A reader submitted this interesting recaptioned version of the May 10th edition of Random Shots.

For what it's worth, I don't think I'd vote for Stalin, but I can't speak for the rest of my Tucson Weekly comrades colleagues.

Whatever you're listening to on your headphones at work today is bound to be less interesting than Mari Herreras' audio appearance on the Steve Leal show today, which is airing right about nowish (assuming you're reading this post within the hour of its posting). It's super easy to stream the show online (or even on your phone, if that's your thing), so do it.

Mari previewed this week's show on her Facebook "fan" page:

[I'll be] Joining Steve Leal on his show today, 12 Noon, 1330 AM, All Things Political with Kieran Suckling from the Center for Biological Diversity...There may be a few mystery guests today, but nothing confirmed. Guess you'll have to tune-in.

Every year, we put out our gigantic Best of Tucson® issue and every year, the complaints start rolling in. "How did Jon Justice win Best Talk Show Host?" "My favorite restaurant is better than [fill in the blank]!" "Seriously, Jon Justice?"

Well, since most of the awards are based on reader voting and reader voting alone, now is the time for your voice to be heard. The ballot is online for Best of Tucson® 2012 and until May 30th, we'll be collecting the opinions of our readers. Has your favorite establishment remained shamefully overlooked? Post a link to the ballot on your Facebook page. Shout it out on Twitter. You only have yourselves to blame/congratulate, Tucson.

It's possible you've already noticed, but a few days ago, we flipped the switch on the 2.0 version of our mobile website and I'm personally really happy with the results. The whole thing just looks a lot cleaner and works better in general, but there are also a ton of enhancements, all of which are intended to help you not just read what we have in the print edition and on The Range, but also help you find somewhere to eat or drink, something to do, or a movie to see.

There are still more enhancements to come (including the ability to see and search the menus of local restaurants), but for now, if you have any comments or suggestions, let me know via email (dgibson AT tucsonweekly DOT com).

Who knows what we'll actually do with Pinterest, other than share some photos from our website and maybe some that didn't make the paper, but we're on there and we'll be adding stuff as we get around to it. So, if you want to follow us, we'd be happy to follow you and we'll let the Pinterest magic wash over us together.

As always, we strive to improve the user experience for you, reader of TucsonWeekly.com, hopefully in a manner that involves as little extra work for our staff as possible. So, we're thrilled to announce that you can now subscribe to comment threads!

So, when you post a comment, this option will be presented:

Click the handy button and you'll get an email (to the address on your account) notifying you of future postings to that thread. So simple and convenient!

Also, even if you haven't commented in a thread, you can still keep up with the angry things people are saying about us, either via RSS feed or email at the bottom of the comment block:

Enjoy!

Today in "strange things that happen around here" news: We received a shipment of flowers from PETA thanking our editorial board for its piece on the Reid Park Zoo elephant situation. Even stranger, the note on the flowers said that 10% of the cost of the flowers was donated to PETA. So, they managed to donate to themselves and get us some flowers.

The Cub Scouts of Pack 261 are visiting the Tucson Weekly offices today to learn about how a weekly newspaper is put together. We don't get all that many tour groups through here, so this merits a blog post, right? Thanks for coming by, Scouts!

While it might seem a little early to you, putting together our Spring Arts Preview is serious business. As you read this, Calendar Girl (as editor Jimmy Boegle puts it, "her term, not mine") Linda Ray is working hard to put together our comprehensive guide to what's happening between January 15th through the summer in galleries, museums, on stages and everywhere else artsy. However, inevitably once the issue hits the stands, someone will complain that they weren't included, so this is your warning. We have to have the information to include it in this issue, and we'd love your help in getting all that information together in one place.

If you are an artist, someone affiliated with art, or know someone with some sort of art thing going on in Tucson during the first half of 2012, please let us know what's happening. We don't even need an actual press release. You don't even have to use complete sentences! Send us the start date, end date, hours or show times, ticket or admission prices and, of course, the titles of your events to [email protected], and we'll get it out to Tucson. Thanks.

You might have noticed that there have been a few changes to the Weekly Wide Web recently, some design stuff to make the site a little cleaner, but also some actual changes to the comment section. You probably can figure this stuff out yourself, but here's a summary of this round of changes:

1. Now you can give a thumbs up or thumbs down to individual comments. Choose your own standards for whether you choose to vote and which direction. I mostly vote based on spelling and whether an insult about my intelligence or genetic makeup is particularly clever. You can also sort the comments by popularity instead of by time of posting.

2. We've added a comment box to the flagging process, so you can provide a bit more detail about why a comment should be pulled.

3. If an article is particularly popular and you want to load additional comments, that now happens without reloading the entire page. This may not seem like a big deal, but this should save you a few seconds, and that sort of thing adds up over time.

Of course, we're always interested in how we can improve the experience of reading the Tucson Weekly and The Range online. Feel free to email me and let me know what you think.
