  Outside The Beltway | OTB — Authority: 653
  I’m getting the distinct sense that Slate’ s Double X spin-off is some sort of elaborate spoof rather than a smart, female-centric magazine.  Yesterday, via Julian Sanchez , I came across their insipid advice column saying it pushed the “limits of friendship” to expect one’s friends to not leave you ...

  pampelmoose Dave Allen of Gang of Four's Music and Media Blog — Authority: 422
  I am so happy that Pomplamoose exists. Beyond validating my mangling of the French word for grapefruit, Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn have what I suspect is a more bastardized version than mine and a great cover of Single Ladies by Beyoncé in which they can’t be bothered to sing the bridge because the lyrics [...]
