Holy shit

The One.

She is fighting invisible agents.

so is pole dancing an Olympic sport yet

This is incredible! I dream of being this strong and flexible!

My favorite thing about this is the other girl jumping in excitement. It’s so adorable.

This is amazing! If you’ve ever done pole dancing you know how incredibly talented this woman is.

There are actually Pole Dance Federations. There are national competitions for Miss Pole Dance and there is a Miss Pole Dance World Competition.

Adulting: Step 304: When there is a small, confined space that some humans are leaving and others are entering, the leaving...:

adulting:

This is pretty simple but really seems to confound some folks.

If you wish to enter a subway car, an elevator, a bus, an alcove - whatever small but key space - let those who wish to leave that same space do it first.

You see, human beings have mass, and take up space in the universe….

archiemcphee:

Mark a.k.a. Broken Journalist created this awesome steampunk AT-AT walker as an engagement present for his fiancée. There are so many wonderful little details on this piece. It’s clearly a labour of geeky love.

To Mark and his Star Wars and steampunk-loving lass, the Geyser of Awesome congratulations on your engagement!

The media is missing the point.

And get the joke? These political groups get tax free status while you send off taxes with every paycheck because they pretend to be Social Welfare ie Charitable groups. So, of course the Billionaire henchmen in the mainstream press are getting the real scandal wrong.

guys there are 108.4 million blogs. 1.1 Billion dollars. Each blog is $10.15.

We are not that cheap! I mean look at all this fabulous!

I mean the really amazing thing is…that means…if we all paid $10 per blog…/we/ could own Tumblr.

Thoughts on the Yahoo! Thing

Mon, 20 May 2013 16:18:49 -0400

edwardspoonhands:

First, I love Tumblr and want to keep loving it. And yes, it is immediately terrifying to hear that Yahoo (which, from a lot of our perspectives, is a laughably backwards and culturally irrelevant company) is going to own Tumblr. I sympathize.

But there are a number of circumstances in which this will not be a disaster. Let’s think:

WHY TO NOT BE TERRIFIED

David Karp is being kept on as CEO for at least 4 years. Karp’s policies made Tumblr what it is.

Tumblr is only as good as we (its creators) are. The idea that the cultural identity and creations we’ve fostered here have become worth a billion dollars is both inspiring and worrisome. But nevertheless, since we hold the value, we hold the power.

Tumblr is being kept as a separate company. This is what Google did with YouTube and significant changes were very slow to come to YouTube (though they eventually came, and are still coming). My guess is there will be no significant changes to Tumblr for at least 12 months.

They’re buying it to become more culturally relevant. They know that controlling the platform will reduce or even remove that relevance, so they would be idiots to do it.

WHEN TO ABANDON SHIP

If Tumblr requires an account somehow linked to Yahoo.

If David Karp steps down, no matter what the reasons are.

If you have to pay to reach all of your followers (FACEBOOK!)

If Yahoo begins censoring legal images and videos.

If your dashboard becomes three columns by default.

If more than 10% of the dashboard is taken up by advertising.

ADVICE TO YAHOO! PEOPLE

Don’t do any of the above things or we will leave and you will own a billion dollar hole in the internet.

Drop the exclamation point for chrissake…it’s gaudy and grammatically confusing.

Yes, I do wish that Tumblr (being a more interesting kind of company) could have found a more interesting kind of exit for its founders and investors than the old standby of selling to a floundering company trying to revitalize itself. But I think Yahoo and Marissa Mayer are intelligent enough to not totally fuck it up. Here’s hoping.
