Perhaps I was just really tired when I read this this morning, but I read it as “Lawmakers trip, hit tourist hotspots.” — which of course, has a decidedly different meaning. Though bizarre, the connotation fills me with joy.

Though tumblr has more than it’s share of hipsters (see thundrrr and hrrrthrrr ), look at this fucking hipster is an entire tumblog devoted to pictures of hipsters.

Steven Tartick’s photo montage of the graffiti (and counter-graffiti) in an SVA bathroom reminds me much of the long dialogues strewn about the halls at my alma mater.

First there is the well designed and printed decals quoting statistics meant to insight thoughtfulness about inequities in IT and graphic design. Then there are the comments scrawled on and around the decals critiquing the statements.

I find both rather poignant at times though some of the handwritten comments are rather low blows.

I remember hearing that in my school’s library there was an entire series of articles published in a newsletter format, regularly inscribed on the bathroom walls of the womens’ restroom. I wonder if they still exist.

Update
Apparently this is part of the larger gag running throughout Google today. CADIE is the panda’s name and here are her favorite places in google maps. She even has a blogger page (warning: obnoxious music will start playing)

This is too priceless. Just oodles of lulz.

I like these semi-scientific analysises of our human faults Cracked comes up with: 5 Ways ‘Common Sense’ Lies To You Everyday.

“For instance, procrastination can happen for a lot of reasons–you drank too much the night before, or you’re feeling uninspired, or it’s your first time doing gay porn and you’re having second thoughts–but one of the most common reasons we procrastinate is fear that the end result won’t live up to the “perfect” idea in our heads. Think about the writer friend of yours who has never actually written anything, because they’re “waiting for the right idea” for a book to come along.
This is why people wind up living in their parents’ basement–waiting for the perfect job, the perfect girl, the perfect friendship–before committing to anything.”
