I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Sheep appear in about 10 different places. Seems legit.

I think it says "1957" in the left and side box under FESTIVAL OF BRITAIN?

I reported someone's post on twitter at some point for saying something racist (I can't recall what). Today twitter let me know that they had taken action against him for violent/adult material in his profile photo. He screenshotted his notification of temp-ban till he changed profile photo, so I can see twitter blocked him because he'd had a penis showing in his profile.

So much for caring about racism. :(

Social media seem a lot faster at banning naked skin etc. than it is at taking steps against other infractions.

Easier to create an algorithm for genital pics than racist context, I imagine.

I'm pretty sure the racism I reported was pretty egregious and that's what made me take step of reporting.

Very odd to then be told they resolved the matter for an unrelated cause.

Twitter cares a lot about racism. It drives 50% of their traffic.

Some asshole keeps breaking into my car.  This is the third time in two months! Fortunately, I have nothing worth stealing.  The burglar seems to have understood this too because he left me a note chiding me for wasting his time.

Nice little movie made about this case back in the 1980s.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
