Feel pretty good about the prospect of Drake releasing an album where he pointedly refrains from calling women “bitches” + is very self-congratulatory about it. (Not as hopeful for this album, itself, tho.)

You know that thing Beyoncé does where she kinna shimmy runs in heels across the stage, slightly crouched with her knees kinna forward? That’s my favorite thing in the world.

I tried to get home tonight and I missed my transfer (in Brooklyn) and had to double back. Then, when I finally made my transfer, I got on a Manhattan-bound train by mistake, and, after an hour of travelling total, I ended up mere blocks from where I started (in Manhattan). Does anyone else ever just really, inexplicably suck at the subway? Cause I do this more than I’d like to admit.

– Spanish Flamenco singer Buika wows Carnegie Hall in concert with Chucho Valdés
I was at this show, and, actually, she said that in other countries people, “find my innocence offensive,” which is, like, the crux of the social commentary of that statement BUT WHATEVER, she’s great,...
I FaceTimed with my dad tonight on his new iPad, cos he wanted to learn how, and I was coughing a lot and he said it was all the bong hits and then he laughed a lot and said that he used to cough like that back when he was young. I wanted to say, WTF I bought you that iPad for Christmas, you know I don’t sit around getting high all day.
But I was coughing too much.

Thought about going through Dos and Don’ts to find out what they allegedly do wear but I really don’t hate myself that much. ↩

Whenever I tell people that consuming some quantity of late-in-the-day caffeine would risk a relatively-high (25%+) chance of my having trouble sleeping that night, someone inevitably tries to get real with me about how “caffeine doesn’t affect them.” Do people do this to you? (A) I don’t care, at all (B) That doesn’t at all make you “real” (C) Then why do...

I do want to point out that the Bullshit Klosterman Tune-Yards piece commits the most popular crime of hack music writing from the last year: “How could anyone possibly like Tune-Yards if I simultaneously do not? They must be pretending to like it because x, y, z entirely made-up extraneous factors.”

More at the link, and to all of it: Yes. YES.
A victim complex and at the same time a completely unwarranted superiority complex. Also, bad posture.

I know that I can be an asshole about taking pictures of the various cats in my life, but the fundamental difference between getting down on your knees to take a photo of a feline and having your DSLR lens pointed 3 inches from your child’s face for an entire subway ride is that a cat does not understand the social implications of the photographic act. A cat is not going to become a bratty...

The thing about being fat is that you turn into public property. You are an object, not a person, and this makes you fair game for being shredded. This goes double if you are a woman, particularly a woman celebrity; by being publicly fat, Paula was already a target for people who loved making classist comments about her food, and by being pushed into a public disclosure of a private health...

According to this Page 6 article. A timely news story for the day, since MegaUpload would most likely be obliterated if SOPA/PIPA pass, as would this site possibly. Find out more and let your voice be heard.

I always LOL really hard when a girl tags herself on #trashyfriday on Instagram. “She doesn’t even go here!”
This is a video of a tween from Houston doing ballet to “Dust and Water” by Antony and the Johnsons. Sometimes camp really does multiply sentiment.
If you’re going to Swanlights at Radio City, this is probably as good preparation as any.
