I'm a law student interested in space flight; comics; retro and futurism specifically from the 30s, 60s, and 70s; and other nerdy pursuits.

So I apparently broke my bed.
And not in the good way.
The little legs that attach to the frame are all bent and the wood they attach to is all splintered. *sigh*

The new Tumblr “Crushes” jiggery-pokery, means mine have changed. The Top three are the same (in terms of order, and the same percentage between #1 & #2), but five of the nine aren’t even streams that I follow. Nothing against ‘em of course - I’ve obviously liked, or reblogged something they’ve posted, but I only wanna see peeps I’m following.
You know, if Ms. Forrest keeps being people’s #1 it may give the impression that instead of being an antisocial, bookwormy, comic-reading, Dungeons and Dragons playing, Who-loving nerd like the rest of us that Ms. Forrest is actually one of the dreaded popular cool kids.
But yeah, I had similar problems as you obviously (although my top three were all weird with fuckyeahkarengillan in third place of all things. That’s changed in the last ten minutes for some reason). You can “block” people from showing up but it definitely supports the idea that the entire thing is fundamentally screwy compared to the traditional tumblr crush system.

I need to keep better track of which tabs I’ve used.

So here's the season finale of Penny Arcade TV
I swear I didn’t tear up at the end. I swear.

“Crush” enhancements!
We’ve fixed a few issues that were making “Tumblr crushes” less fun than they should be:
1)
Once you’ve liked a few hundred posts, your Crushes rarely change.Now they’re pulled from your recent activity, so you can see where your love is going right this second.
2)
Crushes only count Likes, and don’t factor in Reblogs.Now they include both!
3)
The total counts don’t give context to all the other blogs you follow.The counts now show the percentage of your attention that you’re giving your crushes. (Out of everyone you Like and Reblog!)
4)
Calculating crushes kills our databases.Crushes now run on an asynchronous queue that refreshes every 12 hours.
I’m less than pleased. You shouldn’t be able to have a tumblr crush on someone you don’t follow. Or a person you have no idea who they are at all or remember what posts of theirs you could have possibly liked.
Also, it’s completely destroyed my “let’s see how long it takes fuckyeahkarengillan to pass maybeandroid” game. Maybeandroid’s still winning of course, because she likes to spite me like that. By being awesome.

Dear politicians: More of this, please. Stand up for what you believe in. Vote with your heart, vote for what’s right, represent your people. Be impassioned and compassionate and fired up. I love it. The more I see and hear and read about Anthony Weiner, the more I dig his vibe.
Also, watch John Stewart interview Anthony Weiner on The Daily Show. Great stuff.
Just watch this.
Women of New York, if you see Rep. Anthony Weiner walking down the street, do the right thing and offer that man a friendly blowjob. (via)
On my way to Kew Gardens with kneepads.
Anthony Weiner and Jon Stewart were roommates after College. He’s also the only candidate that Jon Stewart has ever donated money to. How could he not be awesome?
