As though you didn't love Amy Poehler, Hollywood's Student Council President, enough already:

This morning, Philadelphia Inquirer editor Bill Marimow was abruptly fired. The paper's publisher cited "philosophical differences" to explain the move. Also today, Philly.com ran a story about a book tying former Pennsylvania governor and current Inquirer owner-pal Ed Rendell to organized crime. Coincidence?

In the year which we now represent as a grayish blue leaf shape meaning combination of hunger and embarrassment (stylized in the Western calendar as "2 0 0 6"), a tool was bestowed upon the people of Earth that would allow them to receive the one True and Perfect Holy Book, line by line, one transmission at a time. That tool was called "twɪt-UR." That book was called "The Book of Jaden."

Roger Ailes’ cable news operation went live on October 7, 1996. 17 years and several wars later, Fox News remains as lively and accurate as ever. To celebrate, the channel bought a bunch of enormous Microsoft touch-screen computers.

Barely competent pop star and less competent human being Chris Brown is the subject of a doozy of a Guardian profile (it's the one in which he brags about having lost his virginity at age 8). God, this guy is such a fucking asshole.

CNN reports on China's deadly hornet outbreak on Friday by explaining that Hong Kong is now in South America. Those hornets really are powerful.

If your tech company doesn't have any women on its board—and almost no female executives at all—it's probably not a good idea to call one of your critics "Carrot Top" and get huffily defensive on Twitter.

In 2007, two corporate law firms merged to form Dewey & LeBoeuf, a massive global legal conglomerate that grandly collapsed in the wake of the recession. Would you believe it all started when one partner called his colleagues "fuckwad" and "little prick?"

It's well established that when people are mad, they tend to say things they'll later regret.

Today Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the former Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel and controversial orthodox Jewish activist, died at the age of 93 in Jerusalem. As one of Israel’s most prominent religious figures, Yosef frequently ran into trouble for his avid racism. He once claimed, for example, that Hurricane Katrina was black people’s divine punishment for not studying the Torah. That didn’t stop Bill de Blasio, currently the front-runner in New York City’s mayoral race, from praising his legacy.

Banksy's latest Brooklyn piece can be found in Red Hook.

Thought you were safe earning extra cash (five grand a month?!) by renting your New York apartment rental out on Airbnb? Not if the state Attorney General has anything to say about it.

Wildly successful proverb investigator Malcolm Gladwell is a writer for The New Yorker, the most prestigious magazine journalism outlet in America. Despite this fact, he says that—as a policy—he does not do journalism.

Before he became the huge, jacked up star of stage and screen you know today, Hugh Jackman was a lowly gym teacher trying to get young boys at England's Uppingham School to climb that damn rope and quit flicking their towels at each other in the locker room.

Edward Snowden, living in Russia, must eat. Here he is grocery shopping like a normal person. Strange, since his lawyer had told Fox News that he walks around in disguise, but it seems like he could actually wearing the very same blue shirt he appeared in in that youTube video. Not much of a disguise, unless it's an Edward Snowden costume.

On Sunday, at least 51 people were killed and more than 260 were injured in Egypt during clashes between protesters supportive of ousted Islamist President Morsi and backers of the Egyptian military. The protests, the deadliest since hundreds were killed on August 14, took place on an Egyptian national holiday honoring the 40^th anniversary of the Arab-Israeli War.

Oil wells and sheet-metal buildings are hideous things, but America the Beautiful resumes as soon as you get past the last grim RV park and last signs of our shoddy civilization. The easiest way to refresh the soul is to look on the map for a big chunk of green: a national park or preserve or forest, or in the case of the Bakken, the Little Missouri National Grassland.

Getting lotto tickets in lieu of a tip is nothing like the movies — unless you take home the jackpot, that is.

In an interview this past weekend, New York Times editor Jill Abramson decried THE POLITICO-style coverage of politics, in which "the political maneuvering becomes the dominant thread and what is lost is what effect it actually has on people." In a story yesterday about the US commando raids in Libya, her own paper did just that. (Then made it disappear.)

Prince Harry feels shy and uncomfortable as a baby attempts to socialize with him in Australia.
