You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Mostly, "Does this mean that I'll have to trip over extension cords and figure out how to walk around camera crews and reporters when I'm trying to get to class again?" I really don't know enough of the details to have any other opinion.

Ah, Daddy seahorse with baby in a pouch! Is my interpretation, anyway.

Also, there are people who are responding to pretty much every article in the local paper about something going wrong with, "Joe should have done more." Latest one where I noticed this was an article today about a sinkhole that just opened up on campus. This stopped being funny several months ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So the Gawker sites went to tumblr as their backups. This is...this is kinda laughable, honestly. I'm pretty sure they can't meet their commitments to their advertisers with a platform so different from their normal one, and one chosen so late.
They're ridiculously slow, and it's not like Tumblr is known for its stellar uptime itself. There's no easy way to do what many of the stalwarts want to do--discuss the articles with the other stalwarts. I'm not even seeing that their formats make it easy to reblog, and they haven't (thankfully) instituted the Disqus commenting system.
Right now, when I click on anything, I get the spinning wheel and a State Farm interstitial. Maybe they are making their commitments after all.
Their business model continues to amaze and amuse.

I get ads saying not to vote for the House incumbent because he went to college where he learned to hate America. Just like Obama. Hand to Gaia, the ad literally says that.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's a surprisingly popular major!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It really does. The Tumblr format is letting me do what I prefer which is quickly skim the articles and not have to deal with pretending I care that people are talking about it. But I am so not the target market. And I shouldn't be either. So I am boggled by their decisions here. Okay, I am boggled by their decisions a lot.

Yes, this. It's kind of my preferred format for Jezebel, I have to admit.
Work stuff: it looks like we are on track to hit our Nov. 16th release date, whoo! We just found out our ship party (which I have been told will be heavy on the DRINK HEAVILY options) is also Nov. 16th. I'm totally treating it as a pre-funk for my birthday the next day.

I just saw six political ads in a row. The first and third were the same Romney ad.
