– Code Pink’s Medea Benjamin defends “heckling” President Obama. (via mediaite)
Heckling a speech is actually very rude, and Code Pink should be proud that they were rude. Isn’t that the whole point? Why show up to a speech and yell at the President if you aren’t hoping to disrupt the...

– You guys. I seriously think in about 20 years New York City will be nothing but a series of shiny, square, luxury rental buildings with ground-floor Starbucks/CVS/Bank of America locations. This makes me sad all the...

What’s the saying? “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle”? Or, was it “Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the...
Tornado Survivor Finds Dog During TV Interview →
spotastic:
My husband has asked me one time too many if I would eat my dogs in order to survive. The answer is no.
A lot of people don’t understand the bond some people have with their dogs and that is okay. I fucking love mine, and after watching this I kissed their faces until they growled at me.
Such a scary tragic event that happened in Oklahoma. Moments like this keep you going.

I love everyone in the mainstream media today talking about Tumblr like they know all about Tumblr.
“It’s full of porn!” they say. ”Tumblr hasn’t succeeded in mobile!” they also say.
“WTF are y’all talking about?” asks everyone actually on Tumblr.
I will admit I often forget that there is porn on Tumblr until I click on something unfortunate.

Dear Coquette: On vague existential threats →
dearcoquette:
Every once and a while I feel this intense fear knowing the state of our environment and the imminent carbon fueled suffocation of the human race. I feel this intense sense of foreboding when I think about the future. We’re all driving our Co2 spouting automobiles headfirst in to the apocalyptic…

Available June 1, possibly sooner. We’re in Bushwick, minutes from the Morgan L and just blocks from the Myrtle JMZ. It’s only a couple stops from Williamsburg, and it takes about 30 min to get to Union Square / Chelsea / Flatiron, 20 to the Lower East Side and Chinatown. The area’s starting to take off now, with several new restaurants and bars within a block of us. There’s a...

The Number 1 Best Cold Open Of The Office.
Remember when The Office landed the coveted post-Super Bowl slot? It was a breathe of fresh air after several years of hour long dramas (even though Kyle Chandler on Grey’s Anatomy was riveting). Sometimes you just want to laugh after watching your favorite team lose the most coveted game of football. And the show delivered show much...
