Killing Charlemagne: to a new era - thoughts #1 →
killingcharlemagne:
Starting again has never came easy. I seem to have faltered greatly in the conception of what it is to begin. Always thinking change is necessary the how has always held me back. Never asking why is what kills me in the end.
I have been beckoned to my keyboard. To start telling my story to anyone…

This blog is focused on my upcoming trip to Australia, but I had an amazing experience yesterday that I would like to share with you all.

I’m OBSESSED w/red dead redemption. I rented it ‘for a day’ from Blockbuster and now I’m just going to buy it. It’s insanely fun. I got my horse super loyal and then accidentally ran him off a cliff hunting for deer. I honestly almost cried when I realized he was dead. I was…

“We’re not going to lose the battle and lose the war and have to pay for it.”
With those words from Mayor Pro Tem Sheryl Cole, the Austin City Council voted unanimously today to repeal our old Crisis Pregnancy Center ordinance, and then unanimously passed a revised ordinance intended to survive scrutiny in ongoing legal battles.

Two lessons from the Megaupload seizure →
kateoplis:
Glenn Greenwald for Salon:
[M]any SOPA opponents were confused and even shocked when they learned that the very power they feared the most in that bill — the power of the U.S. Government to seize and shut down websites based solely on accusations, with no trial — is a power the U.S. Government already possesses and, obviously, is willing and able to exercise even against the world’s...

The amount of white whine in comments for the poster about racism and “fair skin” is kind of making me facepalm so much right now.

So the dog is safe now which is great. But all I can think of is the kid. Aside from the pain & trauma of losing his pet I’m wondering if he’s safe. People who do things like this don’t just hurt animals. They hurt everyone that they have power over & I really hope someone with a clue to this family’s identity has the wherewithal...
