In case, you know, you haven’t been outside in the past three month, it’s about to become official: unless a freak blizzard blankets the country by Thursday, the spring of 2012 will go down as the warmest for the U.S. in 117 years of record-keeping. The National Climatic Data Center won’t release a report on the temperatures in May until sometime in June, but based on their assessment of March and April, University of Maryland professor Steve Scolnik, who blogs at Climate Capital, says that our warm May will smash the 102-year-old record.
We just received the following submission: “Despite his book, which we are all tired of him promoting, The Moth host Dan Kennedy can rock the black frames and clothing.”
[Ed. note: You mean Rock On: An Office Power Ballad? We haven’t read it but we framed the back jacket and put it on our wall of babes. HOT!]
I’ve been having this recurring dream where I work in a secret society of dog boarders, and the only way people recognize me as part of the cartel is by the outlandish, colorful socks I wear.
"Now is the moment. And if people tell themselves that this is over because of this story, because of what I did, they’re forgetting that this would not exist in the way it does, if this story had not gotten out. If it had not gotten out, we would not have set the emotional landscape that allowed the New York Times piece to land. You know that’s true. That doesn’t excuse me in the least, but it does me that there’s a responsibility on all of us, if we are journalists, to pursue the story, if we are not journalists, to read, and discuss, and talk about the issues. It’s so important. It is so much larger than me, or the show, or anything I have ever done."
"For three years, Maris Kreizman has ran the one stop Tumblr for folks who are equally nerdy about books as they are television. To celebrate, she’s invited a stellar group of people who will probably discuss those two topics while guests sip free drinks sponsored by Tumblr."
