On The Ways That People Pay Their Bills
@mishaps oh wow. that is incredible. I suppose this kind of thinking is why the banks have all of the money and I don't.

On The Ways That People Pay Their Bills
If all of my bills weren't set to automatically pay themselves, I'd either be in jail for never paying them or catastrophically depressed about my spending. This way, I live happily in oblivion with the computers just snickering behind my back while they bounce the imaginary money around the internet like it's just this make believe thing that we invented.
My bank even has this fantastic service in which every month they print out a check and mail it to my landlord. I don't know how this works or why/if it's free, but it makes me feel less bad about putting my pennies in an evil corporate bank.

At least Tumblr's magic bookmarklet includes a citation by default. Is that how Pinterest borrowsteals? I still haven't been invited to that party.

On Why Will Leitch Burned All His Baseball Cards: A Q&A
@boyofdestiny at least every other time I make the long trek home to visit my parents, the issue of the boxes of comics in storage is raised briefly and I have the same reaction. I am perfectly happy with them taking up space in their house but have no real interest in hauling them home to take up residence in my own increasingly full storage space. I guess that if they had to be sold or burnt that I'd really like it to happen without my involvement.

On 'Time' Magazine Now 23 Cents an Issue
@ylhollander One time I subscribed to Esquire with 600 airline miles. I'm convinced that they'll be sending me issues and/or bills for renewals for the rest of my natural life.

On How's That 'Times' Paywall Doing? Eh, So-So
I know that it's easy to cheat the paywall on the web, but being able to browse through the whole paper on the iPad app is actually really very nice.

I like the shot of CoolDad and how obediently everyone in the front row stays behind the blue tape imaginary barricade.

Dara Brown is awfully good at slipping news of baby animal deaths into cute captive baby animal puff pieces.
