I DO THESE THINGS SO THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO LEARN CSS, PEOPLE!
Ugh, talk about something I did NOT need to read today.
Over 600,000 science and engineering degrees are granted annually from American universities.(1)
The US produces only 120,000 science and engineering jobs per year (much less lately; the number may now be negative).(2)
That leaves 480,000 graduates per year without jobs in their chosen careers. Add to this over 250,000 H-1B, L-1, and trade visas each year. Half a million Americans are losing their jobs to cheap foreign technical workers every year. Another half million Americans waste their S&E degrees on non-S&E jobs.
this is heartwarming
Oh, Femputer. The world is less awesome for the loss of you.The estate of the late, great Bea Arthur — aka Maude, aka Dorothy Petrillo Sbornak — has donated $300,000 to the Ali Forney Center. The nation’s largest organization dedicated to homeless GLBT youth, the center announced at Arthur’s memorial service last month that they planned to purchase a building to house 12 youths and name it her honor.
The Ali Forney Center offers emergency shelter and transitional housing in numerous residential sites in New York City, and operates drop-in centers offering food, clothing, medical and mental health treatment, HIV testing, treatment and prevention services, and vocational and educational assistance — providing services to over 1,000 young people each year.

Dear Ryan Murphy,
Please stop forcing Glee Club director Mr. Will Schuester, played by Broadway actor Matthew Morrison, into performing highly embarrassing rap and/or R&B numbers on national television.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
TNC apparently has the same trouble I do in explaining that just because you don’t have cable doesn’t mean you don’t watch television shows.

These are the albums that are being made into stamps in the UK. We will set aside Coldplay for the moment (although, to be fair, that’s totally their best album and I like a lot of songs on it despite myself) and just say that on the list of reasons why living in the UK would be cool, postal stamps with Screamadelica on them might place number two. Behind, you know, health care. via Idolator
Tonight is the “Things From the ’90s I Miss” night on my Tumblr, I guess. The fact that this whole issue of Vice is written as if it were 1994 has only increased the retroness of my evening. Point: I miss tiny tiny t-shirts and vintage bellbottom cords. I also miss being 14 so I could get away with wearing tiny tiny t-shirts and bellbottom cords. Instead, I’m almost 30 and I wear bootcut jeans from the Gap and nursing tanks. The end.
