The East Coast-West Coast Internet Rivalry
topherchris:
Let the line be drawn: I represent the East Coast both in geography and spirit, along with all the fine people of New York and of course, Tumblr HQ. In this scenario, I suppose that means Bad Boy Records could be Tumblr, Inc. So, some Eastside heavies would be Tumblr, Connected Ventures (College Humor), IAC (Vimeo, 592 others), muxtape, iminlikewithyou, Huffington Post, NonSoceity,...

Huskies hold off Rams 68-63 →
Sorry guys, I just can’t get enough.
Virginia Commonwealth’s basketball team has been all but impervious to losing in the Siegel Center during the three-year tenure of coach Anthony Grant.
Only two rival Colonial Athletic Association teams have been able to walk out of VCU’s Broad Street home with victories.
Northeastern became one of them last night.
Huskies leave with a win that could matter later... →
The Huskies not only pulled off a victory last night, the first loss for VCU at home this season, they began their road trip by winning at Old Dominion.
If you are a coach for any of the other CAA teams, right about now you’re thinking, “Yikes.”
YES. YES. YES. Let’s go, Huskies!

Midori: if you were a boy, I might do you just because of the Italian.
Midori: just saying.
Liz: oh my god you just inspired me
Liz: to go learn Italian things to moan
Liz: my god I love you.

Here we go, Huskies... →
The night should have been a celebration of Northeastern basketball, a night for Bill Coen, his staff and his players to take a bow at having cracked the top echelon of the Colonial Athletic Conference.
After three years, the Huskies have battled their way to the top of a difficult league. Now the tricky part will be fighting to stay there.

Stop singing the lyric “droppin’ bombs on their moms” under my breath when ordering some of these air strikes in Pakistan. Pretty sure Hillary heard me this morning.

"it's not all I think about, I swear!"
Ben: mom says SJ is as hot as Boston is cold
Midori: it's cold in SJ?
Ben: no, SJ is as unreasonably hot as here is unreasonably code
Midori: ohh
Midori: hee hee.
Midori: yes, it's unreasonably "code" here, baby.
Ben: damnit
Ben: freud.
Ben: fail.
Oh, how I have missed thee, New York City. No one turns heads quite like you do.
I love how scenic the train from Boston to New Jersey is.
(It almost even makes up for the inevitable delays.)
((maybe.))
It is majorly cold.
Luke: I need a face-warming device.
Ben: Try a headcrab. I hear they're remarkably effective.
Barack Obama's letter to Malia and Sasha

ledenes:
Dear Malia and Sasha, I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you have. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it...
Attention Shoppers: Microsoft Opens Retail... →

Via David Chartier:
Microsoft counters the “Apple Store” with “Retail Experience Center,” a name that both lacks the company’s brand and contains far too many meaningless syllables. Who the hell is in charge of naming Microsoft’s stuff, and why haven’t they been tossed on their ass yet?
I had to mouseover the link to confirm that it’s not actually an Onion headline. Sad.
