The audience let out a very audible groan, and Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) was caught on the C-SPAN camera doing the rimshot gesture.

Shit Dowager Countesses Say

The best of the best of these videos. 

Newly obsessed with Downton Abbey, Maggie Smith and this video. I am even willing to forgive the soapy soapness of season two so far.

As if I needed another reason to love Matt Damon.

Tweets from kids trying to use Wikipedia for their homework—and failing. SOPA!

UGHHHH. Children. The Internet is a vast place with information elsewhere!

Alexis Madrigal writes at The Atlantic:

… our cultural expectations of radio — funneled through different technological listening devices — are changing. It may be broadcast over traditional airwaves, but it’s webby. It feels interactive and interrogative rather than narrowly investigative. Abumrad and Krulwich aren’t coming from on high, but right there with the listener adventuring through the story. 

These guys, and their whole team, have changed the way I and others strive to tell science stories. The sky’s the limit, and I can’t wait to explore what’s coming.

I rarely work in an audio medium, but the storytelling methods used on Radiolab still influence the way I strive to tell stories. The conversational tone is impossible to fake, wonderful to listen to and makes the “learning” part of the program fade away.

The Minimalist Teaser Poster For ‘Mad Men’ Season 5

EW has posted a hi-res version of the fantastic minimalist promo poster for the fifth season of ‘Mad Men’, which has it’s two-hour premiere on March 25th. 

You have to wonder about what this poster means. Season 4’s teaser poster gave us a sleek, clean slate for Draper looking out into NYC’s skyline. So, what’s Season 5 mean? The fall of Draper? The fall of the ad man? The fall of men in suits? Is it an individual falling or cultural institutions? 

Whatever the case may be, I’m glad “Mad Men” is coming back. 

Or a reset? The poster seems like a callback to the first images we saw of Mad Men — the intro of ad men falling through vintage advertisements.

At the end of last season, everyone seemed to start over. Don’s engaged to Betty 2.0, the firm is starting from scratch, Betty’s moving to a new house, etc.

Hurry, hurry March 25.
