– Gay folk write odes to pet pups.

– Folksy new site for Kubler Absinthe. The “Creativity” tab suggests an upcoming CGM effort where people can “contribute to the myth of Absinthe.” See videos for preparing mixed drinks. They’re cool, and don’t you love that background music? Also check out “fact and fiction” and the how-to-drink, which I thought was really neat. By Decon/NY.

– Palin inspires rampant web subculture. So many options! Brings back fond memories of Miss South Carolina.

Really good resource on getting paid to blog.

– M. M. McDermott is not impressed by Millennials, but he’ll cater to them on the Baltimore Sun’s hipster spin-off. While reading a stylebook and wearing a nametag labeled “COCK.”

People watch skipped ads. Yeah, yeah.

Gorillas on the run. He-he.

– Best time to make an apology: after ruining somebody’s life on a drunken binge. Many just seem like sympathizers though. Way to go, Pennsylvania Department of Health.

Retro Apple and Microsoft logos.

– Meat-eating as mental illness. Homage to Hannibal Lecter? Just too much weird shit going on.

The toughest generation in modern history isn’t the one that talks about resilience on social media — it’s the boomers who bought houses on single incomes, raised families without parental leave, and rebuilt the economy from the ground up without asking for accommodations
