Do you like Groupon? LivingSocial? DailyCandy? Gilt? You like getting more bang for your buck, and getting creative new ideas for how to spend your money?
Philanthroper’s like that, except instead of giving you coupons for restaurants and jewelry stores, it highlights a different nonprofit or charitable cause.
If you like the cause, you give a dollar. Why a dollar? Because it...
What happened to CNN? →
In 1991, I sat glued to the television watching Bernie Shaw and Peter Arnett broadcast from a hotel room in Baghdad while the city was being bombed. At that moment, I thought CNN was the most incredible thing that had happened in my entire life. Time magazine went on to name Ted Turner Person of the Year, in no small part because of that broadcast.
This weekend, I am traveling. Cairo is...

Yes, as Ipo says Don’t do coke.
Because every single wanker you know naturally gravitates towards cocaine and one day someone will offer you a line and then stick their tongue down your throat even though they’re dating your then best friend. (I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT [REDACTED.])
Or blow all their money on coke and borrow funds from their girlfriend who makes less than they...

This piece covers Atlanta as well and it talks about how racial politics in the 1970’s helped shape MARTA’s design and how that’s hampered Atlanta’s growth. They spend some time talking about Clayton County opting out of joining MARTA with their transit system only to end up having to get rid of their program, leaving riders stranded.
This is a great article...

“I whispered in her ear, as I inclined the willing girl backwards on the soft pillow of sand, and reversing my position, we laid at full length, side by side, both of us eager as possible for the game; my head was buried between her loving thighs, with which she pressed me most amorously, as my tongue was inserted in her loving slit; this was a fine gamahuche.” Mm-mmm.

Decisions, decisions (or, maybe I should've slept...
Went to bed a bit after 3am, somehow woke up a little after 8am and couldn’t get back to sleep like I normally do many a Saturday.
Throw in about 9 miles of walking (with a tiny bit of running) around Midtown today and I’m feeling pooped at 6:20 pm on a Saturday. So the beer fest is out (and lucky me, there’s another Beer Fest Carnival coming up in less than a month).
So...

Things not to do in yoga class...
Say your ankle’s a bit tender and you’re nervous about single-leg balance poses.
What you don’t want to do when it’s time for those poses is let your inner monologue turn into nothing but Steve Holt(“STEVE HOLT!”)-delivered workout slogans.

Call your Congress people and urge them to publicly support the Egyptians’ right to self-determination and free expression.
Egypt is an important U.S. ally—and we do a lot to help Mubarak stay in power. Making it costly for the U.S. to back up the Egyptian regime’s crack down could do something to unsettle Mubarak’s grip on power—or at least increase the cost of ordering...
