Jessica Valenti: Why The Washington Post's new... →
jessicavalenti:
Here’s the thing: I will always want more women’s (and feminist) voices in the mainstream media, particularly in politics. There’s an overwhelming byline gender gap and that needs to change. But The Washington Post’s new lady blog, “She the People,” is not a step in the right direction….

The Jazz Age
fromme-toyou:

mrgan:
I never woke up that early. I worked a late shift and followed it with a three-hour computer stretch starting at midnight, so eleven was an appropriate time for me to start the day. But that day, I had to wake up early to drive my dad to a job interview.
His English was pretty rocky (still is)…
Neven Mrgan's tumbl: What iMessage did to my... →
mrgan:
iOS 5 introduced iMessage, a service that seeks to replace text messaging. Carriers view text messaging as a special, astronomically priced type of data - iMessage undoes this madness and uses your dumb data pipe to send text, pictures, and videos to users identified by their email or phone…

My platonic/intellectual love affair with Alan Moore began on my first visit to Buzz’s LES apartment. Scanning his bookshelf - as I am wont to do, as I will do with your shelves when I visit your home - I noticed a number of personal favorites. Knowing already that Buzz was a man whose tastes I…

CNNMoney Tech Tumblr: About 5% of Facebook's users... →
cnnmoneytech:
Facebook filed an amended S-1 — the paperwork for an IPO — late on Wednesday. Our post-5pm brains are still picking through it, but the big takeaway is that Facebook estimates “false or duplicate accounts may have represented approximately 5-6%” of its monthly active users as of the end of 2011.

paddyjohnson:
The game is up: we see through the pyramid schemes of the temples of cultural elitism controlled by the 1%. No longer will we, the artists of the 99%, allow ourselves to be tricked into accepting a corrupt hierarchical system based on false scarcity and propaganda concerning absurd elevation…

On January 9, 2007, I took the day off from work to watch Steve Jobs’ keynote. I stayed off iChat, and I told the people who were likely to contact me that day to please refrain from feeding me any info on what Apple announces that morning. I waited for the video feed to become available, which…
