I don't make a #webseries, I make Indie TV
vampiremob:
I make an Indie TV series called “Vampire Mob.”
Why don’t I call Vampire Mob a “webseries”?
It’s not because I’m ashamed of being on the web, which is one rebuttal I received - that’s just fucking stupid.
It’s not because I really want to work in network TV and I’m using the show to somehow “break into the industry.” I don’t and I’m not. If I wanted to work in TV, I wouldn’t...

Watchevangotlib:

Interesting time for this what with the 99% vs. the 1% movement going on right now. I know lots of billionaires have signed pledges and such to request higher taxes but Louis C.K. seems to be the only guy putting his money literally where his mouth is.

Simmons also has called for his 1mm+ twitter followers to boycott Lowes until the home supply chain issues a public apology for yanking their sponsorship from the program.
Well played...

My Birthday - Please Help
evangotlib:
My birthday is this Wednesday and I don’t need a damn thing.
So I hooked up with the NYC Food Bank to run a Food Bank Fund Raise. My goal is to raise $2,500 between now and the end of the day on Wednesday, November 30th.
I’d be grateful if you clicked and donated. This is going to be a very tough winter for a record number of NYC children who do not have enough to eat.
Thanks in...
