Hello,

This is (representative’s name) from Etsy’s Marketplace Integrity Team. Thank you for your interest in selling on Etsy.

Unfortunately, some of the…

Etsy: home to rampant copyright infringement, but not handmade electronics. What?

John Oliver talks to gun lobbyist Philip ‘Gun Control Doesn’t Work’ Van Cleave. This was an incredible segment. His logic is shot to Hell.

I laughed myself silly watching this last night. Beware some crazy racism against… Australians?!

So happy John Oliver is filling in for Jon Stewart this summer. Give this man his own show!

Cascadian Black Ale: ready to drink in two weeks time. Didn’t get the ABV I was hoping for, but the small sample tasted great, so I’m not super concerned about that. What should I make next? #homebrew #blackale #ale #beer #kigginsbrewingconcern

I am a street photographer in New York City. Several months ago, I was approached by a representative of DKNY who asked to purchase 300 of my photos to hang in their store windows “around the world.” They offered me $15,000. A friend in the industry told me that $50 per photo was not nearly enough to receive from a company with hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue. So I asked for more money. They said “no.”Today, a fan sent me a photo from a DKNY store in Bangkok. The window is full of my photos. These photos were used without my knowledge, and without compensation.I don’t want any money. But please REBLOG this post if you think that DKNY should donate $100,000 on my behalf to the YMCA in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. That donation would sure help a lot of deserving kids go to summer camp. I’ll let you guys know if it happens.

Manhattan on the rocks. Er, rock. Alberta Premium Dark Horse Rye, Martini Rosso, two dashes each of Fee Brothers Old Fashioned and Orange bitters. Delicious.

Haul from Fee Brothers yesterday. I should have bought more. Who wants a cocktail? @btparsons

It’s a hot toddy kind of night. Honey to coat the bottom of the cup, juice of 1/4 lemon, two dashes of Fee Brothers Old Fashioned bitters, an ounce of Alberta Premium Dark Horse Rye, and finished with Murchie’s No. 10 Blend tea.

Exhibit A: Jonathan Coulton’s cover of “Baby Got Back,” released 8/14/2005.

Exhibit B: Glee’s cover of “Baby Got Back,” due to air on 1/24/2013

There’s (understandably) a lot of anger on the internet about this, and it’s clear that if this is an actual recording…

They’ve been doing this since the start. Ever since they ripped on Petra Haden’s arrangement of Don’t Stop Believin’. This is far more flagrant.
