How To Be Internet Now

Maybe we’re all just too tired to be outraged over the fact that so much viral traffic is based on bullshit. I would get cynical and conspiratorial and tell you that’s how They Want You To Feel, but the sad fact is They don’t give a shit what you’re feeling so long as you click. And share. We can talk about this again next week when something similar happens.

Acts Old

The bands Black Flag and Boston have new albums out today. No, no, it’s still 2013, you didn’t magically fall into some kind of wormhole and travel backwards through time until you landed in the ’80s, although if you had you would almost certainly have used your knowledge of the era to amass a fortune so vast that the rest of us could only observe you with impotent rage and a fierce, unstinting envy as you traveled around the world to your various rich-person mansions and resorts. Hell, you could probably hire Black Flag to open for Boston at your birthday party. Man, now I want to travel back in time. I’m sorry, where was I?

Seattle Ferry Heist Stuns Easily-Amazed Town

“Unbelievable, like something out of a movie,” says the reporter covering the story of the homeless man who took a ferry for a joy ride in Seattle, which either says something about the shocking level of skepticism in the Emerald City or the low quality of film they get out west. Anyway, I woke up this morning thinking about the phrase “looky-loo,” wondering if anyone used it anymore. I guess people do! Life’s funny like that sometimes.

You Will Never Believe Why Koalas' Voices Are So Deep But I Bet I Can Guess What You're Thinking...

You Will Never Believe Why Koalas’ Voices Are So Deep But I Bet I Can Guess What You’re Thinking The Reason Is

“The pitch of male koalas’ mating calls is about 20 times lower than it should be, given the Australian marsupial’s relatively small size. Now, researchers reporting in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on December 2 have discovered their secret: gigantic koala dongs that make even elephant penises look diminutive by comparison.”

Parterre Box Is 20

“Twenty years ago, a sad and lonely gay man sat down with a pair of scissors and a glue stick and said, ‘I think I’ll make a magazine.’” What happened next will explode your heart, bring a tear to your eye and make you think differently about everyone you’ve ever met.

Are Ladies Dumb Enough To Trust Dudes About Birth Control?

“Now the chemical snip! Male pill works like a vasectomy — but will girls trust men to take it?”

Ozzy Osbourne Is 65

Happy birthday to John Michael Osbourne. There are so many groundbreaking performances to choose from it seems almost comical that we’re going with this one, and yet here we are. Anyway, authorities in whom I have the greatest trust on the matter assure me that 13, Black Sabbath’s most recent record, is actually quite good, so if that’s the sort of thing you’ve been waiting to hear consider it vouched for.

Is Bird Flu Coming For You?

“Hong Kong confirmed its first case of deadly H7N9 bird flu on Monday in a further sign that the virus is continuing to spread beyond mainland China’s borders.”
