Behind-the-scenes detail: “fugly scruff” was coined by yours truly.

While I may not be fond of the facial hair, I couldn’t be prouder of my beau’s social good endeavor. Please support these organizations. Every little bit helps!

nicbarajas:

This is my beard.

Not many people like it. There have been a few positive words, but most folks are detractors. My girlfriend doesn’t like it, nor does my mother. (At least it’s better than the last time I grew out facial hair, when people started a Facebook group that begged me to shave. I’m serious.) And it’s been called names. Mostly bad ones.

I think “fugly scruff” stung the worst.

I’ve been growing it to try to raise a little awareness – like sween – for cancer. But it’s not a “mo,” as they say, so I don’t have a page there.

And there are a lot of places that could also use your money.

Anyway, it’ll be gone on Saturday – maybe not before some indigestion – so it’s pretty much now or never to “pimp” my “social presences,” as they say.

I’ve always been a fan of the American Cancer Society, thanks to Mike Monteiro, so please help out.

Personally, I’m donating $10 for every day this thing has been on my face, but any amount you can give would be nice.

“I’m convinced that our election system is on its last legs, drowning in corporate money and propaganda, staggering into thuggery and fascism. But none of that presents a reason not to vote. In fact, failing to vote aggravates all such problems.”

So sweet!

mashable:

When Drake Martinet proposed to Stacy Green, Mashable’s vice president of marketing and communications, he didn’t realize what a statistical improbability it was that he had found his soulmate until running the numbers. Emmanuel Colombo was so inspired by the proposal that he animated it and posted it to Vimeo. If you’ve been lucky enough to find your soulmate, share it with them.

Dueling Data: An Unbiased Look At the Unemployment Rate Under Each President

Dueling Data: An Unbiased Look At the Unemployment Rate Under Each President:

Fascinating info in Tableau chart form.

duelingdata:

With the exception of Obama (who has seen a 0.1% point rise in unemployment since he took office), every single democrat since the end of WWII has seen a decline in the unemployment rate over the life of their term. On the flip side, every Republican except Ronald Reagan saw at least a 2% point…

“Oh my God this couch. Oh my God. It’s toasty in here. Toasty. I’m sinking into this down pillow. What is this material? It’s so soft. I wanted to watch TV but I think just sitting here is okay. Oh geez I just might fall asleep. It’s sooooooo comfortable. Fo shizzle. Whose house is this anyway? I hope they don’t mind their couch might smell like fish now. But oh my GOD this fucking couch. I think I’ll get some shuteye, God DAMN.”
