Like the first time ever I report something positive from the US.
While political leaders in Washington desperately try to convince Americans that the major threats to the country are gay people having weddings, Mexicans picking lettuce and the off chance that somebody might one day burn a U.S. flag, the American people seem to have [...]
Conservative WorldNetDaily has jumped on the World Cup trafficking story. I think we can all agree that we don’t like the situation. But the WND doesn’t stop there. No, they find another angle in the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM) condemning prostitution and noting that Germany shouldn’t “lecture America on morality.”
Well, Germany perhaps [...]
Taking nastygrams to an entirely new level. One can’t help but smirk at the letter that was sent to Boing Boing
I just opened a letter sent to Boing Boing from some fools at Baker & McKenzie LLP in London.
The letter states that their client, Infront Sports & Media, “anticipates the possibility of unauthorized streaming and [...]
Hot on the heels of the alleged US directed takedown of The Pirate Bay comes another interesting case of peculiar priorities and outright blackmail. New York Times:
So great is the official level of concern about AllofMP3 that American trade negotiators darkly warned that the Web site could jeopardize Russia’s long-sought entry into the World Trade [...]
On the topic of the language debate in the US. Priceless.
More generally speaking though, there is a broader story here. The language debate for starters is not limited to the US. We’ve had the same basic debate in Sweden and as language is an integral part of nationalist discourse and mythos, I’d reckon you can [...]
So, who is sinking who now, bitch? The Pirate Bay is back online, with a new cocky logotype (and name). The site is slow as hell and running out of database sockets fast though. Not surprising considering it is on the front page of every major internet news outlet and that it is operating on [...]
I guess it’s one of those “we think it’s a price worth paying” moments. So the US is effectively arguing that the UN shouldn’t be setting any targets and instead they inject their own tired old conditions for funding. What hypocrisy.
The Bush administration, heavily influence by the Christian right, is blocking key proposals for a [...]
In a Pentagon wet dream of a computer game. No wonder that they’re a subcontractor to the Pentagon then. Mercenaries 2: World in Flames plays out as “a power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela’s oil supply, sparking an invasion that turns the country into a war zone.” Will we be seeing every future U.S. operation on [...]
But most don’t know they have it.
More than one out of every three individuals in the United States have diabetes and another 26 percent have impaired fasting glucose, which increases the risk of developing diabetes, new study findings suggest.
