haha i’ve spent ~six hours transferring site content over to a new system that we don’t need and now i’m probably going to get into some degree of trouble because the web dev has made a list that propagates every single article written under a certain subdomain and all the pages i’ve transferred have been filed under that subdomain and the goofy CMS we’re using...

Or there would have been, had anyone but a portion of its inhabitants given any thought to the giant rock pirouetting through space.
Some might have contended it was “Whoops,” an admission of a grave mistake by the scientists intended to keep a vigilant eye on such things. Others would perhaps have held a different view, slurring something scandalous over white Russians at a...

I view all women who don’t identify themselves as feminists as unintelligent.
Intelligent people understand when they’re rights have been violated. Intelligent people fight for themselves.
Isn’t that a bit harsh? What about alternative movements like egalitarianism or equalism?
isn’t it a little patronising to assume that every...

One of the cool things about the internet, and about tumblr especially, is the way that it allows for the quick propagation of all sorts of antiracist, antisexist, antihomophobic, etc., ideas. The appearance of sites like Color Lines, Jezebel, Racialicious, Feministe (sites which vary greatly in quality and ideological orientation), among others, have all been really...

…’cause a camp, where young people learn about democracy and becomes a part of the democracy is apparently the same as Hitlerjugend, yeah, totally -_-
Norwegian link, this is what he said:
“There was a shooting at a political camp, which sounds a little like, you know, the Hitler youth. I mean, who does a camp for kids that’s all about politics? Disturbing.”
To be honest, you know what...

gaberivera:
Something bothered me about Simon Dumenco’s piece about Huffington Post yesterday. Not the substance of his column, which was valid and well-argued, nor the favorable comparison to Techmeme, which was, well, favorable to Techmeme.
What irked me was the reminder that “aggregator” is a rather broad-brush term that paints systematic news-rewriters like the Huffington Post (who bury...

They call it “the big blink.” That seems apt.
If you put the entirety of DC to you ear, you can faintly make out the echoed whispers of countless interns and advisers nodding their heads and saying “daaah gee Boss, dats a great idea Boss, good thinkin’ Boss,” just like all the lampooned 40’s mafia cronies in Looney Toons.
