“I cant make you agree with me or not, but hopefully this will give you an idea...”
– Words. I’ve been grading this shit for so long that none of it even matters anymore. I mean, your job in an argumentative paper is to make me agree with you. But what the motherfuck ever, ya know? The fourth quarter starts next week. Research papers!

"The Way We Live Now: Class Dismissed"- Walter... →
Although he makes some good points in his interrupter-heavy prose, the main problem with the idea Kirn is proposing here is that it would slash every school’s faculty by 25%. Boosting a state’s economy by getting rid of its high school’s twelfth grades would be negated by slashing that many jobs. Not to mention that the people who teach seniors are usually the most proven and...

brokedownpalace: This is Michelle Trachtenberg rapping Nicki Minaj’s verse from Robin Thicke’s “Shakin’ It 4 Daddy,” while traveling through the Holland Tunnel and being filmed by James Van Der Beek. So, basically, the best thing that ever happened. Hot.

Predictably awesome. Good episode by the way. About that scene when Sawyer is drinking Dharma whiskey: Who in the original Dharma Initiative was like, “Okay, so we’re starting this project in a few years? First things first. I guess I better wrangle a couple of oak barrels and start stirring”? Is that whiskey with an e or whisky with no e? So many questions, Lost!

This is easily Simmons’ most well-researched, give-a-shit column each year. He does an especially good job with it here. I can’t say I disagree with any of his picks. And considering that I’ve unsuccessfully tried every way possible to trade for Kevin “Daggers” Durant* in NBA 2K10, I guess they’re on the same page. *Two years ago, I had Durant on my video game...

Every single one of these shirts is gorgeous. I’m guessing they’re super-expensive since price is not mentioned anywhere on the site and one of their sellers is Barney’s.

Every time he hears or reads someone use the word “literally”—usually incorrectly—he tweets it.

As far as the radio goes, the best song not called “On to the Next One.” The video kind of shoots itself.

“He was going to propose to Juliet! Don’t you hate it when you are about to propose to someone and a nuclear magic time pocket sucks them into a well and then also sucks an entire construction site down on top of them and they bash a hydrogen bomb in with a rock, but even that doesn’t work, and it’s just like: wedding’s off.

I disagree about the bizarre John Mayer interview in Playboy—I thought it was kind of hilarious and honest, even if that honesty is really just a really dishonest pose. But Lambert is pretty funny here. Shots fired!

leitch: Thanks, Vulture. I’ve seen all of these movies, save three, and I still don’t think the Best of ’00s list is anywhere near ready.

Throwing his hat into the Vampire Weekend ring, Christgau proves why he’s—even at 67—the best living rock critic. The guy invented the Pazz & Jop poll for Christgau’s sake.
