From Seth in Delaware County, NY:
after admiring and being inspired by both your sites (Beaver Brook and Cabin Porn) for many months I am finally at a point where I can share some of the progress on my own cabin. the blog shows the progress of construction from clearing the site to our current state. this is my first project and I tried to include as many details as possible so I could help out other ppl looking to build something like this for the first time.

Just in time for the Season 5 premier of Breaking Bad, here is Hank Schrader himself (Dean Norris) as one of Miles’ clients on the Season 5 episode of Lost, “Some Like it Hoth.”
Don’t forget to watch season 5 of Breaking Bad on July 15 at 10pm on AMC (or online for you Dish customers)!
Great find, Hal!

The Martin Freeman interview with racist and homophobic comments is here. (Mod note: I added highlights below)
“When I moved up here this woman I know said, ‘Ooh! There are a lot of whiteys up there’, and I said, ‘I love white people; I’ve no problem with them at all.”
The idea was that I was going to complain because there weren’t enough blues dances out here; not enough ragga around. But I’m not bothered by it.
“Multiculturalism hasn’t and doesn’t help, because rightly or wrongly it polarises people so much,” he continues.
“Racism is one thing ? and I don’t agree with that in any form ? but noticing that there are differences is normal and fine and to be encouraged.
“We’ve reached a state now where it’s, ‘You shouldn’t notice. Why are you noticing he’s got a bomb and has a beard and is Muslim and wants to kill your family?”
“There is no country in the world like this. If all of a sudden all the traffic wardens in Ghana were Welsh, they’d really notice and might not love it? We give ourselves a hard time in this country in a sort of mea culpa way. But if we were that racist, people wouldn’t come. Very simple.”
(Later in the article)
He hasn’t always been a mod purist. “I did have a hip-hop period,” he admits. “I dressed a bit like that in 1990, but after a while I thought, ‘Nah, back to the white Levi’s.’
“I really liked hip-hop until the gangsta rap took over. I come from a time when not every rap record was ‘nigga’ this and ‘nigga’ that; an earlier socially and morally conscious hip-hop sensibility, when it was, ‘Don’t call people nigga’.”
“But now it’s nigga, nigga, nigga, and it’s not funny or interesting politically, artistically or socially. I really don’t like it.”
At this point the conversation switches to the youth of today.
(Later still)
“Talking of which… ‘The funny thing about the acting business is that there are more poofs in it than you can have hot dinners thrown at you,’” he says.
“But no one is out. It’s not so bad here, but in Hollywood ? Jesus Christ. Why don’t they just admit it? No one cares if they’re gay or not. I certainly don’t.
In this so-called liberal industry, no one has the guts to come out because of “the box office”, but someone has to be the first in the firing line.
“Without the suffragettes a lot of women would have thought, ‘Why should we have the vote?’ And I think that the same argument exists today. People should stand up and be counted.”
People were praising his comments about how closeted gay actors should come out (because allegedly it shows how accepting he is?) but as a straight man he really should not be 1. using homophobic slurs or 2. trying to dictate how and when LGBT people come out.People also tried to claim that because it’s the Daily Mail it must be out of context, but there is no other context for statements like “We’ve reached a state now where it’s, ‘You shouldn’t notice. Why are you noticing he’s got a bomb and has a beard and is Muslim and wants to kill your family?’”
Mod note: That wasn’t Pulitzer Prize-winning journalism/writing by any means, but REGARDLESS, what a fucking mess. Seriously, wtf?
Anna Gunn plays Skyler White, one of the best female characters on television right now (and if you call her a bitch then I will have words with you because she’s fantastic), on AMC’s Breaking Bad, but once upon a time she was Madeline, one of the many women with whom Nate had affairs on Six Feet Under.

“New Portrait of our Planet”
While rifling through our basement, I found this vintage world map! My grandpa ordered it from LIFE in 1960. Definitely want to frame & hang it someday.

Submitting it twice just in case. My opinion is still the same. I am not racist. I just don’t like seeing it. I think white men are too good for black women because I just find most black women to be unattractive with bad attitudes.
Another one.
Are you fucking kidding.
What if we took the people who put shit like this on Tumblr, put them in a line, and shot them all?

Dear HBO,
I would love if you could use your official Game of Thrones tumblr for news, photos, videos, and behind-the-scenes stuff rather than terrible fan art.
Sincerely,
oh-whiskers
