Things I learned today

…that I didn’t know I really needed to know:

> My ABCs, courtesy of Bruno.

> I have been waiting desperately for a new Whitney Houston album.

> Scientists say Facebook and Twitter are making people less compassionate. I want to kick them in the face.

> Someone out there has a MUCH bigger crush on Chris Pine. Or maybe just his cock.

> Despite that video, autoerotic asphyxiation is not for me (rest in peace, Grasshopper) 🙁

> Because the National Post’s Barbara Kay doesn’t know any hateful conservatives, there is no such thing as right-wing bigotry.

> Straight girls are desperate to be my BFF but I’m holding out for Bryan Safi

> Will Ferrell‘s ‘Land of the Lost’ movie opening today looks way more fun than I thought it would be.

> Neil Patrick Harris is hosting the Tony Awards this Sunday. Also, he’s awesome. Oh wait, I already knew that.
