Attention, World:
A 4-day, 45 text message “conversation” to avoid a 3-minute phone call is a pointlessly stupid waste of time which I will not be taking part in during 2012 or beyond. Please go back to watching kittens being tickled by badgers or whatever else the Kardash-holes are up to now.

90% of American Media Is Owned by 6 Companies.
occupyallstreets:
In the early 1980s ninety percent of American media was owned by 50 companies. Today, in 2011, that same ninety percent of broadcast influence is owned by just six companies.
In other words, 232 media executives more or less control “the information diet of 277 million Americans,” according to the graphic.

Mayor Bloomberg’s Army →
theartofslack:
Billionaire New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has his own army! No, it’s not a private security firm, like Blackwater. It’s actually, according to the mayor, the New York City Police Department.
Bloomberg, again threatening vaguely to make that presidential run that the American people are decidedly not calling for, told MIT (recently) that he doesn’t even need to be...

Neil Gaiman’s Chilling Christmas Card Story as a Pop-Up Book
By Laura Hudson
In 1989, comics author and novelist Neil Gaiman sent a Christmas card to friends and family that included a very dark take on the story of Santa titled “Nicholas Was…” In the years since it has not only become something of an expensive collector’s item, but also inspiration for fan-made works,...

stfuconservatives:
Worth noting that this is really just the fucking House. The Senate approved the 2-month extension (so we can handle it without our backs up against the holiday recess) with a vote of 89-10 and majority Republican support.
So yes, House Republicans and really just House Republicans are voting to raise your taxes come next week.

wilwheaton:
The Republican Governors Association met this week in Florida to give GOP state executives a chance to rejuvenate, strategize and team-build. But during a plenary session on Wednesday, one question kept coming up: How can Republicans do a better job of talking about Occupy Wall Street?
“I’m so scared of this anti-Wall Street effort. I’m frightened to death,” said Frank Luntz, a...
APE IN A CAPE: Why Chick-Fil-A Sucks →
gailsimone:
Screw these people.
Chick-Fil-A is run by a group that says they will serve food to lgbtq couples, but that they do not ‘accept same sex’ unions. Far more damaging is that they routinely support anti-marriage equality groups with dollars and enthusiastic backing.
