Me and my roommate/bffmate/crushmate Amanda spend a lot of time sitting around the apartment talking about boys. Not boys we know, of course, but celebrities! We liken ourselves to 16-year-old girls: we just want to eat popcorn and make out with guys we see on television.
Just the other day we…

commodification of resistance will only weaken the movement. to anyone else down on #OWS, interfere with the taping of this as much as humanly possible.
Agreed, don’t let Viacom make an easy buck off the movement. True Life is not how you want the story to be told.

Don’t let a huge company dictate the narrative.

“In context with the complicit support of the government, the banks looted the nation’s wealth while destroying countless small businesses and brought the whole economy to its knees in a covert, clean manner, rather like organised crime. Our reaction was to march and wave banners and then bail them out. These kids would have to riot and...

Politicalprof: On London's Riots →
politicalprof:
I love London.
I’ve vacationed there several times. I lived there for six months on sabbatical. For whatever reason, I get London, and London gets me.
And not just the nice bits. As it happened, I lived in the remarkably posh neighborhood of St. John’s Wood. Kate Moss lived nearby. I saw Paul…

No one disputes that an on-duty Irvine police officer got an erection and ejaculated on a motorist during an early-morning traffic stop in Laguna Beach. The female driver reported it, DNA testing confirmed it and officer David Alex Park finally admitted it.
When the case went to trial, however, defense attorney Al Stokke argued that...

Solar Highways Solution to a Host of Problems →
Environmental engineers argue that asphalt is an antiquated medium for paving roads. They suggest that glass roads are a much better strategy for our current environmental problems. Glass roads would be lit by LED lights, they would produce solar energy, and the road material would make use of recycled garbage.

Congrats, ancientbruises! The paper was a great read. I never thought about tattoos as a way to reclaim control over one’s body. Maybe that’s why I felt compelled to get my first tattoo at 16 when I was trying to establish my independence.

Thirsty? Bored? Sad? FRIDAY?!?! You probably need a drink. Today I went to a bar and climbed over the bar and said ‘gimme it’ like Gizmo the Gremlin, all grabby and adorable. The bartender was like ‘you have to choose one’ and I said ‘Huh? What? All?’ and then I drooled on the bar. I don’t…

Obama’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech - WaPo
WATCH IT.

I’m dead. It’s nice having a president who’s intentionally funny unlike the last guy….
Well done, sir.
Between Obama giving this speech and strutting away from the podium tonight it kinda looks like how I imagined Jon Stewart’s presidency.
