I hoarded links for almost two months. I think I’m doing well by not spreading them all over my (immense) desktop as much as I used to. A few minutes ago I sorted them. Three “geeky” (see previous post). Then, 34 of a political nature. Well, it’s not like you’re unable to see the nose in front of your face, so I’m just going to toss out that folder. That leaves this mix and match set.
Miraz told me about these tattooed NYC toughs who have no pity for those that abuse or neglect animals. Rahhh!
A German prosecutor is checking into Bayer CropScience’s pesticide chlothianidine for links to mass bee deaths. Bees be critical to everything, beeeesides being cool creatures.
If you’re serious about increasing your strength, follow this six week training program and you’ll soon be on your way to completing 100 consecutive push ups!
What worries me are the consequences of a diet comprised mostly of fake-connectedness, makebelieve insight, and unedited first drafts of everything. I think it’s making us small. I know that whenever I become aware of it, I realize how small it can make me. So, I’ve come to despise it.
I now return to my uncategorized Nibblettes™. Hope you enjoyed the previous thematic entries on Biking, Tech-related, Reading/Learning, Do Something, Visual, and Political topics.
Violence among teenagers in the UK is on a massive and frightening increase. I think it would be easy to say ‘a lot has changed since I was a teen’, but I’m not sure what and I don’t really believe it.
We are a collection of 6 women, discovering life without adhering to society’s definition of normal. We strive to educate ourselves, learn from others, and share our experiences with not dabbling in normal. We are committed to creating lives of our own making and by our own definition, we know we are not alone and look forward to using this forum as a means to meet other folks who refuse to dabble in normal.
Accept what people tell you at face value. Surround yourself with people who think like you. Don’t stand out. Stay close to home. Get a normal job. Do things the way everyone else does, because there has to be a method to the madness…
All those hundreds of TV channels may lead you that there’s a true diversity and variety in today’s television … but you’d be wrong. A handful of large companies control what you see, hear, and read every day.
“Only men are capable of aesthetic greatness. Women make up 50 per cent or more of classes at art school. Yet they fade away in their late 20s or 30s. Maybe it’s something to do with bearing children.”
Art is made by ordinary people. Creatures having only virtues can hardly be imagined making art. It’s difficult to picture the Virgin Mary painting landscapes. Or Batman throwing pots. The flawless creature wouldn’t need to make art.
I guess there was some kid on one of those drek-filled TV shows of the same name, but OUR David was running for Senator from Idaho on the Democratic ticket. An uphill battle in this almost-most-Republican state, but unfortunately the other Democrat (with more establishment name recognition) won. I’m hoping this guy, a member of the Shoshone-Bannock tribe, will run again. I like his tone and goals.
Ultimately Congress is attempting to reduce your rights as a creator (whether you write, draw, design Web sites or sing), by allowing the infringer to make the distinction as to whether or not they tried hard enough to find the owner of the work and reducing the rights of the artist, designer or author. More details.
The latest volley from Bush et al. Carrying the flag this time is local dick, er, Dirk Kempthorne. And they’re making it harder to send comment. So do something.
