Still think it’s a good idea? “An oil rig has exploded 80 miles off the coast of Louisiana, with 12 people overboard and one missing, the Coast Guard said Thursday morning. Rescue attempts are underway for at least 12 people, Coast Guard spokesman John Edwards told CNN. 13 people were on board the rig total, Edwards said, noting 12 have been accounted for, but one person was missing.”

1) Put Up or Shut Up: “The time is here for responsible Americans to put up or shut up. I refer specifically to those who have credibility among the guileless and credulous citizens who have been infected with notions so carefully nurtured. We cannot afford to allow the next election to proceed under a cloud of falsehood and delusion.”
2) Via Kottke: “Roger Ebert’s eating career is over, but his career as a food writer is just taking off. His new cookbook, which comes out in three weeks, is about how to prepare just about any meal in a rice cooker.”

Honestly, just read his mission statement above, for what Beck considers will be a conservative Huffington Post. It’s like it was written by a retarded chimpanzee that has forced sex with frogs. I somehow love and find it appropriate that in Glen Beck’s new media/journalism website, the fifth point of his mission statement is he’s going to make mistakes. Basically, he’s all but admitting to fuck off with the truth.
I’m not holding my breath to see just how “transparent” the site ends up being.

Just think of this the next time you decide it would make sense to eat at McDonald’s: “Things that are made from organic material age and decay, especially when they stop being alive. A piece of home-baked bread, say, left on your kitchen counter, will get moldy relatively fast. Lord knows what some ground beef would smell like after a week. But the artist Sally Davies has been photographing one McDonald’s hamburger and fries every day for 137 days. They look basically exactly the same.”
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. No wonder my stomach always feels like shit after eating fast food (not that I’m prone to eating fast food often, but the feeling is so similar, it’s unmistakable). [via]

Matthias Loebermann decided to reuse all those old pallets nobody wants and constructed a temporary housing structure that is quite striking, but especially at night lit from within.
