I can’t believe this guy just convinced me to hope that Rick Santorum wins the nomination and gets fucked in the general.

One day a team of archaeologists is going to dig through layers of rock and soil undisturbed for millennia and find a big box that says “Really Rare Fossils Do Not Open” and they’re going to open it and a bunch of spring-loaded snakes are going to pop out
And I’m going to emerge from a bed of moss and laugh

7 days ago, we launched our Public API and the accompanying Developer Portal. We’ve received a lot of great feedback, updated the Portal a bit to better give you the information you need, and talked to a lot of developers with some really neat ideas for ways to use the API. Now’s a great time to…

So to clarify: we agree that there is a social imbalance between men and women that it is easier for men to reject women than for women to reject men. I completely agree with you. And I completely agree with you that it sucks that men get so upset about being put in the friend zone, and that the women who do the putting can be looked down upon.
The friend zone is something...

i mean it’s like, yeah when you take a concept that clearly puts one group in a position of power over the other out of that context of a power relationship, of course it seems “fair” or “unbiased”.
but you know… context… it matters… a lot…
but anything that happens between genders would then be able to be labeled as misogynistic, ignoring the root causes of things. If you say,...

My impression is that the friend zone isn’t gendered. It’s pretty similar to unrequited feelings. If a girl complains,...

If a person puts a piece of their tissue (organs, blood, etc.) inside another person, it will most likely cause an immune response that will kill one or both of them

Get a loaf of this (no way am I fixing that sweet typo): I had to go to the bank today. The bank. Like inside? The building?
I don’t think I’ve stepped foot in a bank since Stephen Hawking invented ATMs because who am I, Liberace or whatever with fancy financial things to do? Like I need a small…

I awake on New Year’s Day to discover my fingers stuck in ten different vodka bottles. They make a terrible clatter as I somehow manage to don my kimono emblazoned with a .44 Magnum Colt Anaconda and the words I WILL DESERT STORM DAT ASS in Papyrus. I wait for my boner to subside and then go…

This post titled “The Race is Long” by Charlie O’Donnell couldn’t have come at a more opportune time for the Class of 2011, myself included. My peers and I have all just settled into new jobs, trying to jump-start careers and looking to fit in this crazy city as an adult — and we’re all at a point where we’ve had a couple of stumbles since graduating in May.
For those of you...

Rick Perry Strong Video
If you look at Rick Perry’s “Strong” YouTube video, substantively more than 99% of viewers who have liked/disliked it have disliked it. This is because it’s homophobic. However, if you look at Rick Perry’s Obamacare video, the campaign has disabled comments.
This is interesting. It suggests that Rick Perry wants to perceived as someone with a disagreed-with stance...

Step 2: Hit “I’m Feeling Lucky”
If you’re good at following instructions, you would have landed on Google’s Logos page, which is a repository for Google doodles of bygone days. Pretty neat!
On that note, it’s interesting how Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” button has nearly become a relic in search. As Business Insider reported back in September 2011, the release of Google...

Jordan Kong | Blog: On the nature of creativity →
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize…
