nErD aLeRt!
nymag's justin davidson offers an update on the governor's island re-design:
With $260 million of the city’s money, workers are shoring up seawalls, running pipes and cable, reroofing historic buildings, and, most dramatically, shaping a new landscape. While bureaucrats wrangled and budgets festered, the Dutch architect Adriaan Geuze and his firm West 8 spent years observing the summertime crowds and their habits of leisure. They have plowed that knowledge into a design that’s ambitious and spectacular, but also freewheeling and improvisational. (via)do yourself a favor and try learning something for once in your life.

anderson cooper admits to being faggoty
this is what he said:
Recently, however, I’ve begun to consider whether the unintended outcomes of maintaining my privacy outweigh personal and professional principle. It’s become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something - something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid. This is distressing because it is simply not true.
I’ve also been reminded recently that while as a society we are moving toward greater inclusion and equality for all people, the tide of history only advances when people make themselves fully visible. There continue to be far too many incidences of bullying of young people, as well as discrimination and violence against people of all ages, based on their sexual orientation, and I believe there is value in making clear where I stand.
The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.
Can you believe that queen? via.

as you probably already know...
...the Supreme Court has upheld the Affordable Care Act insurance mandate, as well as nearly all of the law's other 92 provisions. The liberal wing of the court ruled that the law was constitutional under the Commerce Clause, while the conservative wing of the court ruled the law unconstitutional. Justice John Robert's was the swing vote on this ruling, deciding that the legislation was constitutional, but not under the Commerce Clause, but rather as part of the right of Congress to create and raise taxes.
The Atlantic has an interesting article about how John Robert's might be the sneakiest of the sneakiest by ruling in such a way as to deny Obama a rallying cry to his base, giving Romney a rallying cry for his base, and casting the already unpopular ACA as a dirty, dirty tax.
