18th Century History: To Libertines →
18thcentury:
Voluptuaries of all ages, of every sex, it is to you only that I offer this work; nourish yourselves upon its principles: they favor your passions, and these passions, whereof coldly insipid moralists put you in fear, are naught but the means Nature employs to bring man to the ends she…
The words.
It's almost 2012 so I shouldn't really have to say...
But I am never putting on make up ‘for you’. I am doing it because I like it, because it’s fun, because I like art on my face, because I like how I look with it. It’s entirely selfish, and the next person who asks me whether I am putting on make up ‘because I have a hot date’ will be punched in the ‘any respect I previously had for them’.

In this, perhaps our darkest hour, please take solace in knowing that Tom Haverford/Jean-Ralphio slash fiction exists. The world will always have a glimmer of hope in it.
Ben Wyatt totally writes tasteful slash fiction about the people of Pawnee.
Holy shit…
Um… so… who’s gonna tell Ben?

I knew Go Daddy was sleazy, but I didn’t know they were this sleazy:
See, but now things have come to a head. It turned out that not only was Go Daddy happy to put their names supporting SOPA, which is a hell of a restricting, dangerous, and censoring law, but they’d helped to write some of it and, even more offensively, were exempted from it. In other words, they’d found a way to be...

There is an EXCELLENT chance
That the reason I am so grumpy and whiney and sad and crying-y tonight is that I got maybe 3 hours of sleep in the ONE hotel room I got to share with my immediate family and my mom’s elderly dog last night. The elderly, poorly trained dog who my mom decided simply HAD to be walked every 2.5 hours. Did I mention that walking the dog meant standing with the porch door open, which was quite...

Chat with Dan Gurewitch, In Its Entirety
Me: PENIS
Dan Gurewitch: You're a grown man. A grown adult man with a job, and responsibilities. People depend on you, people seek your wisdom - the wisdom gained from years of life experience, years of maturing - maturing not into little Bill, or Billy, but Will. Indeed, William. A man who walks this Earth fully developed, having attained and subsequently become the very definition of adulthood, and what it means to leave the silly and trite pursuits and distractions of youth behind and step forward into the light, pursuing a higher, more important goal. The most recent adult human male after thousands of years of evolution - an example of the full extent of homo sapien development up until this very day, which by definition is the most advanced day in the history of our human society. You bear that torch. It is yours to bear. What you choose to do with it, is up to you.

– Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See.
I’ve been watching Stephen Fry and Mark Carwardine’s BBC special they did a few years ago - retracing the steps that Douglas and Mark took in the 1980s visiting and hoping to publicize the plight of some severely endangered animals - the aye aye,...

It’s called Graceling and she almost started shouting at me via text when I asked if I should buy it.

also I am mostly reblogging this to say: I bought graceling ages ago and immediately lost it and have NO IDEA where it could have ended up. I mean, I lost it in my three-room apartment like six months ago. where the hell...

I clapped and lol’d watching this episode. The Beethoven sketch & the weekend update off esp. It’s like what do you get a comic for Christmas? This! Thx, SNL.
(via oddlyspecific:) It’s so good to be home.
This was so great. The whole episode = grinning and clapping and making excited baby noises.
The monologue was cut out of the Hulu version :\ So watch it here!

Heck, I wish I hadn’t heard about this.

Granny Weatherwax, FTW
Granny Weatherwax: "...And that's what your holy men discuss, is it?"
Mightily Oats: "Not usually. There is a very interesting debate raging at the moment on the nature of sin. for example."
Granny Weatherwax: "And what do they think? Against it, are they?"
Mightily Oats: "It's not as simple as that. It's not a black and white issue. There are so many shades of gray."
Granny Weatherwax: "Nope."
Mightily Oats: "Pardon?"
Granny Weatherwax: "There's no grays, only white that's got grubby. I'm surprised you don't know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That's what sin is."
Mightily Oats: "It's a lot more complicated than that--"
Granny Weatherwax: "No. It ain't. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they're getting worried that they won't like the truth. People as things, that's where it starts."
Mightily Oats: "Oh, I'm sure there are worse crimes--"
Granny Weatherwax: "But they starts with thinking about people as things..."
Watchcharlietodd:
I took this video on 8th Avenue this evening. It’s a box truck whose sole purpose is to advertise the Hustler Club. How is this legal? I’m not upset with what is being advertised. I just think it’s absurd that you’re allowed to drive a vehicle that is essentially an enormous television set through city streets. My iPhone didn’t pick it up so well, but there was loud audio as...
