Lakers beat the SuperSonics
and Ice Cube had no events to attend was…

      National Good Day Day

Amazing.

The internet, everybody. It never lets you down (except for all those times that it does).

“I know Gore Vidal,
Norman Mailer,
the real Norman Mailer.
He owes me a hundred favors.”

Lyrics to a parody version of Rick Ross’ “Hustlin’” written from Joan Didion’s perspective.

(This has been running through my head for the past week, for some reason. Posting it here in hopes that it will go away now.)

Use "Jenny’s Number" to Get Club Discounts at Stores Without Providing Personal Information»

You know, Jenny from the song 867-5309 (see the above video if you weren’t around for the 80s). As parenting blog Parent Hacks points out, most stores can verify your membership by looking up your phone number. But it doesn’t have to be your number—just a number in the system, and people add fake numbers all the time to avoid giving out their own. Since 867-5309 is one of the most commonly remembered phone numbers, it’s almost always in the system. Punch in Jenny’s number instead of your own and you’ll get your discounts without handing over your personal information.

I love this trick so much. It makes me feel like a low level secret agent.

It’s always depressing when Ockham’s Razor points to sexism

Here is the article Chuck Klosterman wrote about Lulu, one of 2011’s most reviled albums and generally considered one of the worst things released by either Metallica or Lou Reed. Now here is the article he just wrote about w h o k i l l, one of the most positively reviewed albums of 2011 as well as just being voted Album of the Year by Pazz and Jop. Is there any question which album he chose to engage with more? Is there any reason, besides the obvious, why?
