The Most Badass Excerpt From Barney Frank's Interview With The NY Times

Interviewer: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
Interviewer: Why not?
Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
Interviewer: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
Barney Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?

Things what I learn when I dance: First Post

doingthelindyhop:

I get frustrated because I don’t have a big bag of tricks yet and sometimes I think I am boring the follow because of this.

Don’t worry too much about building your arsenal of moves just yet. The two most important things to get engrained into your brain in the beginning are these:

Just have fun. Look at your partner as much as you’re comfortable with, and smile. Laugh at fun things that happen, and laugh off the little mistakes. Fun is why you’re there. She won’t be bored as long as you’re engaged with her and bringing some joy to the dance. Don’t apologize unless you’ve accidentally bonked her in the head or something. Losing the tempo or screwing up a move are not apology-worthy.
Listen to the music. You’ll be tempted to pay too much attention to the moves. Sure, be careful not to step on your partner, and sure, give some attention to connection and form…but try to make the music just as much of a focal point as your partner. As your dancing gets more advanced, you’ll start taking classes that focus on musicality, and improvising to the nuances of the music. It helps if you start really listening to the nuances of the music early on.

Yay! Another lindy hopper!

As a society, we may be disgusted by seeing U.S. Marines urinating on dead Taliban fighters, but we remain oddly unfazed by the fact that, presumably, those same Marines just put high-caliber rounds through the fighters’ chests.

We’re all guilty of dehumanizing the enemy - The Washington Post (via nickdouglas)

punkassjim: War, as a construct, is ancient, and it has fucking rules. “Civilized” societies have been waging wars for millennia, and battlefields are the birthplace of such lofty ideals as valor and honor. Not all soldiers have been expected to treat the enemy as respectable (regrettable enough as it is), but the idea of desecrating the remains of the dead has been the dividing line between civilized soldiers and complete fucking savages. We, as a nation, are sending complete fucking savages to wage our wars for us. These people treat their real, human enemies as if they were no more than a particularly challenging level of Duke Nukem Forever.

Limbo is on the Mac App Store. It’s a brilliant puzzle adventure with unbelievable art direction. It’s everything that’s right with games and nothing that’s not.

Whoa! I’ve been excited about this for a long time, checking google every few months to see if the XBLA exclusivity deal was still on. This is fantastic!

If you, or someone you know, got an iPad 2 for Christmas, I’d be absolutely thrilled if you consider getting my handmade leather smart cover to set it off. And I’d love you even more if you could reblog the hell out of this, because these are currently my only means of paying the bills.
