Weight Watcher here. I lost a stubborn 25 lbs of post-40 creep over 6 months this year, completely from having the app tell me I was eating too much crap. It’s been great. I wasn’t that overweight, I’m more active than average, and I basically know what I should be doing. But that kick in the ass and eye-opening …

Does anyone else miss Tweet Beat and Midweek Madness?

I have thought hypothetically about celebrities that would really hurt if it came up they had assaulted or harassed anyone. I narrowed it down to two since I have low expectations of the world -Jacques Pepin and Shirley Manson. That is all I am asking for.

Could it be that the bar is actually set at “unapologetic bigoted child molester banned from the mall”? Have we really, truly, found it?

I really miss gawker. It was nice to have a main page where everyone gathered. I was wondering if Jez would have a story on healthcare and what’s going on in St Louis.

He’s a great argument for a higher capital gains tax

aw, RIP Jonathan Brandis :(
