“Each slice is like a Das Racist song.”
– Me, at 2:30 AM on December 24th while perusing the pizza options at Ian’s (the premier late-night college town specialty pizza joint in Madison) after a night of nostalgia drinking. I don’t remember saying it, which is unsurprising given the pint glass of Long Island Iced Tea I’d...

I think my gift to myself this Christmas will be to turn some of my regular old anger into useful anger. This helped a lot.

Speaking of Bradley Manning: yesterday we checked in with Michael Whitney, who aside from being one of my favorite drinking/conspiring buddies has been involved with work to bring attention to and improve Manning’s conditions.
Watch, please, and reblog.
Thank you Mike!

I listened to this song at least ten times while fact-checking something Ezra Koenig-related, and it’s glorious. Britain’s cheesy pop is so much better than ours.
I’ve had to do a lot of reading about John Boehner this week, which has been headache-inducing, but it did remind me of something great.
Scott Klug was elected when I was 8. I remember that my parents hated him, and that he was an evil, pro-business Republican, but he didn’t seem to house a core of pure evil. I learned only this week (for SHAME, Meredith!) that he was one of the...
“Oh right, Bradley Manning. by Jill on 12.15.2010 So the big Julian Assange news...”
– Oh right, Bradley Manning. — Feministe (via champagnecandy)
Assange talks a lot about the need to protect those who want to release information, but he’s been terribly cavalier about consequences - Manning’s bravery came at unimaginable cost, and there’s no way to know whether...
“I never really get to go to school because I am always on tour or with my...”
– This Willow Smith quote is why, no matter how much it sucks to be boring, parents should NOT understand. (via The Hairpin)
It’s so, so very disappointing to remeet someone at a bar who knows his shit on class issues but insists that Assange’s prosecution is politically motivated. Of COURSE it’s politically motivated, but if you can remember from the first time we met that I’m a serious feminist, why wouldn’t you put it together that I have no patience for rape apologism? Dude at a bar...

My friend Evan’s take on The Suburbs, which is part of excellent year-end list from a man who once asked, “Can we go to a bar where I can hear some Ne-Yo?”
It's not foil hat stuff to call the GOP pure evil →
Thanks to Champagne Candy for sending me the scariest (economic) thing I’ve read all week.
