they haven’t thought to redesign the site so that old event invitations are removed when the date of the event passes?

John Boehner is Such a Piece of Shit
Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-Ohio) faults Republicans for providing encouragement to the most extreme opponents of reform. Last week, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) warned that anti-abortion Democrats would suffer politically if they voted for the health care bill; he singled out Driehaus, saying he “may be a dead man” and “can’t go home to the west side of Cincinnati” because “the...

Richard Lloyd, Guitar Teacher
It’s just crazy to me that Richard Lloyd could be your guitar teacher. That you just, like, found on Craigslist:
Richard Lloyd is looking for and accepting new guitar students. Richard is best known as founding member of the band Television, and one of the founders of the rock club CBGBs. Mr. Lloyd is world renowned for his prowess on the guitar, and in addition, wrote a guitar instruction...
WatchTwin Sister: Color Your Life
If you get a chance, listen to “I Want a House.” That song made me love this band, and I spent a month or two listening to them while I walked home from work, over the Brooklyn Bridge in the freezing cold and dark, thinking that the singer’s accent was from Sweden. Or Norway, maybe? (Turns out they’re from Long Island; as affectations go, I...

And this surprises...who?
“A staffer in Rep. Anthony Weiner’s office reported…tea partiers…left a couple of notes. One was signed with a swastika. The other note called the congressman “Schlomo Weiner,” among other hate-filled words.”

Kitchen Front is a London-based restaurant that “serves accurate re-creations of the (mostly horrible) food eaten in Britain during WWII’s rationing period.” The concept is a level of brilliant I don’t have a word for, and I love that the people behind it have thrown themselves so into the whole thing that Time Out gave it “two stars for food quality and full marks...

Die Antwoord are going to Coachella, probably
It’s been just over a month since a friend emailed me a link to their music, and I blogged here on Boing Boing. They had fans before, but what exploded in these past four weeks is the stuff labels and artists dream of: Die Antwoord became a living meme of unprecedented velocity, propelled into global megawebstardom faster than any act I’ve ever seen. Ninja tells me that in addition...

Blind Discouraged from Exercising
My vision is really bad. Like, if I don’t have my contacts in/glasses on, and we’re conversing (which would never happen, because I wouldn’t do anything but sleep without that stuff, but I’m trying to tell a story here), it may *seem* like I am talking to you, but I am really talking to a bunch of blurry color swatches with a familiar voice. Get it? I need help seeing.
