kellyqehudson:

i love this. where is this quote from?

I distinctly remember Dan Gurewitch reading this aloud to me out of a humor magazine in CollegeHumor’s first office.

It’s from Army Man. What I wouldn’t give for a complete set of Army Man.

New York Times: What’s the best thing about writing a book?

Jonathan Franzen: The meaning it temporarily lends to my existence.

New York Times: The hardest or least enjoyable part?

Jonathan Franzen: The years of doubting whether I actually have another story to tell.

I’m a filmmaker and an Eagle Scout. This is my message to the Boy Scouts in regards the ban on homosexual members.

Todd Bieber has something to say and you should listen. The Filmmaking merit badge kind of looks like the UCB logo no?

Watch this.

alanstarzinski:

This guy stole my friend’s phone does anyone know him? Here is what she had to write about it.

“Guys, THIS KID STOLE MY PHONE FROM BETA AT WESLEYAN THIS SATURDAY. He just uploaded this picture of himself and it came up on my icould. Does anyone recognize him? He was hanging out with me when I realized my phone was gone AND HE PRETENDED TO HELP ME LOOK FOR IT. It looks to me like a might be in high school from the background. HELP ME FIND OUT WHO THIS A HOLE IS.”

Let’s pass this around and help my friend Molly out.

theworstthingsforsale:

There’s nothing wrong with masturbation. But this book tells you to jack off while you read it, to specific situations like a teacher being proud of you, or doing well at work. And you can’t just crank it a little and turn the page. You have to finish the job. To every single page of the book. Read the “Click To Look Inside!” to see what I’m talking about.

(By the way, this is not the first product I’ve written about where I’m 99% sure the creator thought of the title first.)

michaelhartney:

This afternoon, my partner Turtle walked out of our apartment to grab a bite. Before he even left our block, a man called him “faggot” as he passed. Rather than let the guy get away with it, Turtle decided to confront this man about his hateful behavior. And he filmed it.

Notice how well Turtle handles himself in this video. No need to fight hate with hate; calling him “slick hair” is as hateful as Turtle gets (which is hilarious and awesome). He lets that ignorant clown have it with poise and decency. Not surprising, considering Turtle is the absolute best guy around and I couldn’t be prouder of him.

Our neighbors saw this altercation, and told Turtle that this man has been harassing their thirteen year-old son for years, sometimes even calling him “faggot” while the kid was in recess at school with his peers. They know who he is and where he lives. They’ve been too scared for the kid’s safety to do anything about it. But it’s going to end today.

Turtle called the cops and is going to file a complaint tomorrow morning. I don’t know what’s going to happen yet, but hopefully this jerk will learn that we’re not going to put up with this crap in our neighborhood anymore.

On the bright side, this charmer is already in talks with DC Comics to illustrate Orson Scott Card’s Superman story. It’ll be the first comic book drawn completely in douchey hair gel.

reblogging. if you know this guy or anyone like him, help them not be idiots anymore.

All I want to say about the Oscars

Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:40:56 -0500

So at the Oscars they replaced the models that usually hand the awards with six young film students. Three men, three women. Two black people, one Asian woman, three (apparently) white people. I thought that was nice. Yes, it was blatant Nokia product placement, and cheesy, and all that, but they kept calling them “the future of film,” which I liked. They had probably been as carefully chosen as a Benetton ad, but I liked that too. Inclusion is always a deliberate choice. Racism and sexism don’t just go away on their own. I like that some producer was like, “Hey, Academy, know how you’re like 3/4 made of Aryan grandpas? That shit’s on the wane.”

I don’t think Seth McFarlane was that producer, but he was vocally supportive:

“I actually felt it was a great idea,” MacFarlane says. “It was the kind of thing that when I was in college I would have thought was really cool. And it sends a really good message.”

It does send a good message! You know what’s crazy? Thinking about the message you send, and trying to include people rather than bully them, is also something you can do while writing jokes.

Mary OIiver, “Wild Geese.” This wizened genius gives up nothing! for Lent. (Probably, right?)

I sure love this poem. And I don’t give a crap about poems.

Michl Hartny.: I Just Wrote This To DC Comics

Michl Hartny.: I Just Wrote This To DC Comics:

michaelhartney:

Hi, DC!

My name’s Michael Hartney. I’m as big a Superman fan as you’ll ever meet. I have bought Superman comics every Wednesday since I learned to read, which was nearly 30 years ago. Superman was the subject of my blog and my one-man show. My name is tattooed on my arm in Kryptonian, for Zod’s…

This really makes me so sad. I loved Ender’s Game growing up. I knew Orson Scott Card was politically conservative but I didn’t know he was so anti-gay.
