“You’re blowing it with Fox News. The axis today is not liberal and conservative,...”
– STEVE JOBS, to News Corp. owner Rupert Murdoch, as quoted by biographer Walter Isaacson. If Steve Jobs can’t convince Rupert of that, then no one can. (via Mediabistro) That’s a very interesting perspective on the dichotomy. Most of the stuff we argue against here is not that Conservatives are...

Hi, Tumblr.
barackobama: It’s nice to meet you. There are lots of reasons we’re excited to be launching the Obama 2012 campaign’s new Tumblr today. But mostly it’s because we’re looking at this as an opportunity to create something that’s not just ours, but yours, too. We’d like this Tumblr to be a huge collaborative storytelling effort—a place for people across the country to share what’s going on in our...

Earth
bearsandbears: “The planet has—or rather had—a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.” Douglas Adams,...

chocohamster: AE: If you could have a magic power, what would it be? GH: The power not to overthink everything and just be really alive. That’s actually a power. Maybe in addition to that, mind reading is very seductive. (Laughs.) I don’t really know if I’d want to be able to read minds. I might be able to enjoy making people think things and knowing what they’re thinking before they think it....

I always forget about National Novel Writing Month...
The goal is to write a novel-length manuscript in a month (the month of November, in particular). About 1,700 words a day. That doesn’t sound too bad, but actually writing every single day is really hard. I haven’t written fiction in a year, so that makes it even harder, but that also means it’s as good a time as ever to start! I REALLY need to be writing. I’m just going to...
