“OK, the idea that kids these days are “digital natives” is a nice, self-serving fairy tale. It makes tech-lovers feel good, because they feel like they are at the front of a curve. It makes educators feel good, because then they don’t have to teach a complicated and multi-level sets of skills and knowledges that they don’t have a strong grasp on themselves. It makes government types feel...

kim-am-i:
I’m sick and tired of people acting like it’s no big deal that Chris Brown will be performing at the Grammys.
I’m frustrated that the mainstream media is covering this story like it’s any comeback story, like an exiled prince’s return to a former glory, like this is another political timeline — as though some rich and powerful old white men in the music business have not just issued...

– Go Make Me a Sandwich: To dudes who think gaming is “sexist against men”: YOU’RE WRONG. (via alisdee)
TRUE TRUE TRUE. because the “target market” is still straight white men. you can tell because male idealization is a power fantasy, and female objectification is women-as-objects.

MPAA Directly & Publicly Threatens Politicians Who... →
wilwheaton:
Reinforcing the fact that Chris Dodd really does not get what’s happening, and showing just how disgustingly corrupt the MPAA relationship is with politicians, Chris Dodd went on Fox News to explicitly threaten politicians who accept MPAA campaign donations that they’d better pass Hollywood’s favorite legislation… or else:
“Those who count on quote ‘Hollywood’ for support need to...

the email I just sent to HonestGirlScouts.com, aka...
To Whom it Concerns, I am appalled at the intentions behind your website. I am a Lifetime Girl Scout member and have been involved in Scouting for close to 20 years, and I have never once encountered “Girl Scouts” who so flagrantly ignored core aspects of the Girl Scout Law. Your conservative political agenda goes against the most important key parts of the Girl Scout mission....
