Quick post. This is the greatest headline I’ve ever seen:
Tired Gay succumbs to Dix in 200 meters
You can go ahead and just ignore the “in 200 meters” part. Is that not the greatest thing you’ve ever seen?
The people running Wikileaks have some serious balls. This morning, they leaked a classified US military video of 12 civilians being murdered in New Baghdad – 2 of whom were Reuters journalists.
Obviously, the video isn’t for the faint of heart. You can see it here, though I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t online for very longer.
This is important stuff, and I think it’s great that it is all very well documented, so that when the guys running Wikileaks disappear, we’ll know why.
I hate to encourage sensationalized news articles that appeal to the lowest common denominator… But I’m about to do exactly that: Language teachers Alini Brito, Cindy Mauro caught by janitor having naked romp in HS classroom.
While we’re on news… What the hell is this? More good pictures and video of this mystery light display here.
…Somewhat related – What would the Earth look like if it had rings, like Saturn? This video is pretty cool.
The Golden Age of Video – This is pretty awesome. It’s like Girl Talk, but for movies and television.
I’d love to keep going here, but I’m gonna spend the rest of my day playing 1D tetris.
Unfortunately I’m pretty desensitized, so a story like this one, while tragic, doesn’t phase me nearly as much as it should. I don’t even watch the news for this reason… It’s so sensationalized and plays off of people’s fears, and it’s all so negative. Anyway, to summarize, this guy walked into an LA Fitness (my old gym, though obviously a different location) and started firing off rounds. He killed 3 women, and police believe he then turned the gun on himself. Like I said, it’s a terrible story, but I’d be wrong if I said this type of incident was unheard of.
It gets a lot weirder. Check out the guys blog here. It looks as though he’s been planning this since sometime in late 2008 (maybe even earlier). His motivation was the lack of attention he gets from girls… He seems to feel that because he hasn’t had sex in so long, that the world is a cold, cruel place… “30 million women rejected me – over an 18 or 25-year period.” Anyway, check it out for yourself. I’m still in the process of reading it, but this is pretty crazy.
Update: I anticipated the blog being taken offline, either due to bandwidth, or the nature of the content. Either way, I mirrored it… You can view it here if the original URL doesn’t load for you.
Every time someone sends me an article at work, I lower the standards which I hold those around me to.
This lady essentially fed her baby feces in order to keep the baby sick, so she could blog about her sick child and gain the attention (read: pity) of the (presumably) miniscule slice of internet traffic that ended up on her mom blog.
I don’t even really know what to say about that. At least she wasn’t feeding the kid crunchberries.
