park avenue you-know-what dumpsters.
y'all wish you could be as awesome as brooklyn.
For those New Yorkers who never received a coveted invitation last summer to dive into Dumpsters converted into pools in Brooklyn, there is a much easier alternative this year: Park Avenue.
For the first three Saturdays in August, the Bloomberg administration will open three Dumpster pools on the east side of Park Avenue between 40th and 41st Streets.
With Grand Central Terminal and the MetLife Building serving as a backdrop, the pools will be above ground, encircled by a five-foot-wide metal deck with a nonstick rubber surface, and accompanied by several changing-room cabanas, portable showers and portable toilets. (via)

new mascot for Ole Miss

you know that the university of mississippi (the harvard of the south) finally decided that their mascot was a little racist, and that they should pick a new one. they are still going to be the rebels, but arent going to have a cartoon plantation owner (slave beater) running around on the football field. they narrowed it down to five choices:
a) horse
b) land shark
c) hotty and toddy
d) lion
e) bear
what do you think? i think you know what i think.
Argentina figured it out...

a new place to get gay married. thanks for being normal argentina.
Sen. Norma Morandini, another member of the president's party, compared the discrimination that gays face to the oppression imposed by Argentina's dictators decades ago. 'What defines us is our humanity, and what runs against humanity is intolerance,' she said."

congrats, america!
the senate finally passed that pesky financial reform bill they been workin' on!
dnd.
The bill would create a council of high-level federal officials, led by the Treasury secretary, to try to detect, and perhaps prevent, systemic dangers to the financial system, and it would give the government new authority to seize and shut down failing financial institutions, by liquidating assets and forcing shareholders and creditors to take losses.
It would create a powerful consumer financial protection bureau, to be housed in the Federal Reserve, and widely expand the regulatory authority of the central bank. It would widen the purview of the Securities and Exchange Commission to strengthen regulation of hedge funds, other private equity firms, and credit rating agencies. (via)
