100 Birthday Party Ideas #27
For my birthday party, I’m having a pool party, but it’s not at a pool. It’s not outdoors at all. It’s a pool party at a bar. There’s no pool though (no billiards either, you jokers!). Like, there’s not going to be a kiddie pool or a hose or anything. No water.
It’s just at a bar and everyone needs to wear a bathing suit. Guys and girls. Just wearing...

katgeorge:
Last night I was sexually assaulted in the street (well, tonight, but I’m publishing today so I’ve edited as such). Let me be clear on this; I wasn’t actually physically harmed in anyway, but I was put under threat for my bodily integrity (that I might be raped or beaten), which, in Australia at…

If you look up the word “powerviolence” on Wikipedia you find it’s a musical subgenre of hardcore punk, who’s sound was typified by bands emphasizing speed, brevity, bizarre timing breakdowns, and constant…

Before designing the monsters in the MGMT “Kids” video, Bob Weisz fast-forwarded through every 80’s monster movie he could find and cut together the best parts for an inspiration-reel. The reel itself is so stunning and grotesque with such beautiful and memorable and just plain weird effects and images. But really I love it most for being another example of the wonderful...

gabydunn:
Part of me thinks it’s too soon to be writing about this because I don’t think I’ve completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I’m still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled up inside, but maybe this can start a helpful discussion in terms of women and comedy.
Last night, I was...

FOR ONE DAY ONLY
No one is responding to my twitter or Facebook posts about hanging out in NY. Is everyone really gone? So many people stay in LA for christmas. I already forgot what NY is like during the holidays. Apparently abandoned?
I am literally going to get a room at the Ace Hotel and camp out there all day today and tonight. If you want to hang out, I will be there, pretending
to be cool and rich.
Not looking back, just forward!

I took this video on 8th Avenue this evening. It’s a box truck whose sole purpose is to advertise the Hustler Club. How is this legal? I’m not upset with what is being advertised. I just think it’s absurd that you’re allowed to drive a vehicle that is essentially an enormous television set through city streets. My iPhone didn’t pick it up so well, but there was loud...

SPIN has stupidly brilliantly handed the reins of our November magazine to one of the most respected comedians alive — Patton Oswalt, the guest editor of the “Funny” Issue (on sale October 25th). Our cover stars: hip-hop’s smartest smartasses Das Racist.
