That Flickr Look? →
claytoncubitt: “Merkley’s style is more R-rated and carnivalesque than Guoleifsdottir’s, but together the two Flickr stars have mounted a case against vérité rawness, in favor of posing, cropping and special effects. Guoleifsdottir and Merkley might have amounted to nothing in analog times, when elaborate deference to institutions, hard-won group shows and expensive years spent in unnoticed toil...

Me: I met this girl at a party who lives in Morningside Heights.
Her: Oh, my grandma's from there.
Me: Cool, maybe I hung out with your grandma. This girl I met was 97 years old.
Her: My grandma's dead.
sharingtime: At this point my brain shorted out.

Athiests as a Majority (from Top 100 Christian...
This is what it would be like, if the majority of people were athiests.
ATHIEST KID: Mom, I'm going to go fuck a hooker.
ATHIEST MOM: Okay, son.
ATHIEST KID: Afterwards, I'm going to go smoke pot with my friends, since it's "not addictive."
ATHIEST MOM: Okay, come home soon! The athiest kid leaves the room. The father comes home from work several minutes later. ATHIEST DAD: Hey!
ATHIEST MOM: Hi, honey! I'm pregnant again. I guess I'll just get another abortion, since "fetuses don't count as human life."
ATHIEST DAD: Okay, get as many abortions as you want!
ATHIEST MOM: Oh, and don't go in the bedroom.
ATHIEST DAD: Why not?
ATHIEST MOM: There are two gay men fucking eachother in there.
ATHIEST DAD: Why are they here?
ATHIEST MOM: I wanted to watch them do it for awhile. They just aren't finished yet.
ATHIEST DAD: Okay, that's fine with me! Suddenly, their neighbor runs into the house. ATHIEST NEIGHBOR: Come quick, there's a Christian outside!
ATHIEST MOM: We'll be right there! The athiest couple quickly put on a pair of black robes and hoods. They then exit the house, and run into the street, where a Christian is nailed to a large, wooden X. He is being burned alive. A crowd of athiests stand around him, all wearing black robes and hoods. RANDOM ATHIEST: Damn you, Christian! We hate you! We claim to be tolerant of all religions. But we really hate your's! That's because we athiests are hypocritical like that! Die, Christian!
THE END
Scary, isn't it?

Dear Jew. Start packing.
alexbalk: “On Monday night, the area around Rome’s city hall rang to chants of ‘Duce! Duce!’, the term adopted by Italy’s dictator, Benito Mussolini, equivalent to the German ‘Führer’. Supporters of the new mayor gave the fascist Roman straight-arm salutes. Alemanno, however, has promised to be the mayor of all Romans. He yesterday sent telegrams to both the [former Hitler-youth] Pope and the...

I’d love to see this painful process that they went through to make their most current album, Boxer. I am obsessed with music docs. The one I directed is looking super-cool coming together :)

chainchewinggum: My life would be so more enjoyable if I enjoyed coffee and celebrity sightings. Honestly. I see people craving coffee or cappuccinos—when they finally get their bitter caffeine concoction, they cradle, smell the warm aroma. Some women purr after the first sip of coffee. I on the other hand, want no part in the coffee. Not even the ice cream. And there are so many good...

Grand Theft Auto has never really been a gigantic series for me, but damn. All these perfect scores must amount to something. Not an advertising sellout, one would hope. Suspicions aside, though, judging solely based on the trailers I’ve...
