i saw the video feed of this on my taxicab tv last night and i was all "huuuuuuhh????"

the voice report

it's the first week of "live playoffs". right now, every coach has 8 members. monday night, team adam and team blake all sang, and last night it was team gwen and team pharell. this is the first week america gets to vote (i did.), and tonight they announce 2 winners from each team. then each coach picks two more, leaving each team with 4. now you know everything.

so i'll tell you my favorite from each team, and tonight we'll see if i have what it takes to become america's next top voice-winner predictor.


team adam's best was...damien.


team blake's best was...james david.


team gwen's best was...anita!


and team pharell's best OF COURSE IT WAS ELYJUH OMG #TEAMELYJUH!!

honorable mentions to hat taylor and girl taylor.

watch this over and over until the sun comes back out

2pz fave Marlo Thomas is getting the nations highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom

The White House on Monday announced the names of 19 recipients getting the award, which is the nation’s highest civilian honor presented to “individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.”

The awards will be presented during a ceremony at the White House Nov. 24.

From a White House biography of Thomas: She’s “an award-winning actress, producer, best-selling author and social activist. Whether championing equality for girls and women, giving voice to the less fortunate, breaking barriers by portraying one of television’s first single working women on 'That Girl,' or teaching children to be 'Free to Be You and Me,' Thomas inspires us all to dream bigger and reach higher.”
