Katie Holmes as First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.

Multiple sources have confirmed to me that Major League Baseball is cracking down on Twitter usage, ordering MLB.com writers to cease tweeting about all non-baseball topics and scolding players for their Twitter usage in general.
Forget about Socialism in this country, we are on the fuckin’ express train to Communism.

After an excruciating headache late Thursday night, the star was rushed to an undisclosed hospital where doctors discovered he suffered a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding at the base of his brain stem), according to a source close to the situation. Michaels, 47, is currently in critical condition. “After several CAT scans, MRIs and an angiogram, [doctors] decided to keep...

What is FEAST? FEAST is a recurring public dinner designed to use community-driven financial support to democratically fund new and emerging artmakers.
At each FEAST, participants will pay a sliding-scale entrance fee for which they will receive supper and a ballot. Diners will vote on a variety of proposed artist projects. At the end of dinner, the artist whose proposal...

“The guy was tasting himself too long to apologize.”
– Oakland A’s pitcher Dallas Braden, talking about A-rod after the Yankees 3B ran across the mound during yesterday’s game.
My dislike for A-rod is well documented, yet it’s a little unfair of us to ask him to keep track of all of baseball’s “unwritten rules”. The...

Different things the heart can mean:
I really like this post for a variety of reasons.
You made me laugh.
You made me smile.
I totally agree with you.
I disagree with you so much that I’m hearting this just so I can remember to come back later, reblog it and tell you you’re an asshole.
I don’t really like what you said, but I like what the guy who blogged it before...

Hitler “Downfall Meme” gets DMCA’d →
adamiss:
Oh come on. This is art!
The Downfall meme is so well-established that it has literally become standard curriculum for digital moviemaking courses, as evidenced by this class’ page which counted 14 videos before the takedowns were issued (currently, only two of these videos remain playable).
Well then, enjoy Hitler discussing the loss of his 4G iPhone before it’s taken down.
ArtAccess Autism Initiative →
I am not a very big proponent of Facebook in general, but it is used for worthwhile causes quite a bit. The Queens Art Museum has started a discussion on their program called, ArtAccess Autism Initiative. Here is a brief description:

Gizmodo paid $10,000 for “lost” iPhone 4G →
soupsoup:
At the time of this writing, Gizmodo’s story alone is bordering on 2 million page views.
Now word is leaking out that Gizmodo paid a cool 10 grand for the iPhone prototype, which all things considered, seems like a bargain given Apple’s typically tight rein on product leaks.
$10,000 has undeniably diverted a ton of eyeballs to Gizmodo’s site, and the surge in web traffic probably...
