Fat
patbaer:
In the last 15 years, I have only had one person insult me by calling me fat to my face. I can assume some people have done it behind my back, but as I’ve said, I’ve only dealt with face to face once since I was a kid.
I was telling an obnoxious pair of customers that if they continued their behavior, they would be asked to leave. This guy’s response was “yeah, well you’re 300...

Why Millennials aren’t buying cars or houses, and what that means for the economy
HAHA NO MONAY!!!!!
Maybe our generation aren’t buying houses and cars because EVERYTHING IS SO FUCKED
You want us to actually talk to bank people and get home loans and auto loans? They are still fucking us! Any time I go into a bank, I feel disgusted. You want me to do MORE business with the who...

Niall Ferguson's point-by-point defense of his... →
This is STILL full of inaccuracies and misrepresentations.
1. NF: “The total number of private-sector jobs is still 4.3 million below the January 2008 peak”
MO’B: The private sector has actually added jobs since Obama was sworn in.
Both these statements are true. I picked the high point of January 2008 because it seems to me reasonable to ask how much of the ground lost in the crisis...

Whoa there, Huffington Post!
This is far less horrifying than your Niall Ferguson cover story this week.
annnnd…Rob Delaney once again gets to the heart of things. Love that dude.
Reeeeeally?! A coat hanger, signifying one of the most desperate and terrifying abortion methods that women have had to resort to over the years,...
The Newsweek Tumblr responded to a question about Niall Ferguson’s misrepresentation of the CBO analysis regarding the ACA, questioned by Paul Krugman, and they’ve double-downed on Ferguson’s misleading position. Unfortunately for Ferguson and Newsweek, they’re still wrong:

“Tumblr became the de-facto landing pad for my class. Since I was in a smart classroom, it was easy for me to pull up announcements, tips, reminders or examples that I’d posted since the previous class—I usually opened class with the Tumblr. As opposed to Blackboard, Tumblr was a clean and publically accessibly interface. When updating my lectures, I often found it easier to put...

From time to time, YM turns to Everything Expert Brian Van for his take on news of the day (old): Redmond v. Gawker Media.
That article’s a dud, man. I can’t even begin to find anything worthwhile to extract out of it, unless I copied it word for word. (I’d be a terrible HuffPo blogger.)
And it’s totally along the lines of, “nothing even happened”. Gizmodo went...

journalofajournalist:
Great @SFWeekly article on the future of legendary Berkeley punk venue 924 Gilman. The short story of it is that old-guard 924ers and DIY purists are upset that Gilman now lets major label bands play, no longer screens bands for sexist/homophobic/racist content, charges higher door prices, and no longer gives headlining bands the same cut of the door $$ as opening acts. I...

I’m traveling through Mongolia and currently staying in a yurt. This was not by choice; I’m with persuasive friends. If it were up to me I’d never leave my apartment and, more specifically, the bedroom area. But my comforts have given me a nagging sense of discomfort. I think traveling and seeing how other people live, even if I’m not totally immersing myself, assuages some of my unease because...

My meth story is up now at EATER!!! →
This particular job was waiting tables at a chicken wing place that was kind of like a Hooters-lite. There wasn’t anyone slinging Coors Lite in short shorts or anything, but the bathroom of every location had the foldout poster of the naked girl bicycle race from Queen’s Jazz LP above the urinal.
Yeah man, that Pioneer Chicken Stand on Temple and Alvarado is now an El Pollo Loco.

The coming-of-age comedy, which is written and will be directed by Maryland native Michael Tully, is set in Ocean City during the 1980’s and is based on Tully’s...
