"With A Shout"

alexa:

Never thought I’d say this, but Microsoft just made my week.  Best. ad. ever. 

“What does it mean???”

“The federal government has posted signs along a major interstate highway in Arizona, more than 100 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, warning travelers the area is unsafe because of drug and alien smugglers, and a local sheriff says Mexican drug cartels now control some parts of the state.

The signs were posted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) along a 60-mile stretch of Interstate 8 between Casa Grande and Gila Bend, a major east-west corridor linking Tucson and Phoenix with San Diego.”

This is rather disturbing.

I hope this isn’t true but it probably is. Sad.

From my post over at The Future Well:

Did anyone ask us if we want the future?

How do we understand the sequelae of a generation that’s getting married at an average age of 28? If people are getting married later and having children later, then those children will have parents that die sooner. How will children whose parents die when they are teenagers deal with having no parents as twenty and thirty-somethings? Will this make their lives less happy? Even more so, what will come of their kids who grow up with no grandparents?

Great post Jay. These are very hard realities we’re going to have to deal with…all in the name of “PROGRESS.”

Sufjan Stevens — “I Walked”

yvynyl:

I’m posting this because earlier this evening I just about put a shotgun to my head after being at the gym and trying desperately to ignore the Lady fucking Gaga hitsong only to find myself humming the goddamn chorus in the shower… anything, even annoying 70’s TV jingles are better than that garbage. 

“We created this site for those of you that have a song stuck in your head and you can’t get it out no matter what you do. Using the latest techniques in reverse-auditory-melodic-unstickification technology, we’ve been able to allow our users to “unhear” songs by hearing equally catchy songs. So all we’re doing is making you forget your old song by replacing it with another one… sorry.”
