Gawker: one of the first out of the blocks with their own irreverent 911 mega post – a defiant selection of the Big Apple’s finest snark for the day that’s in it. They’re New Yorkers. They’re allowed.
The September 11 attacks placed all kinds of characters—some sinister, some sympathetic—in the public eye, both making careers and ending others. It helped conspiracy theorists attract followings, terrorists earn life sentences, rescue dogs win medals, and patriotic country music stars gain crossover fans. Let’s check in with some of the folks (and dogs) for whom 9/11 became a watershed personal branding moment, whether they intended it to or not.
The Stars Of 9/11: Where Are They Now?
The New York Times has assembled and posted more than two hours of military, air traffic and airline radio communications – some of it never before heard in public. It is depressing and fascinating.
In New York magazine’s 9/11 issue, Mark Lilla says, “The tragedy will be mourned, then trivialized, then commercialized, and then amnesia will set in.” There are some tchotchkes that mourn, trivialize, and commercialize that tragedy all at once.
The graphic above shows the position and projected path of ex-Katia at 6pm this evening.
tldr? She’s headed this way, and fast. Not the greatest time to be out on the Liffey making art.
Irish Weather Online has an even more alarming animation that tracks the movement of all three tropical systems Katia, Maria and Nate in the Atlantic basin over the past 72 hours.

From Fluffylinks:
Warner Bros. decided to take viral marketing literally by using actual bacteria in a billboard to promote upcoming movie Contagion. Over time the virus grows within the billboard reflecting how the virus spreads in the movie (get it?). I think the reaction of the people walking by this creative billboard says it all.

Because you can’t beat a good crotchfire and a bit of scat.
This is the ba-dabba-dabba-dweeb that started it.
