Jared Leto told Twitter that when he hits 1 million twitter followers, he would get a tattoo. Well he did. And he did. He got this giant tattoo on his back. I’m still not convinced this isn’t a joke. But here it is. The photo was posted on his Instagram account and E! Online picked up the story. When the hell did Twitter get this important? Read more…
Instagram is taking over weddings and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I was gleefully pinning my way through Pinterest, looking for things to add to my “WEDDING INSANITY BOARD” when I found the above posted photo.
My immediate reaction was, “THIS IS WHAT TECHNOLOGY HAS DONE TO US.”
I’ll tell you what I wasn’t hoping to see when I logged onto my computer yesterday: Scott Baio taking a bubble bath. He tweeted this picture of himself during tub time saying “Is anyone casting for a new Alfalfa? @NickelodeonTV.”
I only could have felt more uncomfortable if there were peen float and rubber duckies. Any positive feelings that remained from the “Charles in Charge” days are now gone. Charles has lost control. How do we let celebs know that there are some moments that should not be shared with the world? Whether it be bubble baths, toilet business or eyebrow waxing, these famous dudes made us want to push the untweet button. [Seriously OMG]
Have you seen graffiti that’s kind of sweet (even if it is against the law)? In honor of Valentine’s Day, we’re reviving Love Vandal, in which we feature reader photos of love-inspired graffiti around the world. The next time you see a sweet message scrawled in a bathroom stall, lovers’ initials written or carved on the sidewalk or in a tree, a romantic platitude spray-painted on a highway overpass, or hearts, kisses, and the like plastered anywhere they’re not really “supposed” to be, snap a pic and post it to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #lovevandal. In addition to being added to the Chute gallery after the jump (click on the thumbnails to see ‘em large), we’ll choose our favorites to specially feature on The Frisky. Check out some existing Love Vandals after the jump and start keeping your eye peeled… Keep reading »
Sorry if this is ruining your perfectly fine Wednesday, but we thought we’d bring this asshattery to your attention. The Senate voted in favor of the Violence Against Women Act on Tuesday, which is great! What’s not great: there were 22 jerks who voted against it. Thankfully, Whitney Dawn over at A Fine Frenzy compiled a list of all 22 dissenting Senators — which we’ve listed, along with their Twitter handles, after the jump, so feel free to put ‘em on blast.
And there is a silver lining: All 20 women in the Senate, regardless of party, voted in favor of VAWA, so there’s that.

Dear Todd Kincannon,
I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but we’re breaking up. You’re the former executive director of the your state’s Republican Party. I can appreciate a strong fiscal policy. You live in South Carolina. I hear Charleston is lovely at any time of year. You know how to use Twitter. That’s always a plus for a social media user like myself.
But then you tweeted a whole buttload of racist tweets about Trayvon Martin, the unarmed black teenager who was shot to death last year. And that shit ain’t cool. Keep reading »
Twitter’s #WhatToSayAfterSex hashtag is chock full of stupid/awful/offensive/misogynist post-sex one-liners. But there were a few that impressed me. Such as “That was amazing. It [was] like a wild leopard on acid on a roller coaster made of sweets.” Wow. If someone said that to me, I might propose right then and there. Actually, I had no idea people did anything besides besides eat, sleep or cuddle after sex. Huh. #WhoKnew. What do you say after sex? [Twitter]
In the past couple of months, I’ve tried something new: I’ve removed people from my life who were not adding anything to it. I de-friended on Facebook. I unfollowed on Twitter. I stopped responding to emails.
This is so unlike me. Keep reading »
Sometimes I forget that my Twitter feed is followed by nearly 5,000 people. Not braggin’, just sayin’. So sometimes I post my very emo feelings (like the one above) or my deep thoughts about Essie’s Splash Of Grenadine nail polish, assuming only my closest girl friends are going to read it. And then I get @ replies from a bunch of strangers and think, Oh, dear.
I never know whether to use Twitter as solely a professional tool or an extension of my brain. It’s sorta both. I hate the idea of “personal branding,” but I also understand why it exists and is a good thing for some people. I just don’t think that my “personal brand” is anything too flashy: I’m honest, I’m real, I’m thoughtful, I’m nuanced … and more than a little occasionally, TMI.
Here are just a few types of tweets I invariably find myself regretting, with examples from the last month alone. Keep reading »
