re: egypt
I’m hearing rumors that the Egyptian military has “joined” protesters? I should probably just Google it but I can’t find anything backing this up outside of reports that a handful of police+military dumped their guns in the Nile. Anybody?? This is some riveting stuff.

Open Appeal to 'Gamejournos' & Game Journo...
gamejournos:
There’s a lot going on in nhaler’s post, but it’s worth reading. He makes some excellent points.
nhaler:
I recently sent a message to Ben Patton/Paddon/whateverI’mnotajournalist at gamejournos.tumblr.com, more commonly known as “Game Journalists Are Incompetent Fuckwits”, or GJAIF for short. Obviously.
Edit: QUEUE FAILED! What else is new?
For the uninitiated, ‘Game Journos’ is...

usually i go to the campus subway and get a chicken sandwich or a blt or something, it ends up being stupid expensive because our subway isn’t supplied by the company proper or something.
so i went to the cafeteria not even five minutes away from my office for my lunch break instead, figuring i’d get something gross like an hours-old burger and gross fries or something. half of a...

The ubiquitous “like” is currency for brands, and Facebook is giving them a new way to collect: an ad unit that shows up on the right-hand side of the screen it calls “sponsored stories.”
The settings that exist for users to control whose feeds they see and who sees their feed also apply to the sponsored stories. Users, however, will not be able to opt out of having their action turned into an...

Wow, is it a crime to be a Christian governor!? Apparently! Apparently Christians and especially Christian politicians have a role in this “diverse” nation: keeping their mouths shut. Sadly, most actually do that when they should be speaking out just as loud as everyone else. Besides, they have the constitutional right to speak out....

getting rid of "grammar nazis"
i was recently subjected to a pretty embarassing example of grammar nazi-ism thanks to the wonders of facebook, to the point that i ended up blocking a dearly beloved friend from appearing in my feed.
i don’t get the hate people have against others based on their poor use of grammar. if you want my opinion, self-proclaimed “grammar nazis” are self-important little shits that...

The Millions : The Story Problem: 10 Thoughts on... →
As a student I totally agree with this — the width and scope of what goes into a novel is a mystery to me, as I’ve been taught almost exclusively about exposition based on short stories (and now 10-minute plays). But where does literary study fit into all this? Does studying lengthy classics not play into novel-writing education? Does the problem of not knowing how to construct a novel...

Ever the classy, reputable source of news that they are, Gawker’s gangly pop culture arm Valleywag tossed this out. I don’t want to sound like a gay basher but Valleywag is of course a gossip engine, so they have all these little details.
