Hey there, this is my interblogwebnet.
I hate and fear the internet, but spend a lot of time on it anyway.
When I'm not busy breaking things, I enjoy ribaldry and claiming to be Batman.
Thanks, Statue of Liberation Through Christ.
Wal-Mart dropping hyphen: Yes it is. But it’s a branding change, not an official namechange. Quoth the AP’s ugliest website ever:
In a recent SEC filing, the company identified itself as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Thus AP is leaving unchanged, Wal-Mart.
“mongolian cat”: OH, HELL NO. Pallas’ Cat in full effect.
B reactor monument: […]
I forgot to produce a post. Anyway, I’m redesigning my blog template. Something more like the actual front to losefail.org, but maybe less wood. There’s nothing fun to see, yet, though.
And probably some text hotness.
Prepare for the funniest economic paper (top link) you’ve ever read.
Yes, I’m aware that’s a low standard, but it’s funny in its own right.
After the jump, some boring stuff about EVE Online to explain the post title.
So I was listening to Meet The Press this morning and browsing Reddit and I saw a thread titled “I am not Joe fucking Six-Pack.”
And a brief bit of genius struck me. Ever since the presidential campaign got way too folksy, I’ve been itching for an “I am not Joe SIx-Pack t-shirt.”
So i registered iamnotjoesixpack.com […]
My parents love Andy. He’s our brokerage guy and probably our favorite republican. Before I went to college, we put some money in a mutual fund. It’s a combination of high school graduation money and cash I’ve been saving since I was a kid. They put it in conservative mutual funds that peaked with a […]
… I’m pretty sure only Nick reads this. But, anyway: Don’t let the bastards get you down.
b(sic.), The Baltimore Sun’s youth tab recently published “douchebag” as a screamer hed for an article about douchebags. Needless to say, it elicited some harumphs.
Someone in the right demographic instantly understands just what makes a douchebag a douchebag, or (perhaps this is unique to the west coast patois) a total douche. Recognizing someone as a […]
Via NYT: No More Bomb-Making, But Work Aplenty.
It’s about Hanford’s B Reactor (one of mankind’s most bad-ass accomplishments) finally getting historical landmark status.
B Reactor, for those of you who didn’t spend four months in Kennewick, was the first site producing weapons-grade fissionable materials. It made the plutonium for the Nagasaki bomb and Trinity tests. It […]
Pass the J – we’ve got a serious waitwhat moment on our hands:
MNI, which has shed more than 70% off its 52 week high, might be going private, says the Newsosaur and his less popular friends the, Newsiraptor and Newsoplurodon. This after Gatehouse sits on the verge of being delisted.
The industry being in delicious collapse […]
At the onset of the Republican convention today, one of the speakers encouraged people to text a shortcode that donates $5 to the Red Cross. Cameras cut to people pulling out cell phones, bumbling through the process of sending a text.
The the comedy started. I’d imagine the director and all the camerafolk were trying desperately […]
