Why You Can Still Celebrate Thanksgiving (Even If You Hate Colonialism)

I’m not sure if the person who wrote this article about feeling conflicted at Thanksgiving is First Nations (or Aboriginal/Indian/Native depending on who you’re talking to and/or what country – or part of the country – you’re in) but the person who posted it to Facebook definitely is which is part of the reason I […]

@ryanmeili Monday – Wikipedia Woes for #skndpldr Candidate Headshots

I’ve got a well-documented love/hate relationship with Wikipedia. As much as I love the idea of Wikipedia, I’m frequently disappointed by how it runs in practice.  The non-notability issues.  The deletionists.  The scammers (including, recently, a Wikipedia trustee who was discovered accepting payment via his consulting company for ensuring placement of certain articles on the […]

Friday Fun Link – 5-Star Wrestling Matches

I’m tempting to use the “Xmas” tag on this one. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer newsletter is like the Roger Ebert of reviewing wrestling matches.  This Reddit thread contains links to almost all of the matches Meltzer has given the highly coveted and very rare 5 Star rating.  Quite a trip down memory lane […]

Knock Knock. Who’s There? Rape? Rape Who? Rape Jokes – Are They Funny?

About a month ago, there was a minor uproar online after a female patron at a comedy show posted of an extremely unsettling experience her and her friend had on a Tumblr blog. The two women decided to go to a show featuring well-known comic Dane Cook (who they’d heard of) with Daniel Tosh (who […]

"You Can't Handle The Truth" – Media Bans in the Digital Age

Everybody's probably familiar with the sad story of Tori Stafford, the young girl from Woodstock, Ontario who was abducted and killed last year.  Recently, some new detail has apparently come to light but the judge has imposed a publication ban meaning no Canadian media can cover this aspect of the trial.  The traditional media aren't […]

Friday Fun Link – 4% of Librarians Are Virgins But 7% Have Had More Than 20 Sexual Partners In Their Lives (April 23, 2010)

Recently, a 1992 study of sex and libraries was published online having originally been published without much initial fanfare but then quickly leading to the firing of the columnist who published it.   Lots of interesting tidbits.  I thought about listing what my answers would be but nobody needs to know which Shakespeare play my first […]
