So Wikipedia says, citing the commentary on the “Freaks and Geeks” DVD set, that Linda Cardellini dated Jason Segel after “Freaks and Geeks” got canceled. (Which, already, !!!)
Then it says, citing Starpulse.com, that Cardellini dumped Segel for getting fat (And now I’m like, “!!!”). That almost killed my crush on Cardellini, because she seems like...

“I am a little puzzled by the complications of international finance but I am learning fast and a good deal of what I was taught in college as theory is now being put to the test of actual practice. What is meant by a country going off the gold standard? As far as I can see it is like a bank refusing to pay out deposits because of lack of funds. I can see I will have to read up on the...

endasher:
the deeply concerned article about 20-somethings [also, what a disgusting style choice—twentysomethings, pls], isn’t it pretty obvious that the deceleration in achieving adulthood is really more biological or medical than sociological? The life expectancy at birth for an American born in 1930 was 66 years; for a 2008 baby, it was 78. Isn’t it only rational for someone who knows s/he’s...

“The old tricks have been exploded, and I think the language needs to find new...”
– David Foster Wallace (via mollylambert)
When I “liked” Peter Feld’s response to David Kendall’s retarded post about the new religion called “Islam” that got started on 9/11 and now wants to take over lower Manhattan’s athletic-facilities market, that “like” trickled down onto David Kendall’s Tumblr, which made me do a throw-up burp. So I had to un-“like” Peter...

The paidContent goons are dumping their Tweets into their RSS feeds, helpfully marking each nonsensical blurb with the label “Tweet:”.
Someone should tell them that this is not a good “social-media strategy.”

Is there any way to switch back to the old Gmail (the post - janky html, pre-preschool edition)? I don’t like that there’s nowhere to click so i can use my up and down arrows to scroll around. Like why does that highlight mouseover bar turn into a full link. I’ve inadvertently clicked “Travel” and “Personal” like five times each today.
Listen up, Google....

@CapitalNewYork, re: The Tabloid Ballad of Steven...
me: what does this mean
It is sort of that flight-attendant smile that makes one suspect the authenticity is in direct proportion to intelligence.
that if the smile is authentic the person is smart?
i would think inverse proportion
Paul: but isn't the "flight-attendant smile" a fake thing?
like, is he saying that you have to be brillz to slap on a believable fake smile?
i'm not sure
me: is he saying the fakeness is authentic?
Paul: it is a weird sentence!
maybe we should write in and ask?
