There is something about…
a warm cup of coffee on a cold winters day.
freshly washed and dried sheets.
finishing a book.
helping someone you don’t know.
being vulnerable.
looking up to find stars in a clear sky.
expecting nothing in return.
not wearing shoes.
saying nothing but knowing, regardless.
unconditional love.

Hey y’all, if you thought the whole SOPA/PIPA was intense, you may want to check out ACTA (and also check out the fact that filesonic and uploaded are kaput).

I found out this morning that my grandmother is keeping track of when and where I go to visit you, with your name at the very top of the page. I feel slightly betrayed, although I don’t yet know if this is justified at all. I understand that you doing this is out of concern for my safety, however, that thought does not quell me. This makes me like you less.

SOPA blackouts begin as MPAA calls foul
Current MPAA president and thirty-year senator Chris Dodd further blasts the blackout as a stunt that punishes the users of the aforementioned services or turns them “into corporate pawns.” He decries the decision to protest as “an abuse of power given the freedoms these companies enjoy in the marketplace today” and claims that online information services are “intentionally skew[ing] the facts to incite their users in order to further their corporate interests.”
There are times in this job when irony and ignorance fuse together to form a black hole of stupidity that no journalist, however highbrow, can escape. This is one of those times. Here we have the president of an organization notorious for buying campaign votes declaring that Wikipedia and Reddit users are in the pockets of huge corporate interests.
Pause and consider that a moment.
No really. Pause. Consider.
