The alternative, which is well worth it, is to find new channels you can trust. An RSS feed with only bloggers who respect your time. Relentless editing of who you follow and who you listen to and what gets on the top of the pile.

Holy shit. Dear Mark, feel free to keep posting the contents of my brain all over the Internet.
This day was awesome. I haven’t had a drink since dinner last night and I spent the entire day relaxing (after a nice bike ride).

To anyone who was saying yesterday that Obama’s announcement on same-sex marriage was too little, too late: This is the point that really matters. He might have taken the cowardly route and taken far too long to do it, but the fact that he did say what he said is an extremely important step in the...

adulting:
… unless you are having sex with them, in which case it wouldn’t be other people’s sex lives, it’s your joint sex life.
A non-comprehensive list of shit that is none of your business:
• Who is fucking whom • Who likes what in bed • How many people someone’s slept with • What other people’s orientations are, if they’ve not felt like coming out and telling you. If they have, keep that...
