Pretty sure that if Bon Iver had made more references to fucking white girls on his new album, Pitchfork would have knocked him up to that 10.0. Maybe.
this was great, and while it's sad that this is still an issue, seeing this quote yesterday made me kind of happy (via the internet)
"We're losing on that one, especially among the 20- and 30-somethings: 65 to 70 percent of them favor same-sex marriage. I don't know if that's going to change with a little more age — demographers would say probably not. We've probably lost that. I don't want to be extremist here, but I think we need to start calculating where we are in the culture." —Jim Daly, president of the far-right social issues group Focus on the Family, on marriage equality.
The best part of Puppy Cam (besides EVERYTHING!) is that this is only the beginning. We get weeks of them getting bigger and awesomer and cuter and playfuler.
Happy day, indeed.
remember when John Hodgman used to be in Apple ads? I mean, those were a little annoying (thanks, Justin Long), but this just seemed a little sloppy and unprofessional.
"and I thought my parents were abusive!"

This has bummed me the fuck out (and I spent the entire day really excited about a concert. Like dancing around my office.)
Anyways, the best we can do is step away from this determined to be better people and rise above this ignorant hatefulness. We may not be able to change how narrow-minded, angry, scared people think or behave, but we can do our best to be better people and make some positive impact on the world where they can't. Maybe something will rub off.
(that's my motivational speech for the day. but mostly said for my own benefit. shit that's fucking depressing)
My aunt used to teach here, and it's really just one of the worst schools in a city full of major problems. This just makes me sad. Institutional something-or-other.
I don't hate this movie, but I do hate the fact that Hugh Grant's role was clearly written for someone older (he's supposed to be Emma T's older brother and there are multiple mentions of how old he is) and no one bothered to make some very basic script revisions.
Get it together, England.
Chicago Monsters can attest that is is pretty standard for the WGN morning news. Professionalism isn't their number one attribute, but they're fun to watch.
