In the movie, Plankton, the unquestionably evil character, gets ahold of the Krabby Patty’s cherished burger recipe, and starts selling those...

'Vocal Fry' Creeping Into U.S. Speech - ScienceNOW →
hallekiefer:
Wow, having read this I think my voice is almost entirely vocal fry. I’m part of a Lady Trend!
Dragging out the vocal fry forever at the end of a sentence is obnoxious, but isn’t vocal fry in general a natural consequence of speaking in a deeper voice? And doesn’t that give us a leg up? LADIES?

There is a very simple way to save Community. It does not involve petitions (although those are fine), appealing to network executives, or mailing things to NBC HQ. It’s as simple as this: Are You There, Chelsea? needs to fail. And in a very specific way.

Klout styles, in real-talk
Specialist: You tweet a lot of stuff that a maximum of any given two of your followers will care about at once. People are clearly following you for some reason other than what you have to say, which is all there is to Twitter, so we don’t get it. Ratio of retweets to followers: confusingly low

The above is an excerpt from an email I just got about attending NY ComiCon this year. And...
