Just because I have nowhere else to share this
Via the best Cardinals blog with a shitty name Viva El Birdos… Should Moyer make a Major League appearance in 2012, we’ll remain seven Oldest Players removed from the beginning of time. When he was a rookie in 1986, the oldest player in baseball was Phil Niekro. When Niekro was a rookie in 1964, it was Warren Spahn. Spahn, in 1942, causes a setback in Joe Heving, who got a late start...

The Great Republican Party for Florida
thenelsontwins: psychastenie: The Republican party has turned inward on itself again. Now Mitt and Newt are attacking each other for being anti-immigrant. Until they get to the next state. That’s what I’m thinking.

claytoncubitt: “A Pew Research Center poll in December found that only 50 percent of Americans reacted positively to the term “capitalism,” while 40 percent reacted negatively. Among Americans ages 18 to 29, more had a negative view of capitalism than a positive view, the survey found. Those young Americans actually viewed socialism more positively than capitalism. In other words, America’s...

“The head-spinning end result is an indie-rock world that feels like a place...”
– Confuse the Market: Post-Crossover, Indie Retreats Scott Plagenhoef is ruthlessly on point in his Village Voice Pazz & Jop essay, particularly in this paragraph where he perfectly articulates something I’ve been trying to say since, like, 2005. (via perpetua)

Pulling my first all nighter of the quarter.
Actually, scratch that, of my WHOLE COLLEGE CAREER. Isn’t that a strange thing to think about? I’ve never stayed up all night doing homework in college. And I’m doing it tonight, weeks before midterms and months before finals just to do a project I could have been working on all week and didn’t because I’m lazy and like playing video games and watching sports on the...

chickychickyparmparm: socialismartnature: Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is urging his City Council to enact strict new restrictions on many forms of protest on Wednesday, January 18. Local advocates say the Council is distracted by a fierce redistricting battle and that the new ordinance is likely to pass unnoticed, unless there’s a huge outcry.  Occupy Rogers Park and Occupy South Side...

psychastenie: radiospiricom: psychastenie: Drake at #8 on Pitchforks top 50 list? Talk about boring. I don’t want to be indielitist, but Pitchfork’s acceptance and promotion of mainstream music has gone too far. Can’t go any further into the subject or else I’ll blow a gasket. Never said “indie music is better,” if you pay attention to other stuff I’ve written I take...

Fox News is winning the election for Obama. →
Which is probably what Fox News wants. The longer they are the ones without a President in the White House, the longer they can play up the “persecuted conservative/Christian” angle which is undoubtedly good for business. As the article examines, Fox News gets along by creating controversy, not by following actual news-related events. If Nancy Pelosi is the biggest democrat on the...
