- I love how everyone in the mainstream media today is talking about Tumblr like they know all about Tumblr.
- “It’s full of porn!” they say. ”Tumblr hasn’t succeeded in mobile!” they also say.
- “WTF are y’all talking about?” asks everyone actually on Tumblr.
Wait… There’s porn on Tumblr??!!
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
i dont care how much help was given them by the crew. they did this themselves.
What I care about is that the producers/interns lost the backup car on the very next trip.

Hoppy beer is awful—or at least, its bitterness is ruining craft beer’s reputation. - Slate Magazine →
YES.
PREACH!
No. I’m sorry, but this is wrong.
Seven paragraphs into this poorly-researched article, the author says:
Let’s be clear: Not all craft beer is hoppy. There are many craft breweries that seek to create balanced, drinkable beers that aren’t very bitter at all, like Patrick Rue’s the Bruery in Placentia, Calif., and the Commons Brewery in Portland, Ore. Among the non-hoppy yet complex and delicious American craft beers available are Widmer’s hefeweizen, New Glarus’ cherry and raspberry beers, and Full Sail Brewing’s Session Lager (a beer specifically developed to serve as a refreshing counterpoint to overhopped beers). America’s independent breweries make beers to suit every palate, not just the ones that revel in bitterness.
Yeah, so the entire premise of the headline is disproven by the author, but somehow Slate thought this was still worth publishing. That’s lazy and should be an embarrassment for both writer and editor.
There are plenty of craft beers that aren’t hop-forward, like Mama’s Little Yella Pils from Oskar Blues, Lagunitas PILS, and Coney Island Lager. There are literally dozens of browns, stouts, and wheat beers that feature malt and yeast instead of hops. The first craft beer I ever had, when I was in college and convinced that all beer was Budweiser was St. Rogue’s Red Ale, from Rogue brewing.
A more accurate and actually useful article might be headlined Think All Craft Beer Is Too Hoppy? Think Again.
Ignoratio elenchi. The point of the article is not that all American craft beer is hoppy (and all parties agree that it isn’t). The point is that there is a growing tendency among American craft brewers to make hoppy beers that appeal more to other craft brewers than to a general public which may not like the hoppiness or have a refined enough palate to appreciate it.
I would speculate that the author wasn’t writing this to the general public, but to his fellow craft brew enthusiasts.
Also, since I doubt I’ll have too many chances to use this comparison: It’s almost the exact opposite situation from the .gif set of JJ Abrams being interviewed by Jon Stewart. He made a film that diverts from the things we loved about Trek to make it more appealing to the masses. We like the philosophy, the social commentary and the introspection, just like some people like really hoppy beers. But if you only cater to that core of die-hard fans, you won’t be able to appeal to everyone else.
Finally (since I doubt I’ll have an opportunity like this again), I moved to three different states and four different schools during TNG’s run. Star Trek and LEGO were the only constants I had during that time. Thank you, truly, for showing me it was ok to be the awkward nerdy kid who was more comfortable with science and machines than making friends with people his own age.
“ Based on the bills it submits to Medicare, the Bayonne Medical Center charged the highest amounts in the country for nearly one-quarter of the most common hospital treatments, according to a New York Times analysis of 2011 data, the most recent available. No other hospital was at the top of the price list more often. Bayonne Medical typically charged $99,689 for treating each case of chronic lung disease, five times as much as other hospitals and 17 times as much as Medicare paid in reimbursement. The hospital also charged on average of $120,040 to treat transient ischemia, a type of small stroke that has no lasting effect. That was six times the national average and 24 times what Medicare paid. For those prices, the quality of care at Bayonne Medical is no better — or worse — than that at most other New Jersey hospitals. In a 2011 state hospital quality report, Bayonne Medical scored only in the top 50 percent. But profits at the hospital, which was bankrupt in 2007, have soared in recent years, in part because it has found a way to turn some of those high billings into payments.

Hey look, someone who would fit right in with some of the members of the GOP.
“ So the scandal—the real scandal—is that 501(c)(4) groups have been engaged in political activity in such a sustained and open way. As Fred Wertheimer, the President of Democracy 21, a government-ethics watchdog group, put it, “it is clear that a number of groups have improperly claimed tax-exempt status as section 501(c)(4) ‘social welfare’ organizations in order to hide the donors who financed their campaign activities in the 2010 and 2012 federal elections.” …
Campaign finance operates by shaky, or even nonexistent, rules, and powerful players game the system with impunity. A handful of I.R.S. employees saw this and tried, in a small way, to impose some small sense of order. For that, they’ll likely be ushered into bureaucratic oblivion.
