Lisa Simpson was the first thing thing I thought of when I saw Barack Obama's speech on the Senate's shameful and irresponsible corruption-driven filibustering of the common sense gun control bill. They even furrowed their brow and scowled the same way. The disappointment is palpable.

Happy Valenstein's Day everyone! His theories may challenge the conventional assumption that mental illness is biochemical, but I'm "crazy" for him, biochemically or otherwise!

Now, I KNOW everyone thinks Valenstein's Day has become "too commercial," but I think it's as much about mental illness as ever.

I think if you forget about all the Hallmark materialism and just get back to the fundamental neurology, it's just as special and magical as it ever was. HAVE FUN TONIGHT ;)

What's funny about this picture is that it's just a picture of a blanket on a couch, but it kind of looks like a wrinkly dog with a cast on its leg. Don't be fooled, it's just a blanket.

So it’s kind of weird that people are now quoting me about hating Lana Del Rey. I don’t actually hate her, although I know a lot of people who do. Actually, I can count the number of people I hate on one hand—and none of them are pop stars.

The piece that I wrote about Lana Del Rey many months...

This is a great essay about the Lana Del Rey backlash, with a solid deconstruction of this elusive "femininity," giving good basis for why I think that word is misused and misunderstood.

"By femininity, I am not talking about what women are, but rather about all that we expect women to be. The debate over Lana Del Rey’s authenticity is interesting to me because it speaks to the lack of authenticity inherent in the definition of the feminine."

"Although both the feminine and the masculine represent social constructions, detached from the realities of who people are, it is important to realize that we attach to femininity a series of external, and therefore performable, qualities..."

Generally speaking, I hear ya, spell check. I don't have any guesses either.

In case you missed it, here is the final scene from the series finale of Entourage. Seems like a weird way to end such an amazing show.

Sexting Victim

When I was 9 years old, if I received a text message of amateur porn from a stranger, not only would I not have told my mom about it, I would've thanked god and asked the sender for more. Not this kid. To make sure we know he's a good student they have him talk about geometry: "if you have a triangle and you put a line through it in the middle." Well, that's what she said. Apparently geometry nerds are too good for unsolicited pornography. What has our education system come to?

This 9-year-old is now the first official sexting victim, though I would argue that in sexting, everyone is a victim. Who then is to blame? Society, of course. Which is to say, alcohol. 

The newscaster describes the video as being of "adults performing oral sex on a couch," which I didn't know was possible. Try as I might, a couch is very hard to fit in your mouth. But my favorite thing is the sexter's defense that he was using the oral sex couch video as a way to sell his couch. Now, if the couch came with the promise of receiving oral sex that'd be one thing, but my roommate has a couch in our apartment with the same selling points and I don't even want to sit on it.
