barthel: This is a great profile of Victoria Jackson by Gus Garcia-Roberts in the Voice. If you ever wondered how exactly she went from SNL and UHF to a recurring role on Fox News, this deep dive into her family history will leave you with little doubt. This is great. I related to someone just recently that based on her appearance on Celebrity Fit Club (which involved a visit to her vile, vile...

White House Caves on Defense Bill Veto Threat →
wilwheaton: The President will not veto the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) over provisions codifying the use of indefinite military detention on American soil. The NDAA is profoundly unconstitutional, and destroys the fundamental principle of Due Process that was part of the founding of this country. I expect this kind of tyranny from Republicans, and we saw a whole lot of it from...

Surely, this must be the absolute worst time to issue a tour announcement if you are in a band called The Twilight Sad? Every writer/blogger/critic out there is going to glance at their inbox and assume it’s yet another email about The Twilight Saga. Yesterday, I could understand. But the day of the release of the most anticipated sparkly vampire movie of the decade? You’re just asking...

Why Are X-Factor Albums So Bad? →
tomewing: Guardian column in which I hopefully demonstrate that the answer isn’t quite as stonkingly obvious as it appears, and also talk about bubblegum and its return in the form of Cher Lloyd’s (very good) record. Very interesting column, but the comments are depressing me. Instead of engaging with this idea in any meaningful way, it’s all just descended into a cliched list of why...

jonathanbogart reblogged your photo Because the Grand Canyon is the only thing that exists in Arizona? No, seriously, I don’t understand this one at all. I missed this reply the first time around. Let me clarify: I found this funny because I’ve lived most of my life in Arizona. Whenever this comes up with people who don’t live in or haven’t visited Arizona, they often ask me...

The Golden Age of Dirty Talk →
“We live in an impoverished wasteland of panda-like fucks so dull from overuse that they refuse to increase and multiply. It might be that the longer we swim in codes and memes, the blander our linguistic habitat becomes. The Internet is good for ideas, but synonyms don’t thrive in its universe. The web compresses language the way it compresses music into mp3s or images into GIFs....
