Already we hear people trying to make us aware of our coffee choices and the impact of our decisions. We are asked to consider the hormones in the milk, the caffeine, the plastic/paper waste, the fair trade issues, etc. But what does your coffee shop choice say about your national politics?
Adam, before a game of Apples to Apples at a dinner party tonight. Apparently this mix-up has happened before. (via rach)
apples to apples: an extremely, extremely fun game. but on friday night, to match the word ‘quiet’, i put my ‘helen keller’ card down. sad and offensive? extremely…i still feel bad about it. :/

Wow there, chill little squasher. No need to get your headband all in a twist.

Pat and Jeff have a great article on CollegeHumor about cinematic sub-sub-genres such as “Detective, your new partner is a dog” movies. It features such words as “felonious” so you know it’s well-written. And hey, if anyone feels like digging it, that would be nice.*
*I promise I won’t turn this blog into a list of things for people to Digg but I really, really think this article deserves to be seen by the wider world. My apologies for being lame.
This just in. Be generous. If you won’t do it to be selfless do it because it’s selfish.

When a boy was bullied for wearing pink to his school in Nova Scotia, two seniors came up with a plan to make the bullies see red.
Awww
High five kids!

Zach and I have this idea for a little book of backhanded compliments. So far we have only worked out some standard ones ( winning “most improved”, “You have completely exceeded my expectations.”, “Who did your makeup?”), and some fat jokes (“I have a lot of friends, but you outweigh them all.”)
What are some of your favorites?
Others…I like your hair, especially the color at the roots.
Those blackheads form the cutest pattern!
You’re smart to do your laundry on Saturday night, when everyone else is out.
You have the greatest untapped potential of anyone I’ve ever dated.
I like your shoes. They look really comfortable.
I’m so jealous you don’t have to wear a bra everyday.
It’s so refreshing to have a conversation with someone who doesn’t feel the need to prove they are smart.
That tasted better than it looked.
You look so nice today, I almost didn’t recognize you.
Great haircut! It really slims your face.
And my favorite: Yeah, but in four years, he’ll be just another college graduate looking for a job. You’ll be a Home Depot assistant manager with four years of work experience.
It’s good to know with all that is going on in the world today that we have not lost sight of what really matters. We are keeping our attentions on the small shit that drives us crazy and instead of getting all riled up over crimes that matter but are tough to solve. As always, our resources have been well allocated. I expect this will send a clear message to spammers everywhere and they will finally now just how serious this offense really is.

sometimes i truly do think i’m the shit. i mean, you can’t help when you’re completely surrounded by dumb people.

Join the movement, take a stand, turn off your lights from 8p to 9p on March 29th and make a difference.
For our purposes, let’s say that the center of the moral universe is in Room S-3800 of the UN Secretariat, Manhattan. From here, you are some five hours from being able to negotiate the sale, in broad daylight, of a healthy boy or girl. Your slave will come in any color you like, as Henry Ford said, as long as it’s black. Maximum age: fifteen. He or she can be used for anything. Sex or domestic labor are the most frequent uses, but it’s up to you.
Before you go, let’s be clear on what you are buying. A slave is a human being who is forced to work through fraud or threat of violence for no pay beyond subsistence. Agreed? Good. You may have thought you missed your chance to own a slave. Maybe you imagined that slavery died along with the 360,000 Union soldiers whose blood fertilized the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment. Perhaps you assumed that there was meaning behind the dozen international conventions banning the slave trade, or that the deaths of 30 million people in world wars had spread freedom across the globe.
But you’re in luck. By our mere definition, you are living at a time when there are more slaves than at any point in history. If -you’re going to buy one in five hours, however, you’ve really got to stop navel—gazing over things like law and the moral advance of humanity. Get a move on.
this is sort of mind blowing even if it is JUST science
I was just told I find it easy to express irritation with others. Watch out…
As in …
“My, my, my, my music hits me so hard
Makes me say oh my Lord
Thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet
Feels good when you know you’re down
A superdope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I’m known
as such
And this is a beat uh you can’t touch”
