Y’all. I am seeing a lot of celebrities with naked babies at the beach. They, the celebrities, hold them, the naked babies, up in the spray like unwrapped gifts. Be they penii or vaginae, the baby organs just hang out, except you can’t really see anything betwixt all those horrid reams of fat. No baby’s ever fully naked, not really.
But has this always gone on? Or is it new? I am going right now...

Gossip Girl
moodily, sometimes tv would have us believe New York is always in the thirties—the decade, not the temperature. Gossip Girl at least comes with matching screwy dialogue and caps that are always mad. if what Fran Lebowitz said is true, that New York is boring because there’s nothing interesting about a city full of rich people, that’s your way in. realize there’s no real reason to...

ah, Sofia: you became hated so that we might love you again. this is what, at least the second time you’ve done that?
my second-favorite Guns ‘n Roses anecdote, next to Axl ejaculating on Slash’s leg (or is it the other way ‘round? i don’t know why i always fuck that up!) is Slash breaking up with his stripper girlfriend because her boobs were too big. we can assume this was Ryan Reynolds’ basic problem with Scarlett.
but this is my second-favorite divorce of the week, celebrity division, after Michael C. Hall,...

Sorkin v. Palin (II)
some hack for the National Review took a run at Sorkin’s tuneup of Palin, alleging that he, Sorkin, is a morally-twisted irrational hate-filled crazy winger.
that’s just bad research. you could pick a scene from The West Wing almost at random and find more fairness & balance than Fox News has ever used in a sentence; Jed Bartlet never met a rational thought he didn’t like. that show was an...

How President Obama Is Like Professor Snape
so progressives, at least the ones who comment blogs and don’t understand that there will never be a Social Democratic moment in this American lifetime, have been putting their cigarettes out all over Obama for his tax-cut compromise, which we know was good because it left everybody mad. they are saying he is a secret Randian who loves America, etc. etc. but if you, like Steve Kloves in his...

Little Boots put this in a set a couple years ago and Veronica Vasicka included it in her FACT mix. it sounds like when Frisco Disco used to be at Arrow Bar. or when Frisco Disco used to, y’know, be. it got so touristy there at the end.

he said before making another list.
i followed music weirdly in 2010. some weeks i didn’t listen to or download anything; others i had to be talked down from Soundcloud. for awhile i struggled to pay attention to albums in their entirety. then i decided i didn’t have to listen to bands anymore and set about freeing myself from Brooklyn imperialism. i stoked my love for the club and moved in a more unmitigatedly-Anglo...

Julian & NPP
Reddit shopped this the other day. look at the criteria:
“the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”
Julian needs to take this. he is the greatest subversive thinker since Gorbachev and whether it’s all animus or genuine...

Katy Perry’s song Firework has a whole bar of her just going “oh oh oh oh oh”. this is not to be confused with her song California Gurls, on which there’s a whole bar of her going “oh oh oh oh oh”. this in turn is not to be confused with Ke$ha’s Tik Tok, although everyone already did it (confused them). Ke$ha’s “oh” usage on Tik Tok is, i...

A Great Villainess Knows The Cruelty Of Laughter
Sue Sylvester was not in the new Glee but about her i’ve had the following revelation: she’s just like the Joker. by which i mean: in Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader? Neil Gaiman has Joker say he only kills people when it’s funny.
this is totally true of Sue Sylvester. if you had a rash of sympathy for her after her fair treatment of Kurt, remember: he was only spared...
