Weekend link dump for March 17

Are we feeling a little green today?

RIP, What Not To Wear. I hope by now we all have it figured out.

Latinos love movies, and Hollywood has noticed.

Need some good female role models from the world of fiction for your budding scientist? Now you have them.

Personally, I’d like to see him pay off this debt by performing manual labor at minimum wage rates.

“Let me phrase that a different way: If the stock market rises as much between now and 2017 as it did coming off the bottom of the worst, most catastrophic crisis in modern history, then we would then only be 16 percent below the value that Glassman thought was justified for the market way back in 1999!”

It’s hard out here on a pundit.

”For the record, The 5 Point is the first Seattle business to ban in advance Google Glasses. And ass kickings will be encouraged for violators.”

The Number 42 All Star Team.

Two words: Monster mosquitoes. Please, please, don’t let them migrate west.

Poor, poor John Boehner. Ironic that the more crazily conservative his caucus gets, the more he has to depend on Democrats to pass anything. Who said Dems don’t have discipline?

Are you in, Ashley? We’re all on pins and needles over here.

Some young adult novels with strong female characters, for those of you that might need to know this sort of thing.

“But Tri-Net did them one better. Theirs is a sort of meta-commentary on startup marketing on the whole, a tongue-in-cheek gesture on the stupidity of some single-serving companies that are appearing out of Silicon Valley these days — much less with millions of dollars in venture capital funding. By contrast, something difficult to market may prove more useful; it’s why the hottest topic in the Valley these days is indeed the enterprise (even if it is boring as hell).”

Just so you know, the Dixie Chicks were right all along.

How gullible can you get?

“Captain! Our reality distortion field is down!”

“Imagine Walter Mondale returning to Congress in 1985 and proposing a budget that undid President Reagan’s agenda and reduced deficits by raising taxes on the middle class—in other words, the exact same thing he’d proposed in his losing campaign for the presidency. That will give you some idea of what Ryan is proposing, although Mondale’s proposals didn’t require the same rhetorical and mathematical games to show budget savings.”

“Here’s what’s going on. The Secret Service is getting cut under the sequester. They took a look at the things they do and one of those things is they stand guard during White House tours so no one runs off and tries to attack the president. So rather than cutting one of the things they really need to do, they cut the White House tours. Seems pretty reasonable. The question is why Republicans in Congress and conservatives in the media have chosen this to get angry about.”

Please don’t take away my Google Reader! I’ll do anything!

Happy catblogging anniversary, Kevin.

“At a moment of extraordinary chaos in the television industry, and of new and emerging distribution models in both movies and television, this is the perfect moment for viewers with money to spend to assert ourselves.”

How’s that minority outreach going, CPAC?

Fifty years ago, a quasar was observed for the first time.

“You can commit all manner of policy sins. If you’re earnest and charming, you can even attack your opponents for ideas over which you share paternity. But do not—I repeat, do not—show up the political media. Hell hath no fury like my fellow hacks spurned.”

WTF, Samsung?
