Is ‘Game of Thrones’ (and other TV dramas) really a YA novel?

From Laughing Squid:
To celebrate the television series Homeland and its season 2 finale on December 16th, Californian designer Ty Mattson of Mattson Creative created an excellent series of 12 Homeland inspired vintage jazz record covers. See all 12 covers here.
Love these.
HOMELAND: Would that really happen to Brody? We had an intelligence expert fact check the show.
Just finished the first season. What a show!
I will still be part of the ‘Today’ show family but I’m gonna have a new timeline, a new role. This is not as I expected to ever leave this couch after 15 years but I am so grateful. Especially to all of you who watch because Matt and I and everyone who sits on this couch, we often call ourselves a family but you are the real ‘Today’ show family.
You are why I have ventured into dangerous places and interviewed dictators and jumped off of planes and off of bridges and climbed mountains and landed in the South Pole and convince the Dalai Lama to come live in our studio. I have loved you and I have wanted to give you the world, and I still do.

8-bit “Community” game might become a reality after all
Reddit user Britta-Bot has set to work recreating “Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne”, the 8-bit title featured on NBC sitcom Community’s season finale. While the title is in it’s early stages, featuring little more than a handful of maps and characters seen on the show, Britta-Bot plans to introduce health and inventory systems, new maps, and more in future releases. Community fans, this is definitely something worth checking in on from time to time. (thanks to LaughterKey for the tip) source
While your tumblrer isn’t a huge fan of ‘Community’ (*dodges tomatoes*), we admit their fans are super committed.
Consider that it’s incredibly unclaimed and that it’s not coming from a credible source.
This is the best credible information we currently have.
NBC is going to announce their fall schedule on Sunday, if not Monday at the upfronts. Hold tight till then.

Is Alec Baldwin really leaving NBC? Why is he leaving “just in time”? Santorum, Zimmerman’s lawyers, and now Jack Donaghy? So many questions!
Olbermann out!

For decades, the Supreme Court has refused to televise its proceedings, arguing that video cameras would be distracting, encourage grandstanding by justices, and allow snippets of argument to be taken out of context by a voracious news media.
It doesn’t look like there will be cameras in the Supreme Court any time soon. Which is good if you like the drawings I guess.

Art Break, 1985
MTV is reviving “Art Breaks,” a 1985 show that highlighted rad artists such as Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Spike Jonze. Oh, and they totes are on Tumblr. Hurray for culture!

The Hunger Games has all but consumed her. Every time a trailer for the film comes on TV, she goes bonkers, screaming “Shhhhhhh!,” turning up the volume too high and opening her eyes about three times wider than normal—even if it’s a trailer she’s seen a dozen times. Mandy knows the full bios of every cast member of the film, and she has strong opinions on the actors who were selected for the movie. “At first I was a little upset with them choosing Josh Hutcherson for the role of Peeta because he’s not blonde,” she says with all the authority of a veteran Hollywood casting director. “But then I found out that he was dyeing his hair. He’s a good actor, he can pull it off.
Bill Pullman is playing the POTUS again, this time in an NBC comedy called 1600 Penn (or, an excuse to post “the speech”).
