If you want to be horrified about something with this whole debt ceiling mess, feel free to be horrified at the GOP for trying to hold the economy hostage. But, if you’re a Democrat, you don’t really need to worry too much. Because man oh man, is John Boehner screwed right now. He has essentially…

BREAKING NEWS: Men like their wives to be thin and...
Thanks to my friend Karen for alerting me to this radical development.
Highlights:
“The fact that men tend to be happier with a thinner wife may not be surprising, but Meltzer and her colleagues also found that women who had a lower BMI than their husbands were significantly more satisfied with their marriage over time.”
But I am still not surprised!

Tumblr has become terribly unstable. My theme just changed format for no reason whatsoever, my posts are showing up multiple times, posts are getting lost after I send them.
I can’t deal with trying to hack together fixes for this. I can’t spend time putting together posts only…
This is probably an annoying thing to say, but I didn’t know people took Tumblr so seriously....

I seriously ate mac and cheese every day last week and that did not happen to me.

I read six books last week
I was on vacation in Maine (did you miss me?!) and I read six books! These are the books I read:
-The second and third Hunger Games books.
These I actually recommend. Seriously.
-Rescue by Anita Shreve
Meh. Doable.
-Ape House, by Sara Gruen.
Even if this is one of the only books of your mom’s Kindle and you are really bored do not ever, under any circumstances, attempt to read...
The least appealing first paragraph I've ever read
“ON a recent Friday night, Bebe Zeva, a teenage fashion blogger, journalist and model based in Las Vegas, was dining at the restaurant Lodge in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with a group of 20-something contributors to the online magazine Thought Catalog.”
Oh my.
Some quick thoughts on this article:
-Thought Catalog is just a giant #firstworldproblems meme for recent college grads.
-I...

I read the Village Voice article on the train to work in the morning a couple of days ago, and so many things about it struck me as strange at the time. Are they really saying that the number of children arrested for sex trafficking is the same as the number forced into it? There is obviously such a wild discrepancy there it kind of blows my mind. Given that premise, let’s discount the...
