some tricky politics

• Glad some zoos are starting to turn into conservation setpieces; assuages my guilt about going to look at imprisoned critters. #
• And while I loathe most of the perennial #BPAL favorites, I don't think I will ever get sick of Dorian. #
• You know, I honestly don't remember at this point if it's okay for me to make mp3s out of CDs I own. That's not good. #
• For funzies, check out the text of the international copyright act our governments are going to sign in a few weeks. http://bit.ly/9ZTkIE #
• For extra funzies, consider that "inaudita altera parte" means "without prior hearing of the other side". That side being you. #
• Also note that the US government was very committed to keeping this silent and that we only know about it now due to pressure from the EU. #
• And for those of you who don't believe ontological evil exists: http://bit.ly/91wVwI I think I have actually hit outrage fatigue. MONDAY. #
• I thought you were supposed to get more conservative as you got older. Yet I am gaily rocketing toward full-blown Marxism. #
• I just lectured someone on how capital was attempting to suborn their labor. Not something I ever saw myself doing, but I meant every word! #
• The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks makes me hope one of her descendants invents a virus that kills white people. #
• I guess I'm just furious this week. #
• @jimbrayfan I didn't even think of that! Has the ash scotched your plans? #
• Have been tolerating massage pretty well lately, but tonight killed me for some reason. Blech. #
• Finding cat vomit with your butt second thing in the morning: not a good start. #
• "It's a man's world, and sometimes… men make things that are stupid." http://bit.ly/9wpIjC Awesome tampon commercials! :D #
• Let's try letting the Canadians have Detroit for a year. It'll be fun watching their national crime rate spike within a day! #
• Have you forgotten about the West Virgina mine disaster already? Good! http://bit.ly/cTfRVM #
• Don't worry, though, soon there won't be any kind of better life for the workers to contrast their situations with. #
• Hey, the Deer Hunting With Jesus guy has a blog. Go get some learn. http://bit.ly/9t58IE #
• Awww, the man who assassinated George Tiller doesn't like prison. http://bit.ly/cR73qV #
• …aaand the oil rig decided to celebrate Earth Day by exploding. http://bit.ly/99ojPn Okay, I quit the internet for today, goddamn. #
• Was so sore at life today I had to see a cartoon to take the edge off. How To Train Your Dragon really is THAT friggin' adorable. #
• Also contains the only (arguably) tasteful boob joke I have ever heard in my life. #
• Former slave trolls the bejesus out of former owner. http://bit.ly/c7xHsd <3 If it is a hoax, it is at least a contemporary one. #
• A friend upon seeing The Neverending Story for the first time: "Is that Appa's gay uncle?" #
• @jimbrayfan The lingering terror of Gmork is enough to overwhelm the earworm capabilities of that song. #
• Mockingjay has been in my library's system for all of maybe 11 hours and there are already 26 (now 27!) holds on it. JFC. #
• #BPAL of the day is Embalming Fluid. I think this may be edging June Gloom out as my favorite warm weather scent. #
• I don't know what's worse: thinking your child is consciously choosing to rebel by being gay,or thinking the kid is possessed by gay demons. #
• The most petrifying trailer I have seen in a long time. http://bit.ly/cQAUb7 Way, way too plausible. Nerds tend to be Nice Guys. #
