I'll be attending a masquerade this Monday. Theme is Film and I would be really happy if you guys could give me some tips about some messy and genuinely weird character?

The most disturbing I could come up with

On corporate meetings, duh.

Specifically, on buttery, flaky croissants imported daily straight from the 6th Arrondisement to the boardrooms in the Renzo Piano 'Titanic'-level monstrosity of a building they have the honor of calling their headquarters.

They've got to get rid of Sulzburger, Jr. In the meantime, those with university affiliations, use your proxies until you just can't proxy anymore...or switch to the LA Times or Washington Post. Of course I say that, but I've never been able to quite do it myself.

(Btw, don't you remember, we all had to pay for paper subscriptions once upon a time...and I did it. But it's damn near impossible to do so after receiving it free. On my laptop.)

the post is just such a piece of crap though. It's got to be the methadone of the newspaper world.

Obviously, I am using my educational discount ;-)

I am a New Yorker, so I need to know what's going on in New York, so it's NYT for me. And again - if we don't pay for quality journalism, we will end up with a bunch of blogs and Fox news.

The building is stupid though - I agree. I wonder how much money they have sunk and if it will ever pay off. And it's in such a SHIT area!

Just got back from my interview - got an internship working pre-production on the new Wes Anderson film. Very excited!

That's awesome. Love his work and hope his next film is amazing.

Alex from A Clockwork Orange (1971).

Good one. I had to choose a costume for carnival because a friend was celebrating his birthday at that time. In cologne. No escape from carnival there, so first costume for two decades. I was surprised that i had almost everything in my closet to do Alex. Pretty easy to do and it came out pretty good. I skipped the jockstrap though...

can you not post screencaps of porn movies on a forum which people might browse at work or public places.

here's hoping the new york times continues their studies on how major US companies avoid paying taxes. the gov't needs to grow some balls and explain exactly why american companies find it more profitable to lobby congress and set up offshore headquarters to avoid paying taxes rather than invest in their own country and resources.

Seriously, how epic was this G.E. article? For fucking shame, man. This is one thing that absolutely rattles me about Obama - his inability to take the corporate America by the balls.

On a side note, it's articles like this that I will happily pay for. No daily beast or fuckington post or other shit rag cum glorified blog can do this.

Excellent article for sure. Marcy wheeler consistently puts out pieces of this caliber, Yves smith at naked capitalism does with some frequency.

Delicious, surprisingly rich. Less lemon and sharpness than many Nihonshus.
