“Saying he had ‘no problem with somebody being really, really wealthy,’ Reid sat...”
– The Huffington Post reports on a particularly damning accusation about Mitt Romney from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. (via mattwilstein)
Huh. Well that is certainly something interesting

Yeah. I mean, I don’t know if I buy it, but remember when we spent four...

The plot of the third Hobbit movie will be Bilbo and Smaug solving a murder together.
Smaug finally dies by jumping to his death to save Bilbo from being shot by unseen archers.
The end.
I just want everyone to remember that I hated the LotR movies before Jackson ruined them with his self-written prequels.
Remember all the stuff he added in those movies? And how it was better...

All money raised by the "Misandry in Video Games"... →
coelasquid:
There has also been some doubts regarding what will we do the money - I thought we made it pretty clear from the get-go, but some people seem to still having doubts about it! If we don’t hit our goal, our money goes back to the backers. If we (hopefully!) reach our goal, out of the money we raise a total of 4% will go to Indiegogo as per their terms of use. From the remaining 96%,...

Best line: Still, that represented a major step forward from the ancient Olympics, in which women weren’t allowed to compete under penalty of death.

TW: suicidal ideation
femme-a-lenvers:
I am really irrationally mad at all of these guys who keep bothering me because they want to fuck me even though I keep telling them “not tonight, I have been depressed for weeks and am contemplating suicide or checking myself in to a psychiatric hospital”.
Like, seriously.
Is there a stronger signal that I could be giving right now that this is just not going to happen?

Good problems?
My fiancée is trying to get me to hit on one of the women in our wedding party.
I think my new favorite creepy antifeminist dude trope is “I was raised by feminists so I know what they’re like”.

met at Smuggler’s cove, had some firey drinks, tried to help you get into that cute girl’s eyeline.
we left
went to the hearth, drank and deciphered it was taxi driver on the tv and resident evil on the other one.
I held that…
It’s weird when you and Vaccerelli know the same people.
who? what are you talking...

But isn’t that kind of everyone’s, knee-jerk, egotism-masquerading-as-loathing reaction? I’m so special-fucked-up, no one can ever love me?
Probably? I think that fairly describes it for me, at least.

you know what’s really funny? when you tell people you got laid off and they ask, “what are you going to do??” dude, I don’t fucking know, it just happened an hour ago. I didn’t quite finish the power point of my 5 year contingency plan while I was sobbing on the bus home.

New glasses, haircut, thinner face because I’m losing weight since dropping gluten.
I look different. It’s subtle, but it’s weird.
I think I’d fuck me.

Can someone explain the appeal (aside from HUGE ROBOTS) to me?
Toys that are also mechanical puzzles that turn into other toys.
I never understood people who were into the fandom and never had the toys, though. Nor people who cared about just collecting the toys and not the mechanical puzzle.

femme-a-lenvers:
I am 90% sure that I am getting stood up right now because in the email thread, she responded to the part about meeting on Sunday, but not to the one about meeting at 11 for brunch.
This restaurant is really crowded, and it’s open seating, so I would have to order my food and fight for a table…
Fifteen minutes and yes.
Grandma Zeigler Stories III
“If anyone hurt you two boys,” she said, meaning my brother and me, her only grandchildren.
“If anyone hurt you two boys, I would have them killed. I know who to call.”
Grandma Zeigler Stories II
She waved me over, and I leaned in close. She couldn’t speak very loudly any more.
“Don’t tell your grandfather,” she said, “but I think I’m going to vote for that black boy.”
Grandma Zeigler Stories
We always used to talk about science, whatever we’d run into that was new and interesting. One time–I forget the context–I brought up the then-new research indicating that womb conditions after having multiple boys seem to have a tendency to trigger genetic preconditions that cause a boy to be gay. Grandma misunderstood what I was saying, and thought that I was implying that being gay was a...

Oh, look at me, inspiring blog posts like the BAMF I am.
Lately I have been seriously considering the impact that UI/feature availability has on the quality of interaction on social networking sites. (An actual, crazy part of my brain is considering trying to get into grad school to study this.) And there are two issues with OkC which come to mind when reading this blog post:

What’s really sad is that I bet he thinks he killed that night.

Pheromone parties are the latest dating fad in New York and Los Angeles. Will they come to Boston? Maybe, but I doubt that the trend will last here. The city may test its olfactories but I think too many are too scientifically exacting to have this craze catch on. Also, personally, while I appreciate a person’s natural scent, I appreciate more the deliberation of a chosen scent. The...
