We just sold this tumblr to AOL!
For stock, but hey, it’s Lehmann Brothers stock, so how can we lose!
We had some great times on this site but, now the corporate suits call the shots.
We got huge money for this thing- it’s a great deal, now we can use this cash to attempt to buy the “Game of Thrones” franchise, make the show 2 hours long and come on every day for ever.
Now that’s what I call a lede.

US Daily Highest Max Temperature Records set in June 2012
According to the National Climactic Data Center, the United States saw 2,284 record breaking temperatures in June. Another 998 temperatures tied daily records.
Via io9:
The National Climatic Data Center contains the world’s largest active archive of weather data, and has a handy interactive map that lets you see the record highs, lows, precipitation, and snowfall for various parts of the United States. In playing around with this application, NPR noted that so far this year has been heavier on the record highs than last year; 2012 so far has seen 23,283 record highs set while by this time in 2011, 13,582 records had been set. Head over the NPR for more weather record insights.
All of which makes this guy’s forecast particularly insightful.
Bonus: the National Climatic Data Center offers its data up in tab-delimited and XML formats.
Image: The NCDC maps record breaking temperatures across the country (edit: detail, of course, sorry Alaska and Hawaii).
Great stuff, esp. if you’re into data.

It’s an unfortunate confluence of instances when u get to little Tokyo small plates and the elephants doing karaoke lack even a basic self awareness to how loud, bad at singing and unsightly a herd of elephants they were. Their shirts could have been fashioned to two man tents, they waddled to the food troph, fat, pocked arms of the given up, a body built by Cheetos, sugary snacks and a victim complex, but tonight, u sing! And how shitty you sing! Songs of being wronged by men, whom u promptly suffocated w ur back fat. Ur so fat u can’t bend over.
