Lots of myths out there.

I used the Gen Y label before Millennial started becoming a thing.

Looks like this is the new normal with our interminable election season.

I kinda want to ride one somewhere, though it's pretty obvious why they're mostly banned or out of favor.

Huh! I had no idea this was a component of the early modern Olympic Games.

Ad block for your city blocks.

Fascinating overview, with some good human perspective on how we relate to one another and current robot prototypes.

Good points, especially on privacy, experience, and communication.

Neat concept, weird ending. The visuals seemed appropriately obnoxious.

Kind of a stretch to tie the privilege of being able to get rid of things to the refugee crisis, but an interesting point about the privilege of being able to replace items trivially.

"The conflation of medium and genre, which itself grows out of the conflation between comics and superheroes, is deeply ingrained in popular cultural criticism of comics." Yup! Lazy stereotyping again.

Homogeneity is a false promise of easy marketing.

The amphitheater was to me the most spiritual space on campus.

Kind of a side story to climate change affecting humans, but still sad that we're causing the destruction of our own history.

Important symbolism, but without action I don't see us reducing our arsenal any time soon.

Yup. No "both sides tho" here.

Even though what Google did was sketchy, this is the right result. APIs shouldn't be copyrightable in the same way as other software content.

Hahahaha

I oppose this decision by the DoJ.

This was the core inspiration for the space-saving trick.

Some definite shenanigans here.

I'm a little surprised it's not a form more easily digitized, but I guess that would defeat the purpose.

Holy crap those performance numbers are abysmal. Throw in the racial component, and no one should be using this software.

I think this kinda implies that liberal Christians went away and are now coming back.

I am on board with a Federation style globalism. I don't know if Democrats will be the party that brings that about though.

I think what Marco misses here is what limited predictive modeling you can do on device.

I think this is very close to capturing why I'll be happy to support Clinton in the general election, and why I doubt many of my reservations about her as a politician and a candidate. "Clinton believes that you need to be in the system in order to change the system."

A personal take on the fear of what Trump's candidacy has unleashed in the American psyche.

Some good broad points on mob rule. I still don't think Trump's constituency is large enough.

Still seems hyperbolic, but hot damn does Clinton need to win. A bit I liked: "Trump’s lies arrive with such rapidity that before one can be refuted a new one comes to take its place."
