A great piece of advice for straights going to gay clubs.  Make sure to check out the whole thing.

Being the craft beer fan that I am, may I give a whole-hearted Amen:

No Fucking Cosmos

Seriously, it’s not 1997 and you are not Carrie Bradshaw. Put down the fucking appletini and order a beer or a vodka tonic like everyone else.

All my best,

The King of Spades

President Obama’s campaign is in defense mode.  He has refused to sign an executive order protecting LGBT people in the workplace, at least those employed by the federal government and their contractors.

And I can’t say that he hasn’t done anything for the gay community, quite the opposite.  But like Obama himself has said, we need to keep pressuring him to move forward.

But to be fair, good progress has been made:

 

All my best,

A lot of good videos are popping up.  Things like “It’s Time,” which I’m pretty sure I’ve posted before about.

In that vein, check out this awesome video from the UK:

All my best,

The King of Spades



Couple things for you today.  First up, this amazing rendition of Dog Days are Over by Florence +The Machine:

BuzzFeed points us towards an artist who has created indoor clouds!

And finally, an answer to the question, what came first, the chicken or the egg.

And finally, filmed from the ISS:



Quick update for everyone, let’s see what we have.

First up, the latest episode of the Flog, which includes a mini Buffy Season 8 reunion, and an ode to Carrie Fisher:

io9 explains, why you should wear black (if it’s the proper type of fabric at least) this summer.  Hat tip to Becky for passing that one one.

Fifth Avenue Frogger:

Ragan has 10 of the coolest products you never realized Google had.

America’s tourism board released this ad which is showing around the world and domestically.  Pretty cool, although I’m not falling head over heels for the song, but it’s sill cool.  The sky diver with the hawk is amazing!

That’s it for now, I”ll be back soon with more, have a great one!



Quick update, and then I’ll be back with more later hopefully.

First up, this group is awesome, and I love the set/lighting design of this video, as well as the camera drops:

Awesome article about the 24-year old Pulitzer recipient who broke the Sandusky scandal.

When Season 4 of Arrested Development comes out in one big chunk, I know what I’ll be doing for five hours one day.  And the next, and probably the next as well.

CGP Grey is back with another awesome video:

Hehe, it’s like I’m twelve, go read the headline and the article.  And giggle.  You know, if you’re as immature as me, or the writer and editor apparently.



Couple things to pass on today, let’s see what I’ve found:

First up, FreddeGredde is back with a new compilation, this time of video game music:

Copyranter takes a look at the Polo logo in the future:

Maddow Blog takes on the argument that the federal budget is the same as a household budget.

And in her latest Random n’at, Ginny (today’s title comes from That’s Church) has the best fake album art ever (fake band too):

 

That’s it for today, have a great one!



Update for everyone, let’s see what we have.

First up, this was actually posted by The Drunk Yinzer:

In a cocktail moment from Maddow: Bacon!

A fun parody of It Gets Better:

How cool is this, Obama read “Where the Wild Things Are” at the annual Easter Egg roll.  Although I love his faces, I’m going to have to say Christopher Walken was better (since there is audio of that).

And from Better Book Titles:

The fun thing is that both Better Book Titles and Sword and Laser are reading this as their book club pick.  It’s an amazing book, you really should read it!

Hug a Coke machine and get a free drink:

A new, promising type of treatment for cancer is being developed in the UK.

You shouldn’t drive and text, nor should you walk and text:

So true:

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back with more soon!



Lots of fun things, let’s see what I have today.

First up, this has been making it’s rounds, but check out the Drama Button:

Canada is awesome.  Case in point: glow in the dark, dinosaur quarters.  I know, right?!

Just remember kids, this is me:

I think parts of it look a little sloppy, and they got weird dialogue from him, but check out the awesome R2D2 cake:

Copyranter has boccie ads:

 

Next time, they need to at least use a tripod, but the new world-record for Rube Goldberg machines, from Purdue Engineering:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7GzApUGJ3o

And lastly, Funny or Die hits it out of the park with this awesome (and NSFW) video (which I can’t embed, sorry).

That’s it for now, I’ll be back soon with more!



Two quick items and then I’m off:

First up, this amazing poster sent to me by a friend.  I want to own it and hang it above my desk in all its glory:

 

And a fun article from McSweeny’s.  I love the snark.
