- Really quite beautiful x-ray photos of Christmas gifts (Faith is Torment via Flavorwire)
- Somebody wrote a whole book on the topic, but if you’re not interested in wading in quite that deep, here’s a brief pop-cultural history of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”—from its 80s origins as a masterwork by the High King of music nerd boys to its rebirth as Shrek soundrack-fodder, and beyond. (The Atlantic)
- This Peanuts gang/Bad Brains mashup is exactly the type of thing that makes me wish I still occasionally got high. (Death + Taxes)
- Nobody created a more amusing Gossip Girl recap—or one with a more passionate fan base—than Jessica Pressler and Chris Rovzar over at New York’s website. Rozvar bowed out some time ago for a new gig, but reunited—deeply amusingly—with Pressler for Monday’s big farewell. You might enjoy it even if you never watched the show, seeing as how you’re way past its demographic and all (cough). (Vulture)
- Dear lordy, has it really come to this? (Mother Jones)

Thanks for the ‘Hallelujah’ link. I was most familiar with the Rufus Wainwright version, but have been mildly fascinated by how so many different artists do so many different versions.
Why not still occasionally get high! (weed only of course)
I hope you catch the kudos for the old Lucky from the Fug Girls today. Still sorely missed.
The fug girls are the best.
the x-ray images come the british academy of radiology, i pinned it, they have a artist in residence program, who knew and good for the brits, i find this amazing as a concept for a medical school, D
