Shouts to Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th in SF for opening, basically, a Ross Dress For Less. It looks like they're fencing Saks' stuff in there.

Feature idea for social media companies: just because I turned the sound on for a video doesn't mean I want it to blast at maximum volume.

Can hardly believe it's been ten years already since conservatives started explaining how Bush's handling of Katrina was actually good.

upcoming Twitter seasons: pumpkin spice, Halloween name change, Black Friday, war on Xmas, new years. (no set date: Franzen mockery)
The "pumpkin spice" twitter season will be fully replaced by "backlash to "pumpkin spice twitter season" within a few years.

This is the smallest, dumbest thing, but I don't like how my Twitter app now capitalizes "Retweeted" in the explanatory blurb.
Worse, in the browser "retweeted" isn't capitalized. Why can't they deliver a consistent experience? Maddening.

The iPad app keeps getting updated -- and I think it's actually a universal app that has the same code, but different layouts - for all iOS devices. But even though it keeps getting the new features (unlimited DMs, new link preview thing, capitalizing "Retweeted"), they somehow refuse to add in the new quoted RT function. It's bizarre.

The "almond milk candy" I got from the dollar store tastes great … after the initial 10-30 seconds of unidentifiable grossness.

There's a reasonable chance Trump's running because he realized he wasn't even the most hated billionaire Donald these days.

Ostrovsky's Comedy Central project fell through months earlier "for unrelated [to plagiarism] reasons"… but same root cause: lack of talent.
"In other words, Review is a satire not just of reality shows, but of New Golden Age of Television antihero dramas, hiding in plain sight. It takes the basic "man ruins all he cares about in the name of something that makes him nominally freer and more powerful" structure of the genre and plays it for deliberate laughs. Instead of a meth empire or a mafia family or a double life, he commits his bad acts in the name of the television show that chronicles them. He's Walter White, but without the sense that there's anything tragic about him -- he's just an oblivious faux-smart buffoon. It's a satire of the middle-class middle-aged white-male entitlement and privilege that all the big dramas treat as the stuff of life."

"The ridiculous brogue is Review's way of denying him a shot at forgiveness, of pointing out that expecting your awful conduct to grant you a grand redemptive story arc is a grotesque and laughable notion. As such, Review sends up not only antihero drama, but its opposite: the life-affirming comedy, in which endearingly adorkable characters from Pawnee to Park Slope administer laughs, love, and just a li'l bit of learning, one tumblr gif set at a time. Forrest doesn't teach us shit. No hearts are warmed, no lessons learned, no sins redeemed, no tragic arcs completed. "The world needs bad men," True Detective once asserted. Review gives bad men zero out of five stars."

I understand the "don't share the shooting video" people, but why am I seeing this way more now than for Samuel Dubose or Walter Scott?
Half of the people I'm seeing complain about the video on FB are the same people that were resharing those death videos and defending why it was necessary to do so.
