"I wish the self-appointed defenders of Chris Brown were as angry at him for beating Rihanna as they are at me (and others like me) for reminding me that he did. Domestic violence is never, ever, ever okay. It is inexcusable." First time I've read through that report in its entirety.

Samantha Bee's perfectly perfect response to the women in the military debate. So we can all agree she's one of the best women on television, right?

The sound of ice speaking. Even better: being on a boat that's causing the ice to do that, while watching your life flash before your eyes.
2012.02.13
The trailer for 'Iron Sky'. This could be the moment you were waiting for: a new worst/best movie of all time. Two words: 'nazis' and 'moon.'

The Japan tsunami: a year later. Wow. Our bridge fell down and it took
years to fix that.

Amazon reportedly thinking about opening some *actual* stores. Hey, you know what that would change? Taxes on your purchases.

The NYT review of Jay-Z performing at Carnegie Hall last night. "Fans of disposable income -- earning it, spending it, rapping about it, listening to someone rap about it -- had much to cheer about during this concert, the highest-profile hip-hop show ever at Carnegie Hall."

Bon Iver turned down playing the Grammy's next Sunday. "Me and Brian [Joseph] and a bunch of our fucking friends and we were given accolades for [the record], and all of a sudden we were being asked to play music that had nothing to do with that. We kind of said 'fuck you' a little bit and they sort of acted like they wanted us to play, but I don't think they wanted us to play."

Your daily Komen-Planned Parenthood debacle roundup:
Komen reverses its decision and restores PP funding ... sorta. They still need to *apply* for grants, which can *then* be denied.
Komen also quietly halted $12m in stem cell research funding, which of course was realized because
every eye on the planet is on their financials. The icing on the cake? Nothing says support breast cancer awareness like
promoting pink handguns. Somewhere the employees of The Onion are crying a river over having
absolutely no headlines left to make up.
2012.02.03The video for Madonna's new single, featuring M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj. See what she did there? It's a giant Super Bowl publicity stunt. The song would be really good if you just took Madonna out of it.

Mena Trott makes predictions about the fashion in season 5 of Mad Men. "Oh, Betty. For years, she has been immaculately dressed and presented as the facade of the perfect 1950s/1960s wife. With her cinched waists and billowing skirts, she's held onto late 1950s and early 1960s fashion the longest. In season four, she's married to the anti-Don, the boring Henry Francis and is getting a little too familiar with the bottle. When you're married to Henry Francis, you just don't care any more. That should be embroidered on a pillow."
