joyengel asked: What's your take on the Olivia Munn/Daily Show/Lady blogging-gate? (Also: welcome back to tumblr!)
Thanks! I figured it was time for my monthly Tumblr post.
As for the Jezebel/ladyblog/Daily Show kerfuffle: I honestly haven’t been following it that closely. I’ve really only read a few posts that old Jezebel people have linked to on Twitter. It just seems weird to me that a post that was about women in comedy turned into a blog war about who is a Real Feminist and who is a Real Journalist and blah blah blah. Well, that doesn’t seem weird to me since stretching outrage to the point where the original source of outrage is completely forgotten is what makes the internet such a wonderful/horrible place.

And now I present to you a photo of a male fan braiding Olivia Munn’s hair at a book signing for her new book, Suck It, Wonder Woman.

"So I wrote what I know, or rather what I’ve learned, which could be summed up this way: when the Internet forced journalism to compete economically after years of monopoly, journalism panicked and adopted some of the worst examples of the nothing-based economy, in which success depends on the continued infantilization of both supply and demand. At the same time, journalism clung to its myths of objectivity and detachment, using them to dismiss the emerging blogger threat as something unserious and fundamentally parasitic, even as it produced a steady stream of obsessive but sneering trend stories on the blogosphere."
— If you haven’t read Moe/Maureen Tkacik’s wonderful “Look at Me!” piece in the Columbia Journalism Review, I strongly suggest that you take 20 minutes out of your day and read the whole thing.

Definitely the best sketch of the night. “Hey where’d those pores go?”

Foursquare has only one true use: giving you something to do while you wait for your friends to arrive at a bar.

Oh hey friends!
Did I mention that I got a new job? I am now the AM News Editor at Celebuzz, so come over and hang out with me over there! Also: I am probably going to be MIA from Tumblr for awhile. Blogging is hard.
