Tonight, viewers of The Daily Show, like me, learned that Linda Cardellini once appeared on The Price is Right. (She won a fireplace.)

And thousands of these viewers, like me, just searched “Linda Cardellini Price Is Right” on Youtube, only to discover that there is no video  on Youtube of Linda Cardellini’s appearance on The Price Is Right.

This is very disappointing. The Internet has a lot to answer for.

I can’t wait to read Tao Lin’s review of Tom Scocca’s review of Lydia Kiesling’s review of Tao Lin’s Taipei.

“

To date, no one in the executive ranks of Citibank—or any of the other Wall Street institutions that solicited and profited from loans like the one Citibank issued to Wazlawik—have been criminally targeted by the Department of Justice.

But Wazlawik now has a felony conviction on his record, will spend a humiliating day in jail, and will spend the next three years at risk of going to prison if he violates the terms of his release. You can sleep easy tonight, America, knowing that your Department of Justice is diligently going after those criminals who would do us harm.

Ever wonder if you could put one existing food inside another existing food, and patent it? Well, MisterRichardSmoker, who once studied patent law, informs me that you can’t do that.

So there goes my dream of striking it rich with my “Ice Cream DoritoCone” invention. Guess I’ll just have to stick to buying lottery tickets.

This week’s recap of shows I don’t watch based on Tumblr posts, gjgjgjgjifs and memes.

Warning: Maybe Spoiler Alert?  But who knows, right? I DIDN’T WATCH IT.

Read More

I made a new recap blog.

This is great. If you don’t watch TV, read it! If you watch TV, read it!

“I want you to know that I never said ‘nerd-chic hipster spectrum’” —

Rachel, I assume talking about an interview (via david)

So I see that the redesigned “quote post” format still doesn’t have any way to differentiate a rebloggers’ comments (like mine in this sentence) from “source” text under the post (like David’s above).

Why must reblogged quotes remain a fucked-up blob of undifferentiated text from multiple authors, now and forever? Was this a condition of the Yahoo deal or something?

(via misterhippity) This is a reblog, by the way. (via me)
