We just made this. It’s a little bit of work but OH MY GOD I AM MAKING THIS ALL THE TIME NOW.

He looks like he is thinking deep cat thoughts.
Yes, he was trying to decide how he was going to annoy me next, since I had taken everything off the nightstand that he could possibly throw to the floor.
Asshole.

I agree with you. But to be fair, Twitter has received its fair share of hate over the years, and there’s still the “who cares what you had for breakfast?!” crowd.
Certainly it does, but a lot of that comes from people who are not themselves avid social media users. A lot of the Pinterest hate comes from...

I can’t help but think that a lot of the Pinterest hate is simply because it’s used primarily by women, and feminine = frivolous and therefore inherently worthy of mockery.

Bicycling is a lot harder when you have your bag...
Doubly so when you work on the Internet and your bag of daily crap includes a laptop. But I did about 14 miles today with that bag on my back and that means I am awesome.
Tomorrow will be nice enough that I could conceivably do it again, but I have dance class, and that’s just crazy talk.

Tie in the leg of your yoga pants facing the chain. Trust me on that one.
They’re short enough that they don’t actually reach the chain, but I have reflective ankle straps for exactly this purpose!

The only problem with this story is that it’s on the Daily Mail website, which I refuse to read on principal.
So yeah, I agree with you as a general rule, but the quote entertained me so much I went with it. Alas.

So who’s going to start the “Martin Freeman’s Got Game” Tumblr?
Tumblr is magical when Kate and Guille drink.
But it’s even better at the bar.

Sorry for the Chuck spam, kids.
But since I’m still really bummed out by the end of my beloved diner, I’m taking a minute to focus on something else awesome that at least got to end on its own terms.

GOP Nostalgia is a Symptom of Privilege →
Author Melissa Harris-Perry recently appeared on “The Colbert Report” to speak about her new book, Sister Citizen, which examines a number of stereotypes of African-American women. As he often does, Colbert teed up a common conservative talking point about “going back to he good old days.” Perry’s response kept ringing in my head for days afterward.
She said that there is no time in American...

I went to see this exhibit yesterday in the little bit of free time I had yesterday before we had to hop the train up to Davis to meet Tom’s folks. It was ridiculously cool, and I’m sorry I only had about an hour and a half to get through it because I missed everything on the third floor. I could have spent that amount of time just one the one 8”x30’ painting of a Dussehra...

When Profits Can Take a Back Seat to Doing Good -... →
An alternate form of incorporation designed to let company leadership pursue social good ahead of profits without fear of investor lawsuits.
I don’t know nearly enough about corporate law to know if this is a good solution, a solution in search of a problem, or what, but I thought the idea sounded interesting.
