Another dumb headline from guess who?

Blog Platform Issues
lowlife:
Can someone tell me when the Tumblr platform turned into Livejournal? I signed up here for the whole get-a-post-up-in-30-seconds factor… and now?
It’s like the mafia. YOU CAN’T LEAVE, KID.
Quoting a personal email I sent yesterday:
I’ve found that writing a brief weblog is not necessarily hurtful to a writers’ career, and can even be helpful. The real productivity crime...
“I’d like to throw these guys in the brig.”
– Joe Biden, first mate of the S.S. America, on Wall Street executives giving themselves ludicrous bonuses. Yarrrr. (via caro)
“Our president’s approval rating is somewhere between pictures of baby pandas on...”

Dick Ebersol, chairman of NBC Universal Sports and Olympics, reflected on the cultural change in TV this week. “Without Sullivan around anymore, there is no place for you to see in prime time a good musical performance,” he said.
Suck it, FOX!
I am impressed that Rachel’s drinking charity has managed to help two African children to attend secondary school. I am not so impressed at her BCC: skills, however.

“In this totally media-saturated world, I do have the distinct feeling that discretion and secrets are sometimes the mark of an important, and increasingly rare kind of coolness. I’m not getting on my high horse, but I love the idea that there are certain friendships, certain liaisons, certain bars, certain evenings, certain dinner parties, and certain experiences that...
Changed the name of this blog to our early front-runner for Quote of the Day. The usual name will be back tomorrow.
On this weekend's bday schedule:
“It’s like facing Manny and Ortiz back-to-back in the lineup”
(Actually, with the Super Bowl on Sunday, it’s a Murderer’s Row of drinking occasions)
Crippling hangover
Blargh. It’s all Billy Joel’s fault.

What I'm Thinking About Today
josephweisenthal:
Re: The Financial Collapse.
Why are people so eager to blame derivatives, complexity, deregulation et. al. on Wall Street for the financial collapse?
Why aren’t people satisfied by the fact that bankers made a crapload of bad loans right before an unprecedented collapse in the housing market? To me that seems like the simples, most-satisfying, occam’s razor answer. And it’s...
Speaking of stupid headlines:
Jessica Alba Calls TMZ, Bill O’Reilly the Stupid Ones - Yahoo! Movies
Apparently… she called Bill an asshole, this stirred up EVERYONE (asshole? oh, snap!), she barked at reporters that they should remain neutral like Sweden, everyone and their mother followed up by calling her a dumb cunt, except Sweden is actually a neutral country… so, sadly, her encyclopedic knowledge of...
Thanks for more blogging material, Yahoo!
Showing that they’re idiots could keep me occupied for a while.
Front page headline: George Clooney and dad trade jabs
(this is right below “Alba lashes out at O’Reilly” with the following subhead: “A spat between Jessica Alba and Bill O’Reilly heats up as she offers him a history lesson.” So it looks like fighting night.)
First sentence of story:...
Off-Topic
One of the shittier things one needs to deal with in life is when someone passes along the news that someone who you used to know with in another state, in another time, in another life, way outside the circle of blog-scene jackasses, had a swift affliction at a very young age and no longer walks among the living. (Note: it is extraordinarily unlikely that any of you on Tumblr would have known the...

good thing they don’t have them in the city or i’d be in big trouble. a falling rock zone (cheddar, potato, bacon) is calling my name.
Between this and the Cluck-U in Hoboken news, my stomach’s desires are regressing almost a decade. It’s like, Momofuk-who?

Tumblr Pundit
At almost exactly 5pm, I got about 10 chat messages from all the people who took the day off from Tumblr who stumbled into Penispicgate after the fact. I enjoy talking with all of these people, but there was an undeniable sense that I was being queried to “make a statement on the matter.” People think - and I’ve certainly given them reason to - that I know everything going on...
And now that we've had fun, the defense:
I don’t know the details of what happened. The only context I have is that some dude sent penis pics out to a few girls. I have no other information. Now, while I do not do such things - I err on the side of caution with my online flirting - I actually lament the situation as a fellow male.
First of all, if it’s Mark Wahlberg taking out his cock at the end of a movie, it’s not...
No. I'm Not Touching That One.
(via whatthefuckdoineedtoknow)
After today, he’ll have to go somewhere other than Tumblr to find someone to touch “that one”.

I sent Antikris this picture of my dong:

There is indeed a new sheriff in town
cajunboy:
Just as I finally blew a gasket over the Citi private jet thing, our magic negro Muslim terrorist President, Barack Allah Obama, turned towards Mecca and recited a prayer or dispatched Rahm Emanuel to put someone’s ballsack in a rusty vice and poof, the whole thing just went away.
I don’t know about you, but that feels very deeply satisfying to me.
New sheriff… negro…...
