Color me bemused and unamused. Is this supposed to be some weird performance blogger art thing? Edgy editorialism? It's utterly bizarre on a site that depends so much on its commenting community. Is it the power trip? I mean, you could have just posted the damn thing and disabled comments. Instead, it's inviting commenter self-distruction. I've found myself visiting Gawker less and less over the past month or so...maybe it's time to just DTMFB(ookmark)A.
As someone who continues to struggle with The Inappropriate Crying Jag herself, I love that she went public with it and is able to laugh at herself. And sloths are pretty awesome, too.
Over-processed, pre-packaged pop stars have been around for a while. If that sort of thing turns you off, don't listen to their music when given a choice and actively support actual musicians. You will be better able to assess who a real musician is when you see him or her live. While you can't escape top 40 entirely, it's not difficult to avoid a lot of it. With the Internet, it's easier than ever to find lesser known (and less processed) music.
I wish I could be shocked that this came from the state that brought us the Giffords shooting. That was the work of a mentally disturbed man. This is just the work of idiots.
As a digital media educator, Picnik was a major tool in my toolbox. Students and teachers alike love its ease of use, and teachers love that kids don't have to sign in to use it (seriously, making kids sign into anything takes up at least 5 minutes of class time between forgotten passwords, usernames, etc.).
I switched to electronic cigarettes, and have slowly reduced the nicotine concentration in the juice. I hardly ever vape anymore, but am glad to know I have it to fall back on instead of cigarettes. It's the only thing that's worked for me. YMMV.
Really? I tried watching it and couldn't deal with the largely one-note downstairs characters and actors unable to shift delivery from stage to TV. Gave up after season 1. Does it get better?
I don't think Amazon sets the ebook prices--publishers do. (And ebook prices that are higher than physical book prices are ebooks I don't buy. Screw 'em.)
