Jean-Ralphio is the Amazing Spiderman
erina:
rejectedjokes:
The wonderful people at CollegeHumor edited this together at breakneck speed after so many people tweeted/posted about Jean-Ralphio kinda looking like the Amazing Spiderman. To those editors I say kudos and thank you. To everyone else I say enjoy the trailer now as it will inevitably be taken down for breaking 1000 copyright laws.

Newsweek: Life For A 21-Year-Old In Homs, Syria →
newsweek:
This is happening:
Maras, 21, awoke yesterday morning at 6:00 a.m. to the sound of bombs falling on his neighborhood.
In his world, the Bab Amro neighborhood of Homs in central Syria, this was not the part of his day that shocked him most. This was how it had been for the past six days, he…
I decided yesterday evening that I’m going to try to keep updated on...

Sonnet, Elizabeth Bishop
I am in need of music that would flow Over my fretful, feeling fingertips, Over my bitter-tainted, trembling lips, With melody, deep, clear, and liquid-slow.

There is a magic made by melody: A spell of rest, and quiet...

The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer
I just finished this book and feel conflicted about it. It started off so strongly, with engaging style and fascinating characters but got dark super quick. I feel like it could have been split into two or three different books. The last third of the book felt almost tedious to read, but I’d become so invested in the characters that I couldn’t quit.
So I don’t know if I can...

Who Can You Trust?
thenewinquiry:
Because much of our daily interactions occur virtually, we connect to and identify with people and material goods differently than their physical compatriots. While our pants don’t have Facebook profiles, bestowing certain garments with a proper name suggests that pursuing a relationship with trousers might not be completely bonkers. In personifying the inanimate through unique...

SXSW Announces 2012 Shorts and Midnight Movies |... →
Wrote this earlier today. My favorite:
Remember how 12 Monkeys was a long-form remake of the 1962 short La Jetee? Well, Life and Freaky Times of Uncle Luke takes the French short to modern-day Miami and throws in 2 Live Crew’s Uncle Luke. What say you, Terry Gilliam?
I will not deny I am very curious about this short. I may not see a lot of the longer films at SXSW, but I hope to catch...

“This is particularly glaring at a time when there is clear evidence that companies with diverse boards perform far better than the companies with more homogenous boards.”

Brad: Yeah, I do. I think, wow, that's brilliant. I should say that out loud. And then I say it out loud, and it's spectacular. It exceeds my expectations.
Jane: Right.

WHAT! I’m always amazed when other people bring up Sylvanian Families because it felt like my sis and I were the only ones who played with them at the time.
