How To Not Storm Off the Internet in a Huff

Yesterday, a grown man threw a tantrum and stormed off the internet. Because we bullied him. It wasn't pretty. Are we proud? Well, it's a living. We spent today mulling over some wise advice we received. And, of course, it's true. We should be constructive! In the spirit of friendship, we'll explain how to survive the Internet without letting the bastards get you down. Heed our words, and you'll never have to shut down another blog. Or quit a message board, or ban yourself from a comments section. Never again will you hear the sirens of the waaaahmbulance. More »

Bill Clinton and the Billionaire Boys' Club

As we learned in Vanity Fair yesterday, Bill Clinton has spent his post-presidential life gallivanting about the world with a small cadre of scummy billionaires. All aging boomers, all sadly unwilling to mature, all addicted to sex with women a third their age. Who are they? What do they want from us? (Hint: if you are a girl aged 14-22, they want to have sex with you.) Let's meet the whole crew! They are just like Entourage except gross old billionaires. More »

Latest by SlickaNicka: @camillus8: You can't redeem yourself that easily, Camillus, after your little Monica rant. That kinda talk, even in (poor) jest, is the kind of logic that keeps females segregated from society and in burkas, cause the poor fellas just more »

Your Twitter-Stalking Power List

Andew Krucoff asked Rex Sorgatz which Twitter feeds he should follow. If those names mean something to you, you may already be familiar with this list. (Which is, in Krucoff's words, "a little tech, a little New York, a little media and lots of girls, girls, girls.") If not, here are the Internet Glitteratti's most personal thoughts and dreams, expressed in 140 characters or less. After the jump, the 23 people you Tweet in heaven. More »

12 Views Of Manhattan You'll Never See

Santiago Calatrava's improbable residential skyscraper on South Street, a tower of boxes as unsteady as Jenga blocks at a late stage of the game, is dead. And the Port Authority is scaling back the Spanish architect's daring design for the financial district's PATH station. The architectural critics will no doubt bemoan the loss of New York's civic ambition, and wonder why rival world cities such as Shanghai and Dubai have taken up the mantle. (Oh, yes: authoritarian regimes, unbridled capitalism and cheap labor, but let's not go there.) Truth is that the drawing boards are littered with visions of Manhattan that were never realized. Here are my dozen favorites.

What is the World's Shittiest Blog?

I'm guessing that Time's "Most Overrated Blogs" feature doesn't include Tumblrs. There's a readers' poll that goes with the article—we're on it, natch—but I like that Time has picked a few blogs out for particular ridicule. "Reading Slashdot these days is like visiting the IT guy at work. He's infuriatingly smug and cares passionately about stuff you don't care about, and views your lack of interest as further confirmation of his intellectual superiority. Enjoy." Jim Cramer's money.com rantings? "The place to go to be reassured that the financial market is fine, just fine and Bear Stearns isn't in any trouble at all. Be sure to check back later in the day to see if Jim has posted any updates." More »

Latest by Manator Is Sorry: I can agree with icanhascheezburger.com sucking cat scrotum. When I was 15 (about nine years ago) this type of language became real popular in teen orientated chats (like Yahoo chat...) and it was mostly girls that were doing the talking. Anyways - more »
