Gingrich 'Puzzled' by Smartphone →
This video is truly bizarre. Does he not have one person on his staff under the age of 50 that could have spared him the embarrassment of making this?

In response to #13, I’ll call your attention to the greatest playlist ever created. How could anyone where headphones while shopping when jams like this are playing?

Tell me this is a joke, Brooklyn Vegan →
This is an actual review of an actual concert that happened in Williamsburg (of course it was in Williamsburg). If you can scroll through all of the weird pictures, the comment section is a treat as well.

The senior members on her committee aren’t holding the regulators...

“You know, I once wrote an essay that compared American culture to Antio Gaudí’s sculptures. When Gaudí was building Park Güell, he took wholesome, perfectly fine pieces of ceramic and tile and broke them on purpose with a hammer.
