CISPA passed at 248 to 168. Well at least we’ve still got the senate and Obama. Hopefully one of them will stop it. I don’t have the proper words to express my frustrations. This picture will have to do for now.

So here are two anti-CISPA form letter/information things https://action.eff.org/o/9042/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=8444 and http://act2.freepress.net/sign/cispa/?source=facebookconfirm1

Sometimes I feel like people in Congress sit around together and try and figure out how to make the world a worse place.

EDIT: Here’s the ACLU’s take (and some resources) http://www.aclu.org/cybersecurity-0

Travel Posters for Lazy People by H. Caldwell Turner

i can haz science?

Actually this article seems pretty interesting. Its trying to explain why cats have become so popular on the internet.

p.s. Sorry if this shouldn’t be considered sociology. I thought it would be but I’m not a sociology major or anything like that.

To my followers: EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU NEEDS TO READ THIS ARTICLE. Then you should call/email/send carrier pigeon to your congress person. This is serious stuff. If this passes the Internet would become significantly worse.

p.s. I would expect Tumblr to die near instantaneously if it passed. So if for no other reason than your love/use of Tumblr contact your congress persons ASAP.

p.p.s. Spread the word.
