All of the bloggers interviewed are much more insightful than I and have some really accurate and calculated thoughts about the whole thing. </p> <p>A vast change in features and freedom on the platform might have me reconsidering, but they would have to be pretty drastic. Even if I had only 10 followers, I’d probably still post. </p> <p>Bottom line really is, and what I was trying to get at, is no one knows right now exactly what’s going to happen to the site in the future. Sounding the doomsday alarm in my opinion is premature, so until everything changes for the worse (which I really don’t think it will), I’m going to keep on keeping on and suggest everyone do the same. </p>http://popculturebrain.com/post/50937350103http://popculturebrain.com/post/50937350103Mon, 20 May 2013 17:59:53 -0400YahooTumblr<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/69c3ec0a3c8c695a8ab628590bece1e6/tumblr_mn46jdB1uF1qijoeyo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://doctorwho.tumblr.com/post/50930685895/juddapatow-dr-who-pic-twitter-com-fue48xq6kz" target="_blank">doctorwho</a>:</p> <blockquote> <div class="content clearfix"> <div class="permalink-header"><a class="account-group js-account-group js-action-profile js-user-profile-link js-nav" href="https://twitter.com/JuddApatow" target="_blank"><span class="username js-action-profile-name">@<strong>JuddApatow: </strong></span><span>Dr. Who ! </span></a><a class="twitter-timeline-link" href="http://t.co/Fue48XQ6kZ" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/Fue48XQ6kZ</a></div> </div> </blockquote> <p></p>http://popculturebrain.com/post/50936825327http://popculturebrain.com/post/50936825327Mon, 20 May 2013 17:53:10 -0400<a href="http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/05/20/cbs-yanks-tonights-tornado-themed-mike-molly">CBS Yanks Tonight’s Tornado-Themed ‘Mike & Molly’ | EW</a>http://popculturebrain.com/post/50936171438http://popculturebrain.com/post/50936171438Mon, 20 May 2013 17:44:47 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1b62450118b0f49db1e76ba37f84ba7a/tumblr_mn483yQvFO1qhub34o1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ff4ed1ad375876876365023338399f92/tumblr_mn483yQvFO1qhub34o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://popculturebrain.com/post/50933411130http://popculturebrain.com/post/50933411130Mon, 20 May 2013 17:10:05 -0400<a href="http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/jon-vitti-to-write-angry-birds-movie/">‘King Of The Hill’ And ‘Simpsons’ Writer Jon Vitti To Pen ‘Angry Birds’ Script | Deadline</a>http://popculturebrain.com/post/50930125062http://popculturebrain.com/post/50930125062Mon, 20 May 2013 16:28:34 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/aa6ecde283adc7906e743621aebbc9bf/tumblr_mn453bJfIK1qhub34o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>‘Game of Thrones’ parody coming to ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’?</p> <blockquote> <p>Fun shoot today.
