There needs to be more of this.

I was thinking about how there’s rarely an opportunity to discuss any of these matters with people who disagree. Tumblr is mostly liberal, and when I say mostly, I mean 99 percent. Twitter has been more popular for conservatives, but you could very easily filter out whatever you want, and most people do. Depending on whether you’re a liberal or conservative, you get alarmingly different perspectives on where America is going. Attempt to venture to the other side, as conservatives occasionally do for Maher or liberals do for basically all of Fox News, and it’s very possible that you leave slightly humiliated for even trying.

We’re not helping each other out by constantly serving up articles and videos to people that already agree with us. I’m reiterating what Winston said, but it’s true… what the heck are we doing here? Sharing ridiculous teabagger photos isn’t debate, it’s fun and games, but who’s paying attention?

We have to figure out how to do this more effectively. I have to do better.

Well said. I was high-fiving and discussing Jon Stewart’s awesomeness with my friends earlier today. However, you raise a very good point - his message resonates with everyone that already agrees with him. We re-blog him ad infinitum (I’m looking at you AdamIss) but it will never move the dial of our collective social consciousness. Pictures like this give me hope that there are people out there willing to listen to each other. I’d like to think these two ladies are debating ideas rather than ~~spitting~~ spewing vitriol at one another.

My girlfriend decided to torture me today with several food related links, including NY Mag’s new guide to the fried chicken “craze of ‘09,” which of course proceeds the artisanal pizza “party of ‘08,” the great pork belly “imbroglio of ‘07,” and of course, who can forget “Holy Shit Burgers ‘06!!!?”

Above is Momofuku Noodle’s entry into the category. $100, by reservation only, parties of 4-8.

This is why we’re fat, and why I can’t help myself.

Nine Fried Chickens to Try Before You Die (and if you eat all of them in the course of three days or less, you will).

count me in. k would go too. so that’s 4 people… i think 8 is too many to share with, 6 could maybe work… :)

Call me crazy, but $100 for 2 chicken?! I love Momofuku as much as the next guy, but c’mon, that’s rediculous! *Edit* Unless they throw in a complimentary soft serve cone, cuz seriously, that stuff is frozen crack!

G20: Unmarked car drives into crowd of protesters. Guys in camouflage jump out, grab some kid and throw him in the back, then drive away. Disturbing.

This bothers me quite a bit.

I think that movies like Quarantine, that one where the Monster thingies attack NYC, Blair Witch Project, Best in Show, Drop Dead Gorgeous, shows like Reno 911, The Office and Parks and Rec have desensitized me from taking this seriously.

For some reason, this screams VIRAL VIDEO to me. Perhaps it’s the high quality of the footage, the bright green hue of his fatigues, or the seemingly feeble attempt to resist their actions. Seriosuly, if a car pulled up and grabbed me, I sure as hell would make a lot more commotion.
