A new blog to hate on
Seriously. This is like catnip to me:
Nothing but "fashion" shots of Hipster D-bags. The blog's subtitle? "Fight the Power" Do they even know what that means? Way to co-opt a genuine statement of outrage over injustice and render it meaningless.
Oh and this. Also.

Wow, I don't shill for EW but still. Ryan Reynolds is becoming an interesting young actor, and the bod doesn't hurt.

Amen
Via Andrew Sullivan:
"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

Why I love Matt Taibbi
He explains what a bumlicking ass-goblin is to the children confused about Hank Paulson's role in the financial crisis.
Torture, continued
As is often the case, Greenwald has a good take here on the unspeakable things being done in our name. Lakhdar Boumediene was held for as a terror suspect for eight years with no charges filed against him. And he was tortured. ABC had the presence of mind to interview Boumediene, which I'll post here.
Cool wedding invite
Takes customers away from paper invitations, which I favor, but still, kind of fun:
Tony Awards
Can't add too much to this from Andrew Osbourne at Screengrab In Exile, except my rant about the opening, which is not entirely in agreement with his assessment:
And the cast of Hair is amazing in person.
Neil Patrick Harris rocks. Also.
The Tony Awards committee and producers can rot in hell. WTF was that awful mashup opening? Poison? Really? Cole Porter is spinning like a turbine in his grave. And they're either all miked terribly or the sound tech should be fired. At least Liza's mike worked. F the Tony's. The world goes round indeed. Ok, the ending with the cast of Hair worked, but the sound still sucked.
