Friday Fun Link – The Outdoor Coed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society

You know you’re old and married when you’re more interested in what books they’re reading than the other “boo” word that’s being featured in these photos!  đŸ˜‰

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 […]
