An observation from Jonathan Martin of this ny occasions:
the length of time till The Reluctant Warrior goes from op-ed headline to reserve title ?
— Jonathan Martin (@jmartNYT) September 12, 2014
But Jeffrey Goldberg associated with the Atlantic shows that “Reluctant Warrior” had been taken. Too bad, Jeffrey. Call legal counsel:

@JeffreyGoldberg too-late, dude. We currently (TM'd) it.
— Jonathan Martin (@jmartNYT) September 12, 2014
Maybe this fixes it and avoids expensive trademark litigation?
@jmartNYT Then I'm choosing "Really unwilling Warrior."
— Jeffrey Goldberg (@JeffreyGoldberg) September 12, 2014
Or this?
@JeffreyGoldberg @jmartNYT "The More Unwilling Than You Warrior."

Although, here’s
He’s gone and switched this evening from being that reluctant warrior to being a real warrior against ISIS. “Reluctant Warrior to Genuine Warrior.” Catchy. At this pace, fundamentally the subject of this guide can be, “Obama: The Super, Really-Reluctant Warrior who’s today Like a One-Man SEAL Team 6.” Exit question: Does the Warrior-in-Chief need hand back his Nobel Peace reward?

8 Super Useful Websites That Might Help You Get A Damn Thing Done
Soothing audio salvation for those who hate noise.
If you work in an open office, the struggle is real.
Warner Bros.
Noise is stressful. It hurts productivity and makes you miserable. For people who suffer from misophonia, noise can be a living nightmare.
Luckily, help is at hand. Ambient sounds like white noise create a buffer between your ears and your immediate environment, blocking out distractions without overwhelming the senses.
Not only that, but according to a study of 65 people published in the Journal of Consumer Research, listening to ambient noise of around 70dB can not only block out the hassle, but can make you more creative.
Whether you want to work or sleep in peace, here are a few websites you can use to drown out unwanted noise. They are best experienced with headphones:
1. Rainy Mood.
Rainy Mood / Via rainymood.com
As any pluviophile will know, rain makes everything better. Rainy Mood is my go-to ambient noise app. The best part is they let you add a YouTube video to the URL and create your own rain/song mix with your favourite relaxing song – here’s one I made.
Perfect for: The anxiety-riddled / silencing Karen, who nobody fucking likes by the way, and who is determined to make you listen to every last fucking bite of whatever shitty lunch she’s smacking her mouth around at her desk. How do you not know you’re making that fucking noise, Karen?! HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW?!
2. TM Soft White Noise Player.
TM Soft / Via tmsoft.com
For fans of white noise, White Noise Player offers a whole spectrum of colours to choose from; white, grey, brown, pink, blue, and violet, each a different frequency of noise. Choose one, or a combination of colours, and block out the ambient hassle.
Perfect for: The over-stimulated / when you’re about to murder the shit out of whoever is crinkling packets of chips right now I swear to fucking god I’ll kill every mother fucking last one of you.
3. Coffitivity.
Coffitivity / Via coffitivity.com
Silence is figuratively deafening, and Coffitivity solves that problem by providing the relaxing background fugue of a coffee shop. There are several audio scenes to choose from, depending how many voices you want murmuring in the distance.
Perfect for: Hipsters / putting a damper on Mike the intern, who hits his fucking keyboard like each key is a repressed childhood trauma that he needs to punch to feel something. That fucking guy.
4. Simply Noise.
Simply Noise / Via simplynoise.com
Does what it says on the tin, but with a neat trick. Select either white, pink, or brown noise, set your preferred volume, and hit the ‘oscillate’ button. Simply Noise will then adjust the volume in pleasing waves. You can even hit the sleep timer to turn it off if you plan to doze.
Perfect for: The highly caffienated / dulling the laughter of whoever the fuck in the room next door keeps laughing at their screen like it’s the funniest goddamn thing in the world. It isn’t. Fuck you, chuckles.
5. Rainy Cafe.
Rainy Cafe / Via rainycafe.com
Like Rainy Mood and Coffitvity in one place, though providing fewer options.
Perfect for: The lazy browser / slight of tab / when June the temp is cracking her knuckles right in your fucking ear. Fuck off, June. Okay so it might not make you arthritic, but it does make insufferable.
Yes but is there an app? No.
6. Soundrown.
Soundrown / Via soundrown.com
Find the sound of waves soothing? How about a crackling fire? Soundrown lets you create your own ambient orchestra, mixing together chatter, rain, birds, fire, and wave sounds to create your perfect productive atmosphere.
Perfect for: Daydreamers / Shutting down Hugh in HR, who has been nursing a fucking cough for the past six-months. What the fuck, Hugh? Is it tuberculosis? Cough yourself to death somewhere else, tosser.
Yes but is there an app? No.
7. MyNoise
Featuring dozens of sound options, from ambient nose, atmospheric noise, and voices, to sound patterns, tonal drones, and binaural tones (which are trippy as fuck), each with settings to change bass and treble pitch, MyNoise is a goddamn pro-level suite of auditory defense tools.
Perfect for: Meditative types / silencing the fuck out of Pam in accounts, who’s mouth-breathing makes you want to stab out your own eye balls with a fucking ball point pen.
Yes but is there an app? iOS.
8. FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY.
Heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa / Via heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa.com
Some day you’re going to snap. All the clicking and the crunching and the tapping and the slurping and the coughing and the sniffling is going to get to goddamn much and you’re going to fucking snap. And when that happens you need to activate mother fucking Auditory Response Sound Emergency plan X, and listen to the greatest noise on the internet: a disco cover of Four Non-Blonde’s hit song “What’s up?” by He-Man and friends, because fuck if it isn’t just glorious.
Perfect for: When you’re standing alone in the blackest depths of your soul surrounded only by the maniacal laughter you can’t seem to stop bellowing from your throat, and the only hope left in this cold and desolate world of noise and confusion is to sing the fuck out of one of the greatest songs ever written / Fridays.
Yes but is there an app? NO BUT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY, YOU’VE GOT THIS.
Bonus: Here’s a 10-min mash-up I made of all the ambient noise websites at once:
[soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/189456634″]
Is it good? No. Are you going to listen to it anyway? Probably. Do we have to thank you personally? Yes.

Adrianne Curry: ‘Fabulous’ gay weddings & divorces will fix the economy
http://twitter.com/#!/AdrianneCurry/status/253141156597211137
Former reality star Adrianne Curry has tweeted some phenomenally stupid things, but today the Roseanne Barr supporter took the seven-tiered idiot cake by making a pathetic and offensive argument for same-sex marriage.
Evidently Adrianne is totally over making the moral and legal case for gay marriage. And arguments about civil rights and human rights are so last week. Her oh-so-persuasive new argument? Gay marriage is America’s untapped ATM.
@AdrianneCurry three words that will save our economy: gay bridal registry
— texas grace (@listen_to_grace) October 2, 2012
As anyone who’s anyone knows, all gay people are rolling in dough and throw “fabulous” parties. So naturally, the wedding receptions alone would put us right on the road to recovery. Helloooooo, stereotype!
In Adrianomics, same-sex couples are piggy banks to smash open for a big gay windfall.
As far as we can tell, her logic is that America’s gay couples have been keeping their cash out of circulation, boldly refusing to spend it at businesses that create jobs. They’ve been stashing tens of thousands of dollars under their fabulous mattresses, just biding their fabulous time until they can blow it all on fabulous, job-creating shindigs.
You know, because the most vocal gay marriage proponents on the Left are practically obsessed with supporting job-creating businesses.
In Adrianne’s brilliant mind, if only those greedy, socially conservative bigots realized how much work gay weddings would generate for ice sculptors, fondant flower decorators and Elton John, they’d be all about same-sex marriage. Not that she’d ever vote for a Republican. Or worse, a Mormon who believes in — yikes! — God!
@Kevrmoore @AdrianneCurry dude, fuck off. I am not voting for some mormon…i hate god, hate it in my politics,& am NOT republican minded
— Adrianne Curry (@AdrianneCurry) October 2, 2012
Further shoring up her genius case for gay marriage, Curry is looking forward to the stimulative effects of fabulous gay divorces.
@AdrianneCurry never mind the inevitable Gay Divorces to follow within a few years.
— Dave!! (@IHeartYourMom) October 2, 2012
What could be more financially empowering than dividing households and splitting up families?
So, as we learned, Fabulous gay weddings=economy boost. Fabulous Gay divorces-Economy boost. What's the issue, again??
— Adrianne Curry (@AdrianneCurry) October 2, 2012
Great job making the case for same-sex marriage, Adrianne. Just fabulous.

The Definitive Ranking Of Australia’s Most Popular Music Festivals
Bring back BDO.
16. Tamworth Country Music Festival.
Does anyone that’s not from Tamworth actually like it?
What you need to know: It’s an all round country affair – city kids used to city festivals may find it very overwhelming. And rather bogan.
15. Stereosonic.
If you’re into the whole dancing/jumping to all music that sounds the same then Stereo is for you.
What you need to know: Stereo is held in November/December every year, so you’ll have to start shredding by at least June.
14. Fat As Butter.
The Newcastle festival can draw some good bands, but the overall the line-up isn’t worth travelling for. Great for the local community and coastie kids however.
What you need to know: Don’t bother with sneaking in alcohol. They’re quite good at finding it.
13. Village Fair.
The people behind Village Fair are kind-hearted music lovers, just trying to give the people of Bathurst something worth dancing for.
What you need to know: It’s great for the uni culture, but if you live nowhere near Bathurst, probably not your thing.
12. Bluesfest Byron Bay.
Bluesfest is the kind of festival that may have one of your all time favourite musicians on the line-up, then nothing else interesting.
What you need to know: It’s a great one to take your Dad to.
11. Peats Ridge.
Peats Ridge was the most chilled out festival OF ALL TIME. Like, so chilled out, you can order Chai Tea and meditate while listening to the soothing sounds of Gotye to ring in the new year.
What you need to know: It’s not on anymore. Sorry.
10. Festival of the Sun.
Festival of the Sun is great for showcasing amazing Aussie talent and encourages dress up themes – fun!
What you need to know: You’re in for a good time, but not like wet-yourself-with-excitement good time.
9. Groovin The Moo.
Groovin The Moo is pretty consistent at boasting a fun line-up; but over the last couple years the festival is getting a little too diverse with the musical experimentation. So if your music taste is picky, more likely than not, you won’t be wanting to travel to go catch the festival for only one or two bands.
What you need to know: Dress warmly for the Canberra one. Otherwise your feet will turn into ice-blocks by the end of the night.
8. Future Music Festival.
Future is the dance/pop/rap manifesto that always draws the crowds back for a good time. Even Dizzee Rascal shows up when he’s invited and that’s something he doesn’t always do.
What you need to know: Stay hydrated. It gets hot out there.
7. Mountain Sounds.
Mountain Sounds is an awesome musical adventure situated on the Central Coast of NSW. Only a year old, the festival boasts a musically diverse line-up and showcases some fantastic Aussie acts.
What you need to know: The festival only runs for the Saturday but you have the option to camp both the Friday and Saturday nights – great for those who live out of town.
6. Secret Garden Festival.
While it’s colourful and the costumes are always fantastic there is a certain risk taken with going to Secret Garden – mainly the fact that you don’t know who’s on the line-up before purchasing tickets. But what’s life without a few risks?
What you need to know: The festival donates a lot of their proceeds towards charity so it’s all about good vibes and good samaritans.
5. St Jerome’s Laneway Festival.
Hipsters unite! Laneway Festival boasts a great array of international and local acts to wet your musical appetite.
What you need to know: There’ll be at least 5 or more bands on the line-up that are so indie you’ve never ever heard of them.
4. Big Day Out.
Big Day Out is the STAPLE of Australian festivals. The father figure. The one that you have to go to just for the novelty of it.
What you need to know: Currently no-one actually knows what the fuck is going on with BDO. Will it come back? We’ll wait with baited breath.
3. Falls Festival.
Chilled tunes by day, followed by lovely MDMA tunes by night (Must Dance Magnificently Always).
What you need to know: There’s a fair bit of walking so wear comfortable shoes and always keep a rain poncho handy. Face glitter isn’t a must but may be looked down upon unfavourably.
2. Soundwave.
One day many punk, rock, emo, metal and hardcore fans were praying for a festival that wouldn’t let them down. Then A.J Maddah – Soundwave God – answered these prayers, and brought a festival with a consistently stellar line-up.
What you need to know: Even if you don’t want to fork out for the festival, save your dollars. There’s bound to be at least three sidewaves you’ll want to hit up.
1. Splendour in the Grass.
It’s Australia’s biggest music festival and with good reason. Year after year Splendour constantly delivers and makes a perfect mid-year musical excursion.
What you need to know: If you love the Coachella line-up, chances are you’ll rate Splendour and the all round good vibe.
