Worst Concluding Paragraph EVER →
Does “furious interaction” mean “furiously ignoring people around you as hard as you possibly can?”

“I’d argue that New York and the Internet are about the same, in the way that a large bookstore feels like it offers just as many possibilities as Amazon.com—maybe slightly less inventory, but more opportunities to stumble on things you might...
Can we get this guy’s Flickr account name? He deserves a comment flaming more than anyone I’ve encountered in good long time.
Web Lesson #1: Everybody can see all the cool stuff you make. You get an audience for free.
Web Lesson #2: Act like a jerk to somebody and it spreads even faster than anything cool you made.

Anything else awesome happen on the internet besides chickens fighting rabbits?
Internet Vacation Time.
Perhaps this is somewhat ironic considering what I chose to name my tumblr, but I’m starting to get fearful that my productivity levels at work are reaching record lows.
My personal writing projects, screenplays, etc. are at a standstill and I’m even starting to get too lazy to play video games or watch those goddamn Netflix movies that I’ve held for way too long.
So from right...

What about “I’m Ronald Reagan - trust me, this will trickle down”
9-0
Simple. Tom Brady > Kerry Collins.
As sure as the sun will come out tomorrow, the Titans WILL lose before the playoffs.

Last year EVERYONE couldn’t stop talking about the 9-0 Patriots.
This year, not so much chatter about the 9-0 Titans. Not even from the Sports Media. Even in the Vegas sports book everyone thought the Bears would take them, but I kept saying, No,...

Tumblrs... What is your all time favorite movie......
Dear person I saw on the bottom of a long list of reblogs,
Please tell me you’re kidding.
If for some reason you aren’t, here are a list of similar and much much much better films that you should see as soon as you humanly can.
- Before Sunset - Before Sunrise - Harold and Maude - After Hours
If the joke’s on me, hey - those are still some good movies you should consider...
Tumblrs... What is your all time favorite movie......
The Godfather Part 2.
It’s not my favorite movie, but def. the one that fits best into this criteria.
I have rescheduled plenty of outings (in the dark pre-Tivo days) to continue watching this movie for the millionth time. Maybe I like seeing cool Havana before my Grandpa, Castro and his buddies tore it up or maybe Fredo breaks my heart every fucking time, but I am not changing the fucking...

Matt Drudge is bad at the internet.
Upon my latest semi-regular masochistic trip to the Drudge Report, I’m a little taken aback by the headline: “SICK SURVEILLANCE: GOOGLE REPORTS FLU SEARCHES, LOCATIONS TO FEDS.”
Tue Nov 11 2008 15:34:50 ET GOOGLE will launch a new tool that will help federal officials “track sickness”. “Flu Trends” uses search terms that people put into the...
Newt Wants To End Adolescence →
I’m going to give Newt enough credit for identifying the age where cultural learning is practically rotting minds (“consigning 13-year-old males to learning from 15-year-old males”).
But he’s liviing in a weird urban plantation fantasy if he thinks enlisting youth labor or paid learning is the real solution to these problems. Educational systems need to identify the real...
Supreme Court Debates F-Word Without Using It →
Despite evidence to the contrary, this is actually a legitimate news story and not an Onion article.
Choice quotes:
“Why do you think the F-word has shocking value?” Robert asked rhetorically. “It’s because it’s associated with sexual or excretory activity; that’s what gives it its force.”
Added Scalia, “that’s what gives it its’...

As for racism in America
This is the worst logic ever. So let’s say you and I were friends as kids and your mom offered to give me a ride to school. If I say “I’m about to get a ride to school from MuppetPants’ mom” it doesn’t mean that I’m factoring her being your mom into my decision to get a ride from her, it means that I’m getting a ride to school from your mom.
