Tim Gunn is doing the British red carpet coverage
You can keep Seacrest and Rancid.
ideleteme asked: Did you turn off replies? I could have sworn you had them and for a second I thought you unfollowed, but tumblr says that is not the case. (Unless tumblr is lying and then just ignore this because it makes me look like a stupid jackass). I was going to bring the funny (not really), but it's too late now!

MY OSCAR PREDICTIONS
sarahheartburn:
You’ll fall asleep on the sofa before the Best Picture award is given and wake up half an hour later with a stiff neck. You’ll oversleep tomorrow and wake up with heartburn from the chips and dip. You’ll stand around the coffee machine at work agreeing with everyone that they were especially awful this year (despite James Franco’s striptease) and you swear you won’t watch them...

One of the questions I’m often asked is “what comes after Generation X & Y” Well thankfully it’s not Generation Z (Although there are references to a “Z” generation) it’s GENERATION C. A generation of people who have grown up connected, communicating, content-centric, computerized, community-oriented, always clicking. This generation is going to have massive impact on businesses. By...
KNOW THIS
The reason why one of my daughters has come to stay for the weekend, and why her mother and I have taken a day’s leave tomorrow, is so that we can all spend A Night With Oscar™. Lame as that may be, it’s turning out to be a good weekend, and I expect you people to bring the funny.
Carry on.

When you see McCain and Lieberman together, you should ask which war they want to start, join, or escalate. I pull their quote out to make sure those on the left pushing for U.S. action...

I hope blisters rep on your fucking skin.as a result. I do. I hope you squirm in unending freindlessness. I wish for nothing than the most painfull fucking death. I hope you learn to love whatever love you have managed to cull because that pain you engendered, you stupid cunt, it is all you will have left.
Pro tip: don’t unfollow littleorphanammo. EVER.
'Embedded Librarian' on Twitter Served as... →
infoneer-pulse:
What if a reference librarian was assigned to a college course, to be on hand to suggest books, online links, or other resources based on class discussion? A media-studies course at Baylor University tried the idea last semester, with an “embedded librarian” following the class discussion via Twitter.
At the start of each class session, the professor, Gardner Campbell, asked the...

– JQAdams: Stop cheering along the Yemeni revolution

Stop cheering along the Yemeni revolution
jqadams:
Tunisia is ready. Egypt is ready. Morocco and Algeria are probably ready. Bahrain is ready. Libya is necessary. Yemen is not ready or necessary. Yemen has more in common with Afghanistan than with Egypt. It is tribal, it is already chaotic. The central government in Yemen is like the Afghan central government — disastrous but necessary.
This is a joke right?

ziatroyano:
Out of every dollar that funds Wisconsin’ s pension and health insurance plans for state workers, 100 cents comes from the state workers. How can that be? Because the “contributions” consist of money that employees chose to take as deferred wages – as pensions when they retire – rather than take immediately in cash. The same is true with the health care plan. If this were not so...

Great scoop by my ex-True/Slant coworker Michael Hastings in Rolling Stone. Pullquote:
The U.S. Army illegally ordered a team of soldiers specializing in “psychological operations” to manipulate visiting American senators into providing more troops and funding for the war, Rolling Stone has learned – and when an officer tried to stop the operation, he was railroaded by military...
