Fucking Zuckerberg.
Wow. I just tried to remove everything that I had on my music/tv/books/etc bio page on Facebook, and not only do they make it laboriously difficult to do (you have to highlight each thing individually and then go to a “remove” button) but I deleted every list 3 times just now and they are still showing up in my profile.
FUCK YOU, ZUCKERBERG. I am this close to cancelling my entire...

notthatkindagay:
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is urging lawmakers not to repeal the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy until the Pentagon completes a review of it.
Congressional Democrats have been eyeing the upcoming Defense authorization measure as a vehicle to scrap the ban on gays serving openly in the military.
But in a Friday letter to House Armed Services Chairman Ike...

Can we think of some sort of alt-energy slogan for people to chant instead of “drill, baby, drill?”
Blow, baby, blow? For wind power?
Nah. Let’s just do it and forget the stupid chanting.

“I think we should catch ‘em, we should document ‘em, make sure we know where they are and where they are going. I actually support microchipping them. I can microchip my dog so I can find it. Why can’t I microchip an illegal? That’s not a popular thing to say, but it’s a lot cheaper than building a fence they can tunnel under.”

Expectations and Sacrifices.
rayuvlight:
When we find ourselves in a relationship with someone we’re madly in love with, there are definite expectations we have of those people. We expect them to love us unconditionally; we expect them to honor and cherish the home we’ve made; we expect humor and humilty; yet, we also expect certain sacrifices to be made in the process. There are aspects of single life that don’t...

On the birth of a pseudonym
In 1776, Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations, a sly and subversive classic of secular humanism too often mistaken today for a mere lecture on the benefits of capitalism. In it, Smith said relatively little about religion and even less about the United States. Yet he managed to put his finger on the forces that are still shaping the role of religion in American politics today. His...

This actually makes sense. What could be more symbolic of the current incarnation of rampant and destructive corporate greed than the mascot for an insurance company?
And the movie would be in 3-D, of course.

Facebook's plan for Web domination. →
These tiny, new “like” buttons look quite friendly and unassuming. Don’t be fooled. They’re the vanguard of Facebook’s brilliant, unstoppable plan to catalog the entire Web, and there’s a good chance that over the next few years they’ll help the social network remake everything online.

Anna seems a little heartbroken when she talks about what her siblings think of what she does for a living. One’s a housing advocate; the other, a workers’ rights advocate; the other, a newspaper editor in London. She says they’re “amused” by what she does. You can see the hurt in her eyes.
Most riveting scene in the doc. She accidentally shows us that she is human after all.
