Someone once asked Allen Ginsberg how one becomes a prophet, and he simply replied, “Tell your secrets.”
Rather than urging people to consume only plants, doesn’t it make more sense to encourage them to eat an omnivorous diet that is healthy, ethical, and ecologically sound?

Fantastic, but my favorite thing about this picture is the Chucks.
But, if no one’s gonna write on their Tumblr, well:
Seriously: The Roots and undun
I really love The Roots and Black Thought is one of my favorite MC’s. I haven’t purchased undun yet but I’ve been listening to it and it really is great and interesting and fulfilling. If you haven’t yet, please go buy it or listen to it or experience it.
This article in Capital is; fun to read,…
FYI – i know a forbes.com (salaried) journalist, and he has informed me that their bloggers do not get edited, and that they are paid based upon clicks to their posts. stop paying this guy. do not click the link, if you can help it.
I would not say this thread is “great” since no one is responding—besides you and my son! But you bring up a good point.
FIND IDEA THAT BURN, GRAB WITH BOTH HANDS, NEVER LET GO. THAT HOW MAKE FIRE.
Am I really that close with you? Should we actually be connected here?
Yep, Path is the first social app I’ve used that made me think I could really get more out of it by having less friends. I think that reflects some deeply smart design!
The price that fair-minded readers WANT to buy digital comics at is starkly different from what they are currently set at.
brianwood: The digital question mark
Dear comics industry, I stopped buying print comics right around 1990, but I literally yearn to buy digital comics at the right price. I am certain that, for every person buying your printed books weekly, there are on the order of 100 of us wishing it were just a bit more convenient and affordable to pick the comics habit back up. Please get this right before too many creators give up on the medium! Sincerely, Adam
“Bottom line: if Notification Center is on top, it shouldn’t use dark linen; if it uses dark linen, it should be at layer zero, underneath.”—
In the spirit of consistent skeuomorphism, I like to think of Notification Center as the flat sheet to layer zero’s fitted sheet.Â
I like to think: “What the fuck are you all on about? Nobody’s making mental models of OS texture topology, I guarantee you. Nobody but you.”

Occupy Wall Street’s anarchist roots - Opinion - Al Jazeera English via wood s lot
When it comes to their most basic political sensibilities, most Americans are deeply conflicted. Most combine a deep reverence for individual freedom with a near-worshipful identification with institutions like the army and police. Most combine an enthusiasm for markets with a hatred of capitalists. Most are simultaneously profoundly egalitarian, and deeply racist. Few are actual anarchists; few even know what “anarchism” means; it’s not clear how many, if they did learn, would ultimately wish to discard the state and capitalism entirely. Anarchism is much more than simply grassroots democracy: It ultimately aims to eliminate all social relations, from wage labour to patriarchy, that can only be maintained by the systematic threat of force.
But one thing overwhelming numbers of Americans do feel is that something is terribly wrong with their country, that its key institutions are controlled by an arrogant elite, that radical change of some kind is long since overdue. They’re right. It’s hard to imagine a political system so systematically corrupt - one where bribery, on every level, has not only been made legal, but soliciting and dispensing bribes has become the full-time occupation of every American politician. The outrage is appropriate. The problem is that up until September 17, the only side of the spectrum willing to propose radical solutions of any sort was the Right.
As the history of the past movements all make clear, nothing terrifies those running the US more than the danger of democracy breaking out.
But, does it really matter, the City is stalled, growth is negative and the only thing moving at Canary Wharf will be tumble weeds past banks of empty desks and MD’s PAs in a hooped ear ring frenzy at Accessorize.

I may not know what it means, but I know poetry when I see it.
I’d like to see the bootstrappers, the tiny service businesses doing great stuff for their clients, the parents combining business with a successful and happy family life, the small companies treating their employees with kindness and compassion held up as great examples – not those who think sleeping under their desk makes them better than the rest of us.
Agreed. Working on that now!

I guess if I’m honest about it, I often feel like Slashdot never got the fair credit it deserved. As “Blogging” became a mainstream buzzword that you’d hear about on CNN, Slashdot simply got lost in the history.

Slashdot was a huge inspiration to me when I started blogging in 1999.
Amadi Talks: Siri Failures, Illustrated
The recent illustrations of Siri, the iPhone 4S voice-recognition based assistant, failing to provide information to users about abortion, birth control, help after rape and help with domestic violence has gotten a lot of notice. Yesterday’s post with screenshots…

The No 1 agenda item: get the money out of politics. Most often cited was legislation to blunt the effect of the Citizens United ruling, which lets boundless sums enter the campaign process.
No 2: reform the banking system to prevent fraud and manipulation, with the most frequent item being to restore the Glass-Steagall Act – the Depression-era law, done away with by President Clinton, that separates investment banks from commercial banks.
No 3 was the most clarifying: draft laws against the little-known loophole that currently allows members of Congress to pass legislation affecting Delaware-based corporations in which they themselves are investors.
When I saw this list – and especially the last agenda item – the scales fell from my eyes. Of course, these unarmed people would be having the shit kicked out of them.
Blacks are not seeing anything new for themselves in the movement. Why should they ally with whites who are just now experiencing the hardships that blacks have known for generations? Perhaps white Americans are now paying the psychic price for not answering the basic questions that blacks have long raised about income inequality.
Nils Dagsson Moskopp: WHATWG on Google+
Welcome to the new web, a web without RSS or ATOM feeds. A web you cannot easily read without JavaScript because somewhere in the page header there is a “<style> body { visibility: hidden; } ” later getting unset by a script that the platform owners want you to run.
A web where re-sharing of content is limited by the platform, not by the capabilities of your client. A web where you cannot comment on an article unless registering in a corporate namespace (which kicked you out if you happened to choose a name they do not particularly like).
A web that lies – about content not existing, giving error 404 when you have no authorization instead of informing you correctly (just try https://plus.google.com/115888683480056819656/posts/XrcLaUMViJP).
update
My Dad called to tell me my site was blank. It was, because I hadn’t properly escaped the script tags in this piece about how sites like Facebook and Google Plus are breaking the web. Ironic, don’t you think?
