Beyond petitioning the small English publisher directly... What Are You Gonna Do? Is there an alternative to Kickstarter, and are they part of a huge corporation? Personally I will continue to fund projects that my friends put on Kickstarter. I _c…

"The activist website IndyMedia.com published nine pages from How to Protest Intelligently... "Spray paint so that if the authorities attack us, we can spray paint the visors of their helmets and the windshields of the armored trucks, blocking thei…

Show us where it says "Slut"

Overheard in the office..... "It's just been crazy. When is it all going to settle down?" "It isn't. We're all going to have to learn how to run faster." An interesting idea, and yet, don't we already work more hours (in the US) than in other count…

Speed Racer!! They should play that in the theater every week.

I love book I love movie

Same voice as from dat movie Anchorman: "I love book. I love movie." I never heard of this Cloud Atlas but I think it looks cool so I'm gonna read it. Personally I am "off" linearity in story telling. I love a spoiler, I love to read a book and st…

Not your fault! Who knows what would have happened depending on different reactions. One time I was waiting at an isolated bus stop in the day time, when a man skulked across the street in my line of sight (-for- my line of sight). He leaned again…

I'm so heart broken for Lady J! Filing a police report could not have been too enjoyable, but I commend her for formally dotting the I's and crossing the T's. Putting a note in these goons' files is the least a person can do--for themselves and for …

Weird sex stuff... well let's give it a shot! I presume that in this time, this was one of the more blatantly shocking aspects of the book. "Children in the bushes, furtive." So we can think of it as a tool to shock the reader. Huxley challeges th…

I want my MTV!!!!

Sorry, not much help... I know that is the whole point of evangelical x-chins who try to accelerate the apocalypse. So I retract my previous statements.

Here's another one: "When you suspect malice, never discount incompetence." Local fundraiser said that. We like to think that we are so intelligent, that imagination and deductive reasoning have an infinite capacity for understanding. But our minds …

That said... we must strive! That's the whole limit of the individual miracle of every life form, as far as I can tell. And life sure isn't limited to humanity, much as we try to drag every other species down with us. I wish we were more like bees o…

Been reading 1932's Brave New World... good stuff, really good stuff! Babies are programmed (sleep hypnosis) to value the goods that the state expects to produce in the future... instilling them with a pre-planned desire. Another big thing is teach…

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE... All pearls before swine!!!

But don't worry, private companies will take their place.

Collapsible weapon is a tight call. Thing is, I have the upper body strength of a small cat. My muscle's all below the belt... Poisoned heels? I'LL KILL A MAN

I got the scoop on this night that you are talking about from a fish called Wanda. It sounded like such fun

Oh my god, what movie? I luvs Dafoe.

My God!!! I had a bunch to say about this thread while I was riding the bus to work, pondering the Nike Store window display, which uses the language of art to speak in commerce. But now my thoughts have dissipated and I can't make them have a poi…

Just throwing this out there... a big part of how I got hooked on art was that where I grew up, the art museum was free! These awesome industrialists from the early 20th century put up a trust in perpetuity for free admission for all citizens. And t…

Did you sing a tune, Uncle?

Totally--it was a huge relief when I realized I wouldn't have to over-explain the situation to the driver supervisor. He got it right away, and he took me seriously. Best case scenario, the driver is just young and insensitive. He was little creep…

Tonic water contains quinine. It makes it a little bitter... it reminds me of artificially sweetened citrus zest. Club soda and seltzer are kind of the same. When in doubt, choose club soda or selzter as a mixer. I think "Club soda" gets its name be…
