New Year's Mashup
Three memelets in one: 1. People are reblogging what they wrote a year ago tonight, after Jason’s suggestion. I went back and took a look. On NYE I posted a super brief year-by-year recap of the previous decade, as others were doing. (The self-rebloggy thing eludes me at the moment, so please click if you wanna.) Upon reflection, the thing that strikes me is not so much about what I said...

Frageelay: Just allow advertising, Tumblr. →
monkeyfrog: frageelay: Seriously. How hard can it be to generate revenue and fix your shit? I’d pay a subscription. I’d tolerate ads. Notes aren’t appearing in the timeline today. Tumblr kept crashing last night. People are talking about jumping to Posterous, but honestly I’d rather stay here because it’s more… Cosigned. A simple status page somewhere, with a brief blog entry explaining...

As long as there have been people, there have been celebrations to mark the shortest day of the year. Our calendar is more-or-less aligned around it, surely the seasonal boundaries are. We observe our significant religious holidays, those symbolizing hope and beginnings and triumph, just about now. We pause to celebrate, not because the day is short and the night is long, but because of the...

…the mandolin is louder than the snare drum in your mix. …your lyrics reference the nineteenth-century textile industry. …more than one member of your band was a Comparative Lit major. …Empty Bottle is too mainstream for you to play when you come to Chicago. Seriously. Toni was right last week. We need a new Nirvana to come in here and take a sledgehammer to...

Given the chance, I would kick Fred Phelps in the dick with enough force that he’d taste his own urine.

An Open Letter to Tumblr
minimalmac: Dear Tumblr, I really love you as a blogging platform. I don’t really think I could have started Minimal Mac as quickly as I did, nor keep up with posting regular content as easily, on any other platform. In fact, I still feel this is the case. I really do feel that if I switched to Wordpress or any other solution it would not be as easy or as pleasurable an experience to use when...

About WikiLeaks →
Today, with authoritarian governments in power in much of the world, increasing authoritarian tendencies in democratic governments, and increasing amounts of power vested in unaccountable corporations, the need for openness and transparency is greater than ever. WikiLeaks interest is the revelation of the truth. Unlike the covert activities of state intelligence agencies, as a media publisher...

LET'S HELP DEB MOVE →
ronbailey: Hey team, I’m not sure if all of you know Deb (http://debshock.tumblr.com), but she’s a pretty sweet kid who’s having a rough go of things. She unexpectedly found out last night that she has just three days to find another place to live, and it caught her totally off-guard since payday… Give a little, help a lot.

All Before 10:30
Here’s a Throwback Thursday offering, originally posted on my old blog in April, 2008. I’d prefer you don’t reblog it…thanks. Update: I tried to publish this with the “Read More->” thing but it didn’t take. Thank tumblr for the TL;DR. I had a worse morning than you. No, really. I did. Unless you died, in which case you aren’t reading this, my...

Funny
Most of the people who are all bent out of shape about Wikileaks are the same crowd who, when asked about the trampling of the Fourth Amendment in service of the War on Terror™, will respond with something like, “if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about.”
