That one time Mr. Rogers told the neighborhood what he really thought.

IN A NUTSHELL: NET NEUTRALITY

Watch this whole thing. Brilliant. Hilarious. And sadly true. Also, apparently a whole lot of people watch John Oliver.

I NOW HAVE A BUCKET LIST: And it’s all because of this.

WANT: I don’t care. I know everything you’re going to say. It’s a bad idea. Still. Then there’s this.

IT’S ALL FUN & GAMES…until it ends in tears.

BECAUSE SOMETIMES EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD SUCKS:

well of course he’s not really… (source)

ALL THE THINGS WE KNOW NOT: The ground beneath our feet. 

UM…Is the mustache the same? I, uh, nope. Please do not try to convince me otherwise. I don’t even like the bovine varietal.

#YESALLHURRICANES: This is just one of those things you read and you think that it can’t really be a thing and then you read it again and before you know it you’ve gone down some sort of weird rabbit hole before coming back to the original thing and it still doesn’t quite make sense.

HIS MAJESTY:

price.sceptor

Prince, at the French Open. I think I would have been disappointed if he hadn’t had a scepter.

GOOGLE EARTH: Version 2.0

I BET THEY WERE SOMEONE’S FAVORITES: You think you’re holding onto some old pants?

BACON! Science takes a look at why it smells so damn good. And now I’m drooling at my desk.

TESLA + THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS X 9 = AWESOME:

EXPRESSIONS: I laughed at this entire series of pictures. Yes, I am that kind of guy.

SIGN OF THE TIMES: Heavy sigh. I would have less of an issue with this if it weren’t increasingly the norm. Meaningful analysis just doesn’t seem to find a place on most network news programs.

IT’S ALL FUN AND GAMES…until someone breaks their face in three places. Once again, SCIENCE!

HE DID WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO: The Group of Death gets taken very seriously… by a Witch Doctor.

THERE IS A VENN DIAGRAM AT WORK HERE:

SIGN OF THE TIMES #2: It would seem that this is a significant cultural benchmark. Is it weird that I think it is just not working for me?

SOUNDTRACK OF THE WEEK: Well this could be super awesome or kind of awkward. Any of you guys familiar with anything from the first season?

WHAT. THE. L? I have been waiting years for this and they yank it? Really? I am so cheesed off right now. Also, I totally understand why they did this. Still cheesed.

INCOMING!

Need something else to read?

  • I totally need to get better at #2 and there is no hope for me where #4 is concerned. I am not proud.
  • It is a great time of year for this. I especially like it outdoors.
  • Because I cannot endorse this enough…

    From the trailer, the plot of “The Giver” looks INCREDIBLY similar to that of “Divergent.”

    (I know “The Giver” was a novel created before that of “Divergent,” but..)

    “I totally need to get better at #2.”

    You should see a doctor.

    Yeah. That 50th NFL thing bothered me too. NFL L? But next year! LI! Which has me thinking of Lykke Li…

    Do we really need to engage in libel and slander for one of the few recent moral paragons that we have in American culture? Fred Rogers devoted his entire life to making the world a better place… I know that we all like to see a good man fall to feel better about ourselves, but I think that we can hold back, at least, on taking something harmless like the “Where is Thumpkin” song and using it to turn a good man’s life into a joke.

    Couldn’t have said it better myself sir.

    to be fair, the cross-section of NFL and lykke li fans probably consists of eight people. counting you and me.

    that isn’t libel nor slander. it’s taking something out of context and making it funny. no one with any sort of sense really believes mr. rogers flipped off a bunch of kids. and if they think he flipped off a bunch of adults… well, hey. who hasn’t?

    On bacon – Yes it smells and tastes delicious…I just can’t wrap my mind around how or why it got elevated to the status of a diety.

    On the e-reader – Is this really any different than using a copy of a copy of a….. How many times, in recent history, has THE original copy of an acceptable (for its purpose) document been used for swearing in? Should it really matter what form the document takes as long as the intent behind the action is the same? Is the wine and wafer really the blood and body of Christ? Or is it simply an acceptable stand in?

    “Diety” is the most apt misspelling I can imagine to describe bacon. Food (in one’s diet) that is worshiped? Brilliant.

    I didn’t even realize I misspelled it! I guess it does fit, in a way though.
