Tumblr's Future
Tumblr is the most amazing user experience ever. From the reader’s perspective, it’s like any other blog, but with less usable navigation. And it’s associated, in my mind at least, with a certain techno-hipster-douchebag culture — juliaallison

Most people who read obituaries are familiar with the two most common euphemisms used— “died suddenly” to mean “committed suicide” and “confirmed bachelor” to mean “homosexual”. … * “convival”: habitually drunk * “did not suffer fools gladly”: monstrously foul-tempered * “gave colourful accounts of his exploits”: a liar * “a man of simple tastes”: a complete vulgarian * “a powerful negotiator”: a...

These are microformats, lists, blog archives, and any other repeating elements. Now this reminds me of proteins, which have...

I’d like to know why introverts can generally understand the extroverted nature, although they prefer not to be that way; but extroverts often seem to miss that there may be a subset of people who don’t enjoy large group icebreakers, office events to get everyone mingling, etc. Is this an education issue, due to a minority of people being introverted? Or is it a matter of “does not compute!”...

Recipe For Cum by Hamilton G. This recipe for theatrical cum looks like real cum, has no sugar (so as to discourage yeast), and has a neutral taste so that you can really get into the fantasy. Because it contains raw egg white you should make it fresh right before use and discard the leftovers. If you are concerned about using raw egg, either don’t swallow it (half the fun!), or use...
