noam blows my mind sometimes!
Noam: I think I've seen a mitochondria tattoo, and it's not pretty
Me: It's weird that you want to get a tattoo that's a magnified version of something that's inside of you
Noam: Really it's a representation of an idea, not a visual representation of reality
Me: But you know what I mean
Noam: I do. But getting a tattoo of a star is getting a tattoo of what you look like from far away

an internet acronym i'm trying to make happen
TFL (tabbed for later), which you say when someone sends you a link to something and you don’t have time to look at it right then, but you’re opening it in another tab (or have already come across it and opened it in a tab) with the intent of checking it out when you can. There is an element of the social contract to TFL: it implies a promise to discuss the link in question once...

noelduan:
This is the time of year when even people who hate the gym think about going to the gym. Many of us are still digesting whole floors of gingerbread houses, and jeans that fit comfortably in October are now a denim humiliation.
Sweating is a good way to begin 2012. Exercise, like dark chocolate and office meetings that suddenly get canceled, is a proven pathway to nirvana. But if...
I think I’m gonna remember the phrase “poetry bestseller list” for the next time a child asks me to explain what an oxymoron is. Just feels classier than “jumbo shrimp.”

I think I am a pretty tough critic of contemporary personal essays; normally I finish them and can only think, “This didn’t need to be written.” But Dan’s did. It’s my favorite Observer piece in ages.

I think Friends is a better show than Community.
Definitely gonna start a publication called The New York Review of Hooks; just need to figure out whether it should be about rap or fishing.

tylercoates:
Well, physically, I’m in Daniel’s bed, and he has flannel sheets and I do not want to leave this bed. Emotionally: well… You know when you have those dreams in which you wake up early and complete all of the things you are supposed to do that day, and then you wake up for real and are SO MAD…
Last week I had a dream I had laser eye surgery, and have never been more...
If they ever decide to stop making soft, plain gray t-shirts and soft, plain gray t-shirts become a super hot underground commodity, I will be like an instant billionaire.
a note to comedy writers
Comedy writers who are writing female characters, please stop making jokes about ladies wearing multiple pairs of Spanx. Variations on this joke always ring false, because ladies know that Spanx are like condoms: doubling up doesn’t make them more effective.
(Also because you can’t get pregnant when you’re wearing them!)

GADZINSKI: So, what do you think about more on a daily basis, basset hounds or the Countess Luann? KLAUSNER: Oh, my God. I think about the Countess Luann at least five times a day. I think of basset hounds whenever I turn on my computer, because I have photos of them. And if I’m lucky and I…
