There is a dog here! We need to acquire more animal related books.
So cute. Sooooo cute. And it was interesting to see who in the office was the “awkwardly pat the puppy on the head” type and who was “get down on his knees to get a face full of puppy kisses” type.
Critics’ Reactions to the Final Season 3 Scene in Game of Thrones
“Yes, this is problematic. The optics on this scene are really bad, which I can see you have noticed, because you have eyes. Problem one is that there aren’t very many people of color people on this show to begin with, and problem two is that when there are, they tend to be acting out “tribal” stereotypes and/or cast in the role of slaves. And this final scene featured largest crowd of brown faces we’ve ever seen, lifting the world’s blondest woman up as their messiah and praising her for saving them from bondage. It’s like George W. Bush’s secret fantasy of how he thought the invasion of Iraq would go for him (including the blond wig).
The original post had lots more examples, but this is the one that made me laugh.

Thought experiment! What if, instead of starring 23-year-old Leo and 21-year-old Kate, Titanic had starred 17-year-old Leo and 16-year-old Kate?
ETA: Because Rose is supposed to be 17. We don’t know how old Jack is supposed to be, but I’d assume 17 or 18.
Kate looks like she could be Leo’s babysitter.

I’d give a lot of money to see teenaged FNL actors, with their original terrible hair and eyebrows and baby fat, act out their dramatic, sexy scenes. Like, 16-year-old Minka and 16-year-old Taylor fighting then making out in the rain while Pearl Jam plays? Hilarity for days.

She looks like Taylor Swift’s older, nerdier sister!

This is my new favorite blog.
New favorite outfit. The matching lipstick is killer, too. Sidenote: do we find Gilly a little annoying? I’m worried she’s going to become intolerable when GoT gets to the crying-on-the-boat-journey part.

Hey Tumblrinos,
I am looking for a roommate for my 2br in Cobble Hill for a July 1st move-in. My blog is pretty cool so I’m a delight to live with, obviously. If you’re also pretty fun and you need a NYC pad, please message me on here or email me at ndotsimons@gmail.com.
All the details are in this Craigslist post. Rent is $1150 for a month-to-month lease, gas/cable electric are shared on top of that, you’d have the bigger bedroom, no pets, please enjoy Breaking Bad because this summer is going to be FULL OF IT.
I’m showing the apartment ASAP. Again, message me here or email me if you’re into it.
Please reblog if you’re already set for housing but you want to help spread the WORD! THANKS!!!
I’ve been super jealous of Natasha’s apartment for ages—first off, because Natasha is awesome and hilarious and cool. Second, because her neighborhood is gorgeous and packed with great restaurants and stores. Third, because she has a ginormous kitchen (easily three times the size of mine, sigh) and the living room/bathroom/bedrooms are spacious, too. Fourth, because she throws great Oscar parties.
If you or someone you know are looking for a new spot, stop looking, this is it.

Love that the mother of the bride got all dressed up too!
the dream.
I probably shouldn’t show this to my sister (who got married a month ago) but I do believe that was the dream dress she set out to find before falling in love with something completely different. Not the short length, necessarily, but the covered-up lace top with sleeves and non-lace skirt. We went to six (or was it seven?) different bridal shops in one weekend and had a bitch of a time finding a dress that was half lace with sleeves.
But anyway, I think the dress she chose (strapless with a sort of embossed white-on-white flower pattern) suited her better.
The United States Olympic Committee has made changes to satisfy the International Olympic Committee, bolstering a chance to host the 2024 Summer Games.Tucked into this story is chatter about the next US cities that are trying to host the games. Guys! It’s only 11 years away!!!
Can’t believe I missed this article from last Friday! I liked the many ways the people interviewed avoided saying, “It’s all a popularity contest”:
“It takes time to know who the players are, and have a coffee or a drink and chew the fat and build a personal relationship,” said Richard Pound, a former vice president for the I.O.C.
and
“It’s a relationship business, and it takes a long time,” Blackmun said. “I don’t think we as the United States had made relationships a priority in this movement.”
and
“I didn’t understand why we had to be at war all the time,” Blackmun said. “To me, you can disagree without disrespecting. And what seemed to me has been happening was communications was based on disrespect rather than respect.”
And if you need a refresher on the US cities bidding for 2024:
Cities that have asked to be considered include Los Angeles; Dallas; Seattle; San Diego; Charlotte, N.C.; and Tulsa, Okla.
Chicago has said it will not pursue a bid, and New York’s prospects probably depend on the outcome of November’s mayoral election.
…
The goal for U.S.O.C. officials this year is to eliminate the cities that do not have the infrastructure or budget to handle hosting an Olympics. They hope to narrow the list to two or three cities next year. Olympic cities are selected by the I.O.C. seven years before they host the Games.
Everybody looks better on a boat. Bonus points for the suspenders, too.

FIXED HIM.
I am sincerely bummed they didn’t attempt to make a blue-haired bearded dude into a hottie. I think they could have done it!
