Address Is Approximate (by The Theory)
With Etta James, every shocking grunt, every growl, every overflowing scream, and every sweet, almost sarcastically honeyed swing of low notes brought you deeper into those living rooms with cigarette ashes and empty glasses, closer to an intimidating, angry, yet thoroughly candid woman who only sang songs about herself. Hers was a dynamic, almost counterintuitive genius; the most flamboyant jazz singer of her generation was also the most nuanced.
This appears to be yet another example of the kind of takedown abuse we’ve seen under existing law — and another reason why Congress should soundly reject the broad new powers contemplated in the Internet Blacklist Bills, aka SOPA/PIPA.

Universal Censors Megaupload Song, Gets Branded a “Rogue Label” | TorrentFreak
I create a song with my lyrics and music featuring your artists who like what I’m doing and fully agree to participate. You send content takedown notices in an abuse of power to rain on my parade as it goes viral.
So blatantly evil, UMG.

The origin of the Konami code, as told by its inventor | Joystiq
The code uses its familiar, now-iconic pattern for … convenience. “Because I was the one who was going to be using it,” Hashimoto said, “I made sure it was easy to remember. The game took around half a year to develop, and, at the time, putting the code together was like an entertaining puzzle. ‘How on earth am I going to be able to fit these passwords into the program?’ I’d ask myself.”
Now I really want to play Ikari Warriors, bucking the side scroller paradigm by 90 degrees.

Today there are more African-Americans under correctional control, — in prison or jail, on probation or parole – than were enslaved in 1850, a decade before the Civil War began. There are millions of African-Americans now cycling in and out of prisons and jails or under correctional control. In major American cities today, more than half of working-age African-American men or either under correctional control or branded felons and are thus subject to legalized discrimination for the rest of their lives.

Ingeniously evil change-up no?
In any event, believe it or not, I’m really not angry that I got arrested. I chose to get arrested. And I’m not even angry that the mayor and the LAPD decided to give non-violent protestors like me a little extra shiv in jail (although I’m not especially grateful for it either).

Think of the memes people. What will become of Tumblr?!
The “softness” of human female vaginas as a positive thing is highly sexualized, and given that the site caters to men’s fashion, it is a heterosexual appraisal of what is nice about a vagina. I have been unable to find any product specs about the Vagisoft material being self-cleaning, facilitating childbirth, and providing sexual gratification for women—all qualities that their flesh and blood counterparts are known for. Given the pictures of children, statues, and alternately satisfied and grizzly men all swaddled in the blanket, the sexualization is especially problematic.
Why? Because there is absolutely no way for-profit health insurers are going to be able to learn how to get by and still make a profit while being forced to spend at least 80 percent of their receipts providing their customers with the coverage for which they paid. If they could, we likely would never have seen the extraordinary efforts made by these companies to avoid paying benefits to their customers at the very moment they need it the most.
Today, that bomb goes off.

You may remember raves as that phenomenon you complained about not understanding back in the ’90s. Well, they’re back, and more off-putting than ever! Glow sticks, neon, that “dancing” thing you thought young people swore off with indie rock. Now, massive traveling festivals and parties are sweeping the nation, providing ample galleries of topless youngs for old people to be horrified/secretly titillated by.
Reclaimed language is a hot button issue. Not to make light of these discussions, but let’s call these raging debates “Voldemort syndrome.” For those of you who have read the Harry Potter books, you’ll recall that it’s a big fucking deal that HP will say Voldemort’s name out loud, because he’s associated with a lot of horrible, painful shit. Voldemort’s name, in essence, is a trigger for people who have been oppressed by him in the past. Replace any derogatory slur for Voldemort, and you see where I’m getting at here. Voldemort killed HP’s parents, but Harry is the only one who is not afraid to say his name out loud, and he is ultimately the only one who can defeat him.
