radio silence

well, i got a promotion at my job and the hours are pretty brutal.  i haven't worked out the kinks in it yet.  i have a crap ton of tabs open in my browser to share but haven't found the time, yet.

this post is really just for people who stumble upon it.  i haven't gotten any new hits since the last post.  i haven't abandoned this.  it's just on a short hiatus for now.

Update: I have abandoned this.

lolwut

at the very least, i hope these get at least one person thinking

a beautiful picture if ever i've seen one.

the psyops have begun in ernest:  


a citibank protester talks about undercover infiltration in occupy wall street




ows infiltrator 




An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of companies, mainly banks, with disproportionate power over the global economy.
i couldn't think of anything snarky for this one.  :/


and last but not least, Muammar Gaddafi is dead. there is a video that shows the moments before the execution.  i don't recommend it.  


i'm going to go wrap myself up with something warm and fuzzy.

it seemed like a good idea at the time

 it wasn't until i was posting it that i saw it was an albino AND a cyclops.  fucking creepy

this looks like and describes quite nicely a girl i knew

i'm kinda' glad we don't have any of these awkward family photos.

if you're occupying anywhere, you may need this

i wonder how the wall street journal defines ideologically diverse.  i've found the opposite to be true.  

"In interviews, protesters show that they are leftists out of step with most American voters. Yet Democrats are embracing them anyway."

i love lists.  i love space.  i love mind blowing discoveries.  here's something that combines all three.

bearded boys bellow the... something that starts with  b and means song... billy jean

woot... my first bit of html adding.  it's not centered but it's a start.






attn: occupy milwuakee.




even in death, vikings are fucking awesome.







hero.

hehehehe... dung.

best.  venn diagram.  ever.

i wanted to be this guy so badly when i was a kid.




i'm so doing this to my kid.

it was a slow news day yesterday.  sue me.  here are today's things i found interesting.

there is too much huberus and not enough humility in the financial sector.  here's an example.

 

along those same lines lemony snicket chimes in with his trademark style with 'Thirteen Observations made by Lemony Snicket while watching Occupy Wall Street from a Discreet Distance'

i'm not sure how i feel about this pic.  it could be taken as the media has lied to us, given false hope, and subdued us to wait for our time to come or as we think we're so special that we're entitled to being these things.  still, it's a great movie.  

i can't find the words to describe this video so here's a marine yelling at some nypd.  people are still getting harassed, beaten, and arrested for no reason all over the place and not just because they're protesting.  please be suspicious of your local police.  

and now for something completely different...

would van gogh be more or less cool if he was murdered?

forever the victim

robert downey jr. comes to the aid of mel gibson... and makes a compelling argument.  not too sure how to feel right now.

i *heart* albino anything... so here's an albino peacock

maps from a <insert anything here>'s perspective was the joke du jour on reddit today.  here are two of my favorites. 

america from an english person with a limited knowledge of american geography's perspecive

sadly, i think this is the typical american's perspective of the world

first post

i've decided to get going with this thing.  it's been in the back of my mind for quite some time and it's pretty much now or never.  it'll probably die within a few weeks/months anyway.

it's going to look like crap until i figure out/learn enough html to make it look the way i want it to so bear with me until then.  

here are some links to concider stretching back from a month or so ago.  also, i get most of my stuff from reddit and fark.  once i get the hang of blogging, i'll probably be better at organizing the content to be a bit more cohesive and thoughtful.  

for now, here's a purge of my browser tabs of stuff i thought was interesting.  enjoy.

how to talk about the occupy movement

a message to 'occupy' organizers and participants. - from sage francis

wage ratios of the world.  kinda' sad.

"Secret panel can put Americans on 'kill list'" - wtf?  seriously.

fuck fox news

i really wonder how many americans think they are the 1% or are okay with the fact that they get by while most people seem to struggle

a protest sign i want to make only i'd cite my source.  graphs with legit, 'third party' sources would be awesome signs.

no one from these places will see this on here... but just in case... 'National Lawyers Guild chapters are working hard to provide legal support for Occupy protests nationwide.'

i really hope this is satire
