Case Study: Got Your Pickleback (NY Times) →

I learned about this in last night’s Tipsy Tech Advanced class. For those of you who can’t be arsed to click through the link and read the article (though you should), a pickleback is: one (1) shot of whiskey (we used Jim Beam rye, but many people prefer Jameson’s whiskey or Old Crow bourbon), immediately chased by one (1) shot of pickle juice. As I said last night after...

– ignatz from the comments at Saturday Night Live: Emma Stone And Kings of Leon (via wolfpangs) omg it’s true. I do think SNL went downhill after the early/mid 90s. And I do, shamefully, love Adam Sandler movies. WHAT SORCERY IS THIS. (via secretpamplemousse) …so how does it work if you...

Whew. *puts cane away* ^_^ …now that I think about it, though, I’m sort of alarmed by the fact that I recognised the comic quite so readily, just from one panel and one line of dialogue. cvcomments: you are right, I misread the publication date. it was june 1991, not 1981. my bad. hangingfire: comicallyvintage: You’re just trying to make it sound dirty! Wait, so 1990s Doom...

– emmanuelnegro Google Translate renders this as: “Read it Zero History, Gibson’s new novel, if you have not done well then read the first two books in the trilogy that concludes (not essential but it’s worth it: the first, Pattern Recognition, imho is the best novel beginning of...

Popcorn politics: excerpt from the Chris...

Nancy Karibjanian: What opinions, of late, that have come from our high court, do you most object to?
O'Donnell: Oh, gosh. Um, give me a specific one. I'm sorry.
Karibjanian: Actually, I can't, because I need you to tell me which ones you object to.
O'Donnell: Um, I'm very sorry, right off the top of my head, I know that there are a lot, but I'll put it up on my website, I promise you.
Wolf Blitzer: We know that you disagree with Roe v Wade.
O'Donnell: Yeah, but she said a recent one.
Blitzer: That's relatively recent.
O'Donnell: She said "of late." But yeah. Well, Roe v Wade would not put the power. It's not recent, it's 30-something years old.
Blitzer: But since then, have there been any other Supreme Court decisions?
O'Donnell: Well, let me say about Roe v Wade. If that were overturned, would not make abortion illegal in the United States, it would put the power back to the states.
Blitzer: But besides that decision, anything else you disagree with?
O'Donnell: Oh, there are several when it comes to pornography, when it comes to court decisions – not the Supreme Court, but federal court decisions to give terrorists Miranda rights. There are a lot of things I believe. This California decision to overturn don't ask, don't tell. I believe there are a lot of federal judges legislating from the bench.
Blitzer: That wasn't the Supreme Court. That was a lower...
O'Donnell: That was a federal judge. That's what I said. In California.

Watch

“Bistro”, a delightfully weird little short film by Sean Gray. Stars Peter Capaldi and Alex MacQueen, who should both be familiar to fans of The Thick Of It and In the Loop. (Gray himself was a writer on TTOI.) “Bacterial chunder”. Heh.
