Egyptian Activists' Action Plan: Translated →
Egyptian activists have been circulating a kind of primer to Friday’s planned protest. We were sent the plan by two separate sources and have decided to publish excerpts here, with translations into English. Over Twitter, we connected with a translator, who translated the document with exceptional speed. What follows are side-by-side translations of nine pages from the 26-page pamphlet. They...

Vegans respect all life (including humans) so I thought this was an important thing to keep in mind.

You’ve Been Psychologically Conditioned To Want a Diamond. The diamond engagement ring is a 63-year-old invention of N.W.Ayer advertising agency. The De Beers diamond cartel contracted N.W.Ayer to create a demand for what are,...

A composer named Pietro Mascagni once said “Modern music is as dangerous as cocaine”.
I was going to write this million paragraph rant about modern music and how it’s as ‘dangerous as cocaine’. In the end I found a better way to express my feelings and save an hour or two. Here it is:
LOL.

Why can't I smoke while I better myself?

I’m going through a beautiful evolution, a spiritual awakening if you will. This in itself says ‘fuck you’ to a lot of people who run this planet, and by planet, I mean this country. My re-binding of myself is a different story all together.
But, I would find this experience much more enjoyable with marijuana. SO! this is a much bigger FUCK YOU! to all the people who are keeping marijuana...

Both Zeitgeist and Alex Jones promote the idea that world events are controlled by a secretive banking cabal that is using debt to enslave us all. Zeitgeist echoes Alex Jones in warning that the United States is about to be merged with Canada and Mexico into a “North American Union” that will use a new currency, the “Amero.” “When the time is right,” Zeitgeist informs us, “the North American...

…I think my life is coming to a standstill. Mass Effect 2 just launched for PS3 and I can’t stop playing. It’s KOTOR on crack! If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to take the Normandy to the Faryar system in the Hourglass Nebula and kick some Collector ass before the Reapers realize I’m still alive. Good hunting.

Science is dangerous to corporate religion because it gives everyone the ability to reason, eliminating the existence of a ‘head.’
With universal reasoning, all are equal. None command authority over others, for authority is a redundant and corruptible human code, not a universal truth.
Anarchism is the revolutionary idea that no one is...
Fuck the Fade!
Bioware, why did you put this tedious and dreadful section of the Circle Tower into your game (Dragon Age: Origins)? It sucks and feels like i’m in a fucking videogame prison. We should have an option to skip this whole part. I’m done turning into a mouse to run into a hole just to get something and run back again. Or you have to turn into a spirit to enter a different kind of hole and...

like, I get it, the sixties were fucking cool. If it’s the wicked music you like about the sixties; make some. If you loved the clothes they wore back then; wear it. If you want a fucking revolution; START A FUCKING REVOLUTION.
