“This primal cry for democracy sprang from young people who could no longer ignore the angst in their gut — the premonition that their future does not compute, that their entire lives will be lived in the apocalyptic shadow of climate-change tipping points, species die-offs, a deadening commercialized culture, a political system perverted by money, precarious employment, a struggle...

According to a report by the Knight-Batten Award-winning nonprofit MAPLight, the 32 sponsors of the bill received just under $2 million in campaign contributions from the movie, music, and TV entertainment industries.
To put that in perspective, this weekend’s box office take for Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked (you can’t make this stuff up) took in $23 million in just one...

Where did you apply, and what program(s)?
Pratt Institute, for Library and Information Sciences. nothing left to do but wait now!
called the uni today again and this time they actually got back to me! and they did receive all the pieces of my application, so it’s out of my hands from here on. i don’t know when i’ll hear back about admission, but everything made it there so that’s done. fingers crossed.

yesterday while cleaning up my work hard drive and defragging i accidentally deleted my sound driver. i spent like 2 hours trying to install the driver download from the Dell website with no luck. for some reason the installer couldn’t find the driver. then today i went to some ghetto download website and had the thing going in like 10 minutes.

servile-masses-arise:
Capitalists often cite individual freedom as a positive attribute of their system. Why is it that a system that produces mindless and bland conformity (as we all know from our experience of life) gets to pose as the champion of the individual?
It’s down to some basic…

my Congress representative (whom I have never voted for once) responded to my request that he oppose SOPA. He basically said, in the most condescending way possible, “fuck you, I’m voting in support of it anyway.”
Hey, here’s an idea. Instead of lying about how many jobs SOPA will enable, why don’t you hold bankers responsible for situation they caused that required...

The Republican Governors Association met this week in Florida to give GOP state executives a chance to rejuvenate, strategize and team-build. But during a plenary session on Wednesday, one question kept coming up: How can Republicans do a better job of talking about Occupy Wall Street?
