Mitt Romney’s campaign just released an app that can add a filter to your photos, and the filter says “A BETTER AMERCIA,” which is of course a spelling error. So this new Tumblr has been poking fun at it, and it is glorious.

“[A] bunch of lying scum.”
– That’s how Roger Ailes, Fox News chairman, described New York Times reporters in a speech at Ohio University Monday night. A senior Fox News executive says he regrets using that language.  (via cheatsheet)

shortformblog: On the comedy side, the network that brought us Twitter-based $#*! My Dad Says and Twitter-based actor Ashton Kutcher is once again showing its affinity for new media. CBS has greenlit Friend Me. Here’s the (rather extensive) logline: “Twentysomething best friends, Evan and Rob, move from their hometown of Bloomington, Ind., to Los Angeles to begin their exciting new lives...

HEY, DID I MISS ANYTHING?
danharmon: Kids:  A few hours ago, I landed in Los Angeles, turned on my phone, and confirmed what you already know.  Sony Pictures Television is replacing me as showrunner on Community, with two seasoned fellows that I’m sure are quite nice - actually, I have it on good authority they’re quite nice, because they once created a show and cast my good friend Jeff Davis on it, so how bad can they...

BBC News - Playing music to escape Mexico murders →
Esteban Ruiseco is exactly the type of teenager Mexico’s ruthless drug cartels prey upon. The 15-year-old comes from a broken home and has dropped out of school twice. He also comes from Ciudad Juarez, which at the peak of the Mexican government’s war on drugs became infamous as the most violent city in the world. In 2010, more than 3,000 people were murdered in Juarez. The murder...

Pink Martini and Storm Large!
On Thursday night my family went to Playhouse Square in Cleveland to see a performance by Pink Martini and Storm Large. It was the best decision we’ve ever made. Pink Martini is an Oregon-based jazz/Latin ensemble fronted by a fantastic pianist named Thomas Lauderdale. The group’s lead vocalist, China Forbes, is currently on the mend from vocal cord surgery, and so the tour is instead...

WHEN I FIND OUT A WRITER ISN'T ON TWITTER
editorrealtalk: Best new Tumblr: “Editor Real Talk,” created by Ann Friedman, the executive editor of Good (which is an amazing magazine/website). Since I’ll be a copy editor this summer and a forum editor this autumn, I get the feeling I’ll be able to relate to a lot of these very soon. editorrealtalk.tumblr.com

Mali's Capital Bamako Falls to Political Crisis |... →
As I write, soldiers of the ruling junta, the “Green Berets” of the regular army, have put down a takeover attempt from Mali’s former presidential guard, the “Red Berets,” loyal to President Amadou Toumani Toure, the democratically elected leader who was deposed in a coup on March 22. Toure was weeks away from retirement and elections that would have replaced him.
