9gag: What’s Your Heavy Metal Band Name? Forsaken Zombies. Not bad. Sounds more like a Shoegaze band. Or perhaps post-shoegaze proto-metal.

humansofnewyork: “The education system is so geared toward fact drilling and rote memorization that students often exit with a head full of dates and formulas, but without the ability to constructively think.  Now, if we readjusted the testing and educational system to focus on critical reasoning rather than memorization, then even if we knew fewer facts off the top of our heads — we would be smarter overall.  We would take a step toward doubt – and a step toward thinking for ourselves.” I bet teachers just LOVE when this guy raises his hand. They taught us to memorize factoids, but never to question them, or to ask why they mattered. Public school is rubbish.

Mitt Romney's birth certificate says his dad was born in Mexico -

If this is real it is the best thing since bacon.

I could jizz myself at the irony. 

Fuck you birthers.

Wow. The guy who played Jack in "Lost" demonstrates that there maybe such a thing as too muscular. -

That is a frightening lack of body fat right there. Ew.

wilwheaton: inothernews: republicanidiots: quickhits: Missouri taxpayers soaked twice for Limbaugh statue. Because nothing says ‘fiscal conservatism’ like blowing $10,000 on a bust of a man so hated that it requires an $1,100 24-hour security camera all its own. And frankly the damn thing doesn’t look like him at all. hey that’s not fair only like ten million conservatives listen to rush limbaugh which is not all of them amirite?  oh yes here’s a bust of rush limbaugh molded from guano. Remind me again what, exactly, it is that “conservatives” actually conserve? Because it sure as hell isn’t money. Yeah, fuck starving children and social programs, we need more statues of evil assholes.

wilwheaton: inothernews: Besides the hype, besides the technical fuckups of NASDAQ, besides the overvaluation and offering too many shares during their IPO, I think the reason Facebook’s stock is failing as much as it is right now is that people have come to realize that Everybody’s Favorite Social Network is just too obnoxious, intrusive, and data-scrapingly assholish in the way it treats everyone from its most ardent users to, sadly, people on third-party platforms like, I dunno, TUMBLR, that perhaps want nothing at all to do with the privacy black hole that is Mark Zuckerberg’s dickishness incarnate but wake up and log on to find THIS UTTER BULLSHIT. I go on Tumblr to be on Tumblr, Tumblr.  Please leave the shitty Facebook tactics to Facebook. Cosigned.
