GRPN vs. BDNK (Or: The Battle Between My Fat, Pale... →
I had been decent—not great, but good enough—about going to the gym regularly prior to this. I guess if you weren’t me and knew this, this would kind of be like insider trading on my ass, but thankfully, $BDNK isn’t subject to SEC regulatory law. So there’s that.
Have been waiting a while for today, when I finally got to post this. Good times. Also, uh, dark ones.

Goodbye, Gray Lady: Times Legends Take Buyouts,... →
I was leaked a bunch of internal memos detailing who just retired from the New York Times. In all sincerity, they’re sweet, and touching, and genuinely inspiring to anybody who wants a long career in journalism, if that kind of thing is even still possible. If that kind of thing interests you, this is probably right up your alley, all three pages of it.

Yes, that Rudy.
The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Daniel Ruettiger and 12 other participants in a scheme to deceive investors into buying stock in his sports drink company. Ruettiger is widely known for having inspired the 1993 motion picture “Rudy.” According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in Las Vegas, Ruettiger founded Rudy Nutrition to compete with Gatorade...

Congratulations Drew. You’re the most actually-read “Read Later” author on the internet. How does this feel?
I FEEL SO PRETTY. Nothing makes me happier than knowing that people are putting off their work by putting off reading something I wrote and then going to straight to Redtube to fap. Also, I want more money from everyone.

DAVID KARP DOESN’T SEEM LIKELY FOR POLITICS. When the Tumblr founder and CEO explains what happened over the weekend, he speaks about it in his typically blazing conversational speed, a full paragraph at a time, with the intensity of someone who’s been sequestered on a coding project for the last three days…

Oh, I don’t know…
State and local officials said Rachelle Grimmer was a troubled woman wandering with her children from residence to residence after moving to Texas from Zanesville Ohio in March. At one point, the three lived in a tent on the beach near Corpus Christi. Neighbors in Laredo said the children were often seen begging for food while living in a crumbling recreational...

This line of Jason Zinoman’s particularly astute NYT review of Fred Armisen’s Obama was the first thing to make me laugh this week, on the train on the way to work, no less. Hader’s impression of James Carville is a totally unnecessary and topicality-lacking impression in comparison to other choices, and yet, still so perfect and now utterly necessary. It also inspired in a...

That was the last time I went to an Internet party.
You haven’t missed much. Now it’s all people with made-up names (David Shapiro, Carles) or names that sound made-up (Foster Kamer, Tao Lin) plus some old-timers with already dubious names (Lockhart Steele, Michael Bloomberg, Rex Sorgatz) lip-syncing to underground sensations (Odd Future, Taylor Swift) to...

WatchI Wish It Was Christmas Today - Julian Casablancas feat. The Roots, Jimmy Fallon, and Horatio Sanz
I don’t care what anyone says, Christmas is full of cheer.
In honor of the first day of December, I love the way Julian Casablancas can make even the stupidest of yearning sound absolutely morose and blase. As a Jew who enjoys Christmas - true story: many of us do - it fits especially well.

Anyway, the angry commenter is a new breed, and the study of them also new: I welcome, of course, any further evidence or information that would help our understanding of this fascinating and mysterious species.
Katie Roiphe explains that there are assholes on the internet, apparently. Did YOU know this?
LOL at ALL ROIPHE EVERYTHING.
