First up, the music video made from all stock footage:
If you haven’t seen it yet, the saddest map in America: by state, how most people post in Craiglist’s missed connections.
I’ve mentioned it before, but just a reminder, the Republicans are only okay with the Violence Against Women Act if it specifically doesn’t protect the LGBT community.
I talked about it before, but the AP has finally come to its senses and is using the accurate terms ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ for all married couples.
And the human jukeboxes:
Rob lays it out. Remember, if you exercise free speech for your faith (and the haters agree with you), it’s okay. But use that same free speech to disagree, and you’re satanic.
Alright everyone, I have a lot of stuff to post again, so bear with me.
First off, Dollhouse went off the air two weeks ago, I’m still sad about it, but I highly suggest you watch it on DVD (skip the first few episodes of Season 1 and start with “Man on the Street”), in case you’re wondering here’s what you missed (spoilers, obviously):
Priya’s painting from season one was auctioned off for over $6,000, all going to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. And io9 recaps why we’ll miss Dollhouse, and it’s an excellent read.
But luckily, Lost is back. Here’s what you missed the first five seasons:
And here are Newsweek staffers who have never seen Lost trying to explain what’s going on:
A new series of books is going to be published via Geocaching. I saw an updated interview with the author, and he’s trying to spread them all over the globe, pretty cool, but kind of impractical. Also, I don’t seem very interested in the books themselves. Oh well.
Thankfully, PG+ has more than 35 members. And by the way, it’s awesome! I’ll be writing about it over at Metblogs pretty soon I hope.
Thanks Supreme Court:
I’m not sold on the iPad, if it was open to more than just the app store, I think I would get one, but right now, I don’t think it’s worth it. Check out Slog’s coverage of it, icnluding this gem of a sentence:
UPDATE: Post edited and cleaned up, because I was drunk.
Pensblog has an awesome guide to hockey fans. Check it out here. And the game is still going on tonight but the doors open early at 6 p.m.
One of the guys I work with is the Mayor of North Irwin! I call him Mr. Mayor now. Apparently the city council just fights a lot, so I want to get a group from work to show up with posters and bells like at a little league game or something. I think it would be fun. Also, as I like to mention, he won by 23 votes: mandate of the people!
NPR has a great article about the passage of time, and how we perceive it as we age. Check it out.
Rob Tisinai is back, his videos are articulate, well researched, and just all around amazing:
The Don’t Ask Don’t Tell hearings continue on. Want to see McCain absolutely owned? Check out this link. Not that he’ll change his stance, but it’s great to see nonetheless. Here’s more reactions to the hearings.
This is pretty awesome, and I think Pat would really dig it:
I commented earlier about the first legal male prostitute, and how he, ahem, compared himself to Rosa Parks. Yeah, he’s not bright at all. Well, the New York Post partook in his services (not all of them), check it out, but be ready to laugh a lot, and barf.
And if that didn’t enrage you enough, check out these three links about the “relief work” Scientologists are doing in Haiti. Disgusting. Because Haiti doesn’t need food or water, no, they need machines to con them into thinking they have dead alien spirits inside them. If you’re still looking for something to do to help, look no further than Savage Love, Facebook, and an awesome idea.
I like the ads, especially the first one, a lot. However, I do have to agree, I won’t be taking marriage advise from Utah thankyouverymuch. Also, the comments are a great read!
Want to commemorate the recent snow, get the t-shirt (I also suggest the map of Pittsburgh shirt):
That’s all I have for now, I have more, but I need to take a break, this has been a long post, but I’m almost all caught up! Catch everyone in a little bit!
