But, the real reason why it won’t matter is that our expectations of TV news have changed. It’s as much reality TV as it is a delivery mechanism of what’s happening. A train wreck attracts spectators. Memes are written, mashups are posted and careen around the internet. It’s better that people have an opinion of you, than don’t care at all, right?

I know I make them so I’m always going to say they’re good, but it’s really just a bunch of great music. Have a listen.
With Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and a remix of “Ignition,” it’s like 2003 all over again.
Wow. My first submission to @Medium is an Editor’s Pick. Super proud.
Jon Hamm is being treated like an actress. He hates it.

“They’re called privates for a reason. I’m wearing pants, for fuck’s sake,” he grumbled to Rolling Stone. “When people feel the freedom to create Tumblr accounts about my cock, I feel like that wasn’t part of the deal.”
What makes Hamm different from, say, Anne Hathaway, who had to weather discussion about the appearance of her nipples in her Academy Awards dress, is that Hamm isn’t used to being objectified. He has outrage left to burn, rather than being exhausted by endless appearance-based prying and insane body standards. It might be easy for men to brush off how women are treated when they’re unaffected. But when they’re subject to the same standards, men often discover quickly how difficult to endure they really are.

He is known - indeed famous for - ritual drug use, specifically mushrooms, in prosecuting his attacks on others, chiefly Bowser and various members of the Bowser, Boo and Chestnut Nation [28] tribes. In an analogue of Earth-Cuba [29], Luigi can be seen as the ‘prince-regent’ of the Mario faction, sharing his brother’s aegis and appetites (wealth, the expression of violence, mood altering substances and preference for unconventional combat techniques), waiting for his opportunity to rule alone.
Daaaaaamn.

Lead with Pain | Nathan Kontny
“She used to talk about a new product she was working on like this:
Potential customer at cocktail party: So, what’s Charm?
Me: Charm is a new, end-to-end customer support tool. It solves the problem of passing around email as a specification of work…
But when she started leading with a pain that she and her potential customer might share:
Potential customer: So, what’s Charm?
Me: Do you get a lot of support email? Yeah, me too.
People started paying a lot more attention.”

Nathan Fielder Has Fun With Marketing in "Nathan For You"
I was a huge fan of Nathan Fielder when he was on “22 Minutes.” Now he has his own show and it is… wow.
In a strange way, the logical thing would be for them to move on to other stories and come back to the Boston attacks when more information comes in. But that would seem insensitive. So they have to stay on Boston nonstop, even though they have no news about what happened or who did it.
The problem with the 24-hour news cycle in three sentences.
