NotesThis should be an interesting book. It starts with them burning a million pounds in an abandoned building, and marking the end of the band by pushing a car off a cliff. And apparently, this really happened.Unfurl
NotesHoly shit. Teen hides escaped rape victim kidnapped from the SAC at Central Michigan in his house, while the attacker rages outside and starts to set the place on fire. When the cops come, the attacker flees, rams a cop car with his SUV, then steals a sanitation truck and rams another cop. And at some point before police catch up with and shoot him, the rapist managed to post a Facebook update, "Well folks, Iâm about to get to get shot. Peace"FeedEmbedUnfurl

NotesSeriously? People really really believe that these animals feel no pain? Makes sense to me that an animal would have a pain response system to detect damage to its body, and that detecting damage would be an unpleasant sensation.Unfurl

NotesFrom pinboard.in/deusx: "If we want to achieve the values and goals that are core to the geek community, I donât think that weâll ever make a difference by creating more martyrs that can be used as examples in a cultural war.

NotesFrom pinboard.in/deusx: "If I had taken the stand as planned and had been asked by the prosecutor whether Aaronâs actions were âwrongâ, I would probably have replied that what Aaron did would better be described as âinconsiderateâ. In the same way it is inconsiderate to write a check at the supermarket while a dozen people queue up behind you or to check out every book at the library needed for a History 101 paper. It is inconsiderate to download lots of files on shared wifi or to spider Wikipedia too quickly, but none of these actions should lead to a young person being hounded for years and haunted by the possibility of a 35 year sentence."FeedEmbedUnfurl
