Register to be a WBN 2012 Giver →
the book i immediately thought i would like to share, Ender’s Game, is on the list, but i’m not sure i know 20 light or non-readers.
also, i’ve already tricked most of my friends into reading that particular piece of fiction.
still, i like this idea.
This is cool, and I love giving my favorite books to people but… yeah, I can’t afford to give 20 of anything away right now (except hugs and kisses!). Perhaps next year! Can I just continue to lend my books to friends? :P
Q. Do I have to buy the books?
A. There is no charge for these special, not for resale editions. We’re just looking for enthusiastic readers to help get some books into the hands of new and light readers. Givers will be responsible for any expenses incurred in picking up their carton and distributing the books. We expect that such expenses will be negligible. World Book Night U.S. is supported by American book publishers, the American Booksellers Association, Barnes & Noble, the American Library Association, the Association of American Publishers, and Ingram Book Distributors. Through their generosity, we are able to make the books available free of charge. -
i’ve been putting a lot of work into asking for a raise.
but i would totally cave for the option of a fucking office with a fucking door on it because these people never shut the fuck up.

Hip Hop Family Tree - Boing Boing →
(oldest comic at the bottom)
reminds me of yes yes y’all, which i was just thinking of re-reading last night.
one of my favorite anecdotes about the history of hip hop is how they plugged into the light poles to throw parties on the street. i suppose early rave culture had similar correlations with true warehouse parties.
i get that it’s somewhat criminal, but there’s just something to pure and raw about saying “we’re going to do what we have to do to have a good time.”
i wish i’d experienced something like that. the beginnings… before commercialization…

Arkansas Dem’s pet murdered, with ‘LIBERAL’ scrawled on corpse | The Raw Story →
(WARNING: DON’T CLICK IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE THE DEAD CAT!)
Ken Aden, who’s running for the Arkansas’ third congressional district, came home last night to discover the family pet had been murdered and left on their front porch, as if the attacker wanted it to be discovered. The feline’s skull was bashed in, and an ominous message was carved into its side: “LIBERAL.”
wtf is wrong with people?

First, if you are going to oppose a bill, you should know exactly what you’re opposing, not just the vague principle behind it. Second, it’ll provide you with a valuable insight: that these bills are written in an attempt to obscure the truth.

Yep, that’s vintage John Elway riding a Tebow centaur. Where? To victory, of course. And then into our dreams. Our dark, disturbed dreams.
