other night. And, while I’m not a fan of overly pithy platitudes, goddamn if that’s not a pretty great one. (via merlin)
