Perez Hilton reconsidered

Pop culture authority Mark Graham uses the above photo to illustrate his view that Perez Hilton has become lazy…

If you’re like most everyone else, what makes you want to shake a baby is poverty. But while child abuse doctors-so-called “experts”-are claiming that child abuse is very much on the rise because of the recession, they don’t know that. What else changed in the…

There are excerpts out from Dave Cullen’s Columbine, which is supposed to be terrific-and which corrects a number of garbled facts about what took place during everyone’s favorite school murder rampage.

Gawker Media Overlord Nick Denton [see, context!] reminisces about his early days in New York:
