Ambivalence
via cajunboy:
We have to remember: There is nothing wrong with women writing about themselves, their youth, their indiscretions, their habits and values and personal development. Men have been writing about this stuff for thousands of years; they call it the canon.
And like their male contemporaries, a lot of this writing disappoints. When it does, there is nothing wrong with criticizing...

Anthony Lane pwns SATC
Lawnage:
Mr. Big not only buys her a penthouse apartment (“I got it”), he offers to customize the space for her shoes and other fetishes. “I can build you a better closet,” he says, as if that were a binding condition of their sexual harmony: if he builds it, she will come. The creepiest aspect of this sequence was the sound that rose from the audience as he displayed the finished closet: gasps,...

WATP at No. 11. I see very little relation to reality here, but what the fuck: We’re millionaires! Woooo! Fuck you, poor people!

tumblndice: Last night I dreamt I met Paul McCartney, hung out with him for a while, and the entire time I was overwhelmed with a body-numbing joy. I still feel on top of the world three hours after waking up. Thanks dream Paul…. I dreamed recently that I hung out with Barack Obama, and he scolded me for wasting my life on frivolity and selfishness. A few weeks later, I’m still kinda...

Weekend word association
As I continue to work on my own excessive wordiness — excessive wordiness! even that’s fucking redundant! — I attempt to sum up my weekend in as few words as possible. Off we go:
Friday: Release. House party. Horse. Unhinged. Drunk. Fun. Lots.
Saturday: Gross. Morning. There Will Be Blood. Chipotle. Best Buy. Vomit. Chipotle. Kanye. Absent.
Sunday: O’Malley’s....
I'm pretty proud of myself
I stayed away from Tumblr/Google Reader/Gmail/TEH INTERNET for a solid, like eight hours. I’ve found it’s easier when you’re drinking beer. And wine. And holiday atmosphere.
Anyway, I’m still proud. As for the rest of Tumblr, I’m pretty disappointed. The whole “Let’s stay away from the internet” thing was a massive fail today. Shame.
On the whole 60 Minutes vs. Millenials fiasco
topherchris:
To recap: 60 Minutes ran a piece saying that millenials (those born from 1980-1995) are lazy little pricks who put their yoga classes above work, among other things. This has caused a fervor online among individuals born, coincidentally, from 1980-1995. I shall summarize my opinion, as usual, in easy-to-digest bullet point form:
If you’re a millenial and offended by the video,...
