tmkthefridge:
Last week when congress attempted to pass the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA), two pieces of legislation that would fundamentally change the way the Internet operates, they forgot to consider a significant voice in the debate - the Internet.
Both bills, which initially…

I'm watching the debate,
coketalk:
and it occurs to me that if you took the very best traits from each of the Republican candidates — Ron Paul’s integrity, Newt Gingrich’s guile, Mitt Romney’s looks, Rick Perry’s swagger, Michelle Bachmann’s vagina, and Rick Santorum’s tie — and then combined them into one über-Republican candidate, that asshole still couldn’t beat Obama.
I take comfort in that.

What I Learned in 2009...

Mostly, this is for Jordyan.
WHAT I LEARNED IN 2009
Drinking Rebel Yell by the bottle may result in living room wrestling pits.
If you lend someone your purse, it may be returned with puke in it depending on how good your night was.

#OccupyWallStreet and the Failure of Institutions
#OccupyWallStreet has been drawing complaints that it doesn’t have a demand and a goal. But I say that is precisely its significance.
#OccupyWallStreet is a hashtag revolt.
As I learned with my own little #FuckYouWashington uprising, a hashtag has no owner, no heirarchy, no canon or credo. It is a blank slate onto which anyone may impose his or her frustrations, complaints, demands,...
