Poof! You’re Unpublished. →
Xeni Jardin - one who advocates against scenarios from 1984, and also the first person to enact exactly what happened in 1984.
Luckily, I’m helping out with the better Boing Boing.

What's Foursquare?
It’s a matter of life and death to claim to be a mayor of a place in Foursquare.
Let me rephrase it: @foursquare is basically “territorial pissings digitized”. It’s vulgar, but it really feels this way when you’re ousted.

“No, sir, I do not believe [that an ‘atom smasher’ in any way...”
– Robert Wilson, the physicist who built Fermilab, the giant ‘atom smasher’ in Illinois. At a congressional hearing in 1969, he was grilled by Senator John Pastore, who wanted to know what an atom smasher was good for. He was asked whether it in any way contributed to the security of the...

Growing Up Gaga →
By Vanessa Grigoriadis for New York Magazine:
Lady Gaga is not exactly an artificially pretty lady, but she has the guts. The guts to finally bring what’s been in indie rock for a decade to the mainstream. And the heart for Andy Warhol.
Her music is still boring though.

WatchDepeche Mode “Hole To Feed” by Eric Wareheimer: (NSFC! Not Safe For Conservatives!)
Eric Wareheim, the movie genius behind Tim Eric Show, produced yet another stunning video, by taking Depeche Mode’s lyrics brutally literally.
By doing exactly not yet another cheesy music video that fans expected, yet describing the lyrics of the song in its grossest details, the video reflects...

“Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one.”
– Lyndon B Johnson.
Here you go, all the cynics of 2000’s.
The item is selling for $99.
Q: Hi, What is the lowest price possible including shipping to new york for this item? How long would the shipping take to New York? (if you are in Brooklyn, the shipping could be free?) Thank you.
A: The lowest price is $150. I'm selling it at a loss.
How fast do you use toilet paper? I don’t know if it’s normal for people around me tend to use half a roll a day. Do they all have diarrhea?

“What moral ground do we have for judging Google and the US as Good, and China as...”
– Google Would Remind My Grandpa of the Arrogant White Invaders by Brian Lam on Gizmodo: Hardly have I ever read another point of view on international issues on a largely American blog. Great job.
Indeed, Google’s craving of information in the name of human rights and freedom is like smoking...

WatchFallas 2010: La Cremà: A Burning Man for tourists who prefer to retain the audience-performer relationship (or how about consumer-capitalist relationship), don’t want to get their hands dirty, and just want to hold their camera up high and experience the whole visceral event through an unrepresentative LCD screen on their cameras.

Is it healthcare reform or health insurance reform? Why dump more money in drugs when pharmaceuticals will always charge the most they can?

Yay! Apocalypse delayed until year 4006! →
Dear Vatican, what a clever way to prolong the terrorizing effects of Apocalypse for another 2000 years.
Too bad, time travel will be invented by then to prove that it will not happen, and that the whole religion thing was real or just a huge scam.
If I were Da Vinci, I would be pissed by now. I made this whole painting to glorify the faith and unity between humans under a religion, not to...
Lovely how times had changed. Thom Yorke bashing China for Tibet was trendy, but now he’s not anymore for bashing Canada for global warming.
M Noodle Shop in Williamsburg, New York: Possibly the only Chinese food joint in the world that would play Foo Fighters. There, World Peace.
