Observation

When I decided to stop reading Twitter, I found that, on a daily basis, my moods were improved significantly.

yewknee:

Despite knowing full well that Twitter is a place of narcissim and meaningless updates I have to say I get legitimately agitated when I read overly vague and dramatic posts. If I read one more “too fucking sad” or “overcoming adversity despite the depression that plagues me” i’m going to quit the whole thing. why do people use these insipid web 2.0 services as a place to passively cry out for help?

DON'T DO IT

“Techcrunch’s Michael Arrington—a long proponent of never paying for recorded music ever… thinks MySpace Music is totes awesome. Why? Well, because it involves more free music for him, of course. Of course, all that free music comes via streams, which makes me wonder if dude is going to try and jumpstart the trend of hauling around his laptop on one shoulder, a la the way people carried around boomboxes back in the ’80s?”

A momentary embrace of tin-foil hattery

I’ve decided I don’t feel like making jokes about this shit right now; I feel like putting on my tinfoil hat and getting fucking scared.
Naomi Wolf: The Battle Plan II: Sarah “Evita” Palin, the Muse of the Coming Police State

What’s the plan? It is this. McCain doesn’t matter. Reputable dermatologists are discussing the fact that in simply actuarial terms, John McCain has a virulent and life-threatening form of skin cancer. It is the elephant in the room, but we must discuss the health of the candidates: doctors put survival rates for someone his age at two to four years. I believe the Rove-Cheney cabal is using Sarah Palin as a stalking horse, an Evita figure, to put a popular, populist face on the coming police state and be the talk show hostess for the end of elections as we know them.

Scharansky divided nations into “fear societies” and “free societies.” Make no mistake: Sarah “Evita” Palin is Rove and Cheney’s cosmetic rebranding of their fascist push: she will help to establish a true and irreversible “fear society” in this once free once proud nation. For God’s sake, do not let her; do not let them.

Why is a U.S. Army brigade being assigned to the "Homeland"? - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com

Why is a U.S. Army brigade being assigned to the “Homeland”? - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com

For more than 100 years — since the end of the Civil War — deployment of the U.S. military inside the U.S. has been prohibited under The Posse Comitatus Act. The Bush Administration has now pretty much done away with that. According to this disturbing Army Times article, starting October 1st, a U.S. Army brigade will effectively permanently be on “active deployment” within the U.S., and “may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control or to deal with potentially horrific scenarios such as massive poisoning and chaos in response to a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or high-yield explosive, or CBRNE, attack…”

Scary shit— active military acting as the President’s police force, WITHIN the U.S. And the MSM isn’t reporting on this, at all (?)

What the fuck? I mean, seriously, WHAT. THE. FUCK?
