Gawker Year in Review: Politics →
“Was this election actually remarkable in any way? Sure—we elected the first black president at the end of it. That’s still pretty cool. But otherwise it was a fairly standard-issue rout, with the deeply unpopular second-term president forcing his party into nominating someone they didn’t actually like that much and throwing him to the wolves without the resources of his more...

Now dear Gordon, true that, but after you comes another whizzkid telling me that I should look after myself first, because in the end that’s all I have …you wise people sometimes confuse simple souls like me.

The Santosbrazzi killer
magicmolly:
You know how certain public figures can float at the edge of your consciousness for years without coming into focus? Robyn Hitchcock, Miranda July and Ari Fleischer are three personal examples. For a long time I knew their offices vaguely—and ran across their names often—but failed to figure out anything else. Anyhoo. Such figures tend to either eventually disappear from your...

If the world replaced all of its oil usage with carbon-neutral energy sources, ecologist Kenneth Caldeira of Stanford University calculated that it would only buy us about 10 years before coal emissions warmed the planet to what many scientists consider dangerous levels.

It really annoys me when people post endless personal pictures on their tumblrs. I mean, do as thou whilst, of course, it’s your show, and I just unfollow them and then we’re both happy, but holy GOD! It’s like being forced to watch a slideshow of your Aunt May’s trip to Aruba on your dashboard everyday. Guess what? I don’t know ANY OF THESE PEOPLE! I...

Just in case you are worried.
Oh, I am. Let me check. Nope. Just ask me, duh. if I can see out my window things other than ash, lava and the smoky, fiery curlicues of the apocalypse, I’ll continue to post arty pictures of blurry crap, photos of all generations of Star Trek, atmospheric non-pop, and witty musings on life.
If, however, I post something like “HOT DAMN ON...

Secret Santa

I still haven’t been gifted. :(
Me neither, but I did write the wrong address on my Elfster page. You know, because I’m a retard.
If it makes either of you feel better, I JUST got mine yesterday evening. It’s probably just a backed up shipping situation. It’ll come!!

I’ll also include a pic of the box it came that I totally destroyed trying to get at it (you tape good). Thanks so much Windycitygirl.

The thing that makes trauma so traumatic is that it wises you up very, almost inhumanely, quickly. It’s lessons are fast, and fierce. You might not want to know, right now, but, now, you do. It might take you a while to decide to notice you just went through something, but you did. You may bitch and moan, cry and hurt, wallow and salve and possibly fight not just the inevitable, but the...
