That is a good Spotify playlist. One of my favorites.
Grand Jury Refusers Katherine Olejnik and Matthew Duran Are Free »
c4ss:
… Judge Jones’s ruling is here, with selected paragraphs after the jump. In short, it reiterates what we’ve beensaying for many months: That they weren’t there on May Day, that their confinement is looking awfully punitive even though it’s not legally supposed to be, that they have shown their resolve to not testify, and that the feds are asking them for testimony that would be tangential at best. (Who are these people and what are their political beliefs? instead of who threw a brick through a window?) …

HOW A COLLEGE STUDENT BUDGETS THEIR TIME
STUDYING:
SLEEPING:
DRINKING:
Cut out having to study and replace with having to go to work and then you have the adult life.
And if you are a college student who also works full time, take out drinking and sleeping and replace those with working and crying.
Creepertarians: You straight libertarian girls think you have it sooooo bad.. »
Editors note: I am not female and I do agree that it isn’t cool that this type of behavior is going on. Also, holy fuck balls, I never realized so many of these guys were closeted (or at least I didn’t know they were gay)!
So, some YALer from Texas hit on you at a happy hour? SO FUCKING…
New laptop
Well, I got the new Avatar laptop in today, played with it for a few minutes (I do have work to do, after all). A few notes
- The hard drive on this thing is LOUD. So loud, I am considering sending it back.
- Windows 8 is meh. I was able to enable the old-style start menu via classic shell, but I am not digging the new flat look (which is weird, because I love flat over glossy; Microsoft botched that somehow).
- This comes with Windows 8 Single Language. NBD since I am a stupid American and only speak English, but that could be a deal breaker for many.
- It is a beautiful piece of hardware. Brushed aluminum and it feels solid.
So I am not sure whether I am going to send it back or not. I really do like it, and I can just install Windows 7 if I really want to. But damn, that hard drive is loud…
Left-libertarian frustrations.
I’ve only heard one good argument ever for not completely abandoning the bizarre, ahistorical, and conflationary “free markets / property rights” definition of “capitalism” used by twentieth-century libertarians.
I have anxiety. I suppose this means I have a much lower chance of developing schizophrenia?
