Of course he would pick the Scientology headquarters as the first date of a tour wherein he will pass off pseudo-smart/witty raps (AND BEING LOUD) as good rap.

– Andre 3000 (via jessethorn) I have intensely mixed feelings about this quote. It’s a nice sentiment in theory but the actual output of its source isn’t working in its favor. Because uh… nobody wants a damn Andre 3000 toothbrush! And I sincerely doubt that Andre 3000 possesses the skills necessary to...

An hour or so after the Republican debate in... →
As a liberal, I can’t help but read about Republicans being as internecine as us Democrats are supposed to be with glee, but John Heilemann’s stupendous New York piece on the Republican presidential primary season has a half-dozen killer details and some great long-view thinking. And I don’t even disagree with his conclusion about the potential for renewal of American...
First thing I have been jealous of my roommate sitting in his room and watching at full blast on the weekend while I am working/”working”: Chris Farley’s SNL special.
isabelthespy asked: if you could have one superpower what would it be and why? what is a really fond childhood memory? what is your stance on nutella? what was the best moviegoing experience you've had? if you could be an Olympic gold medalist what sport would it be at? what is something you are really proud of?

allimmaturityandallcaps:
1. Copy a selection of text that is unusual enough to get you a solid search result. Copying the dateline—probably no good. Copying generic who/what/when/where/why text—also probably no good. Copying specific details given three paragraphs down in the article—probably going to get some results for the thing you are trying to verify. When selecting text to copy, look for...

Eat things, people. If you do not eat things except a “small” soda, a banana, a glass of chocolate milk, and a bowl of cereal between dinner on one day and 3:00 p.m. the next day, you will be hungry enough to distract yourself from class. And by you I mean I.
This deathless sociology class is so slow and bogged down in rudimentary theory (I and me, today!) that I’m convinced...

Many of the things that made my living conditions depressingly awful have rectified themselves (via using my legs and my car and so on to not be here) or been rectified (via communication!), but them insisting on having the A/C off when it’s as warmish and humid as it is right now (66 at 1:25 a.m., in case you really needed to be jealous, but also icky and wet) is just the sort of thing...

I will buy a console and all of the Mass Effect games based on this article alone.
Also the trailer for the game looks sweet.
This sounds like THE GREATEST VIDEOGAME OF ALL TIME. I wouldn’t even have dared to imagine a game so awesome. Surely, after reading this article, the actual game could only be a disappointment.
The Mass Effect series is just about the most...

So Yahoo Sports is talking about UF politics…
I dunno if I’d go with “talking about UF politics”; “regurgitating nearly wholesale a thing I wrote and introducing multiple fact errors with less precise writing” seems fairer, but, then, I don’t get nearly the traffic Yahoo! does.

I have very few Rihanna/Chris Brown opinions (well, that aren’t about their music; both were on my Pazz ‘n Jop ballot), but I do wonder this: If it was Denise Richards making a movie with Charlie Sheen, or even Keira Knightley working with Michael Fassbender again, would we have nearly the same hue and cry?

Nike's new marketing mojo →
Because I read about far too much Nike stuff for someone who hasn’t ever owned a pair of non-soccer, non-basketball Swooshes: I find it really interesting that not only is Nike smartly moving away from spending megazillions on TV buys and toward trying to strike gold with digital, it’s diminishing its reliance on the major agencies that create those spots, like Wieden + Kennedy.
But,...
