Okay, guys, I love Community too, but having Clark/Lex out in the first round of AfterElton’s slash tournament seems to me to be letting our history down. Also, Damon/Alaric clearly ended up the sacrificial lamb there; I would rather they’d have put Damon/Alaric up against Damon/Stefan the way they did for SPN (Sam/Dean v. Dean/Cas), Avengers (Thor/Loki v. Cap/Tony), or even for Star Trek (TOS v. reboot), SG (SGA v. SG1), or House v. Sherlock.
Awesome older review of Steven Pinker's attempts to reduce art to evolution.

Nothing new under the sun: Evgeny Morozov on decrying new technology:
Long before bossy GPS technology invaded our cars, chiding us for wrong turns with a patronizing "Recalculating . . . ," cultural critics were already complaining about the debilitating effect of navigation technologies—even the paper-based and analogue variety. Some, like the Marxist philosopher Herbert Marcuse, saw road maps as the embodiment of the anti-humane and unthinking rationality of the modern condition. "A man who travels by automobile to a distant place chooses his route from the highway maps. . . . Others have done the thinking for him," he complained in 1941. Others thought that maps, signs and highway codes impoverish our sense of space, with the French theorist Henri Lefebvre lamenting that the driver "perceives only his route, which has been materialized, mechanized and technicized, and he sees it from one angle only—that of its functionality."( profane feminism, statistical ignorance, and LBJ becoming president )( profane feminism, statistical ignorance, and LBJ becoming president )

Remix Madness! I missed the main signup this year, but I will try to participate in this and my stories are up for remix.
Pro parenting tip: If your 4-year-old who is learning to ice skate asks you to assume a position that might end with a skate to your face, say no.
The more I read from Evgeny Morozov, the more I like him—though he might be hard to take on a daily basis.

And on DW a new icon. I love my My Little Spock so much.
I was just rewatching vids, because I do that, and I realized how differently Dealan’s Blinding and Hollywoodgrrl’s Boom Boom Pow treat the same Fringe clips, making them mean very different things, at least to me. I love how vidding can do that!
