THE GAME IS CALLED CONSPIRACY

By VKlaus • Feb 2nd, 2010 • Category: Fiction

Hot: What follows is the account left by the long deceased(?) friend Maxwell Vandimntz you may know him as “MVZTruthseer1974”. Max was checked into a mental institute for his beliefs and persecuted for refusing to lie about the bizarre instance he experienced while investigating the mysterious HAARP system and its effect on weather. For those [...]



Words to Know: Anarchist’s Dictionary Edition #1

By Giania • Nov 5th, 2009 • Category: WTK

Hot: First up on this WTK is the opposite of wealth. That term is “illth” and was coined by John Ruskin as a way of giving simple voice to the concept of possessing damage, discontent, or general ill health (physically, economically, spiritually, etc). In Ruskin’s case, and in several applications, this is largely applicable to [...]



Words to Know: Brobdingnagian Edition

By Giania • Oct 7th, 2008 • Category: WTK

Hot: Ok so admittedly it isn’t going to be quite that big, but it does give me an opportunity to use the first WTK vocabulary term: brobdingnagian. This originates from the Jonathan Swift novel, Gulliver’s Travels. The term was coined as a reference to the city in which Gulliver visits where everything is just huge. [...]



Reality Politics

By fragmad • Oct 4th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Hot: This is a subject I have been thinking about for about six months now. If you’ve listened to me gibber, rant and rave about American politics in #ectomo (Efnet) then you’ll have heard this all before. But I think it’s a valid point to make and keep making. I’m not an American. I do [...]



Just when I thought we were taking steps forward…

By Guest Author • Sep 5th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Hot: Call this liberal horse hockey. Call this leftist ideology. Really, you can call it whatever you want, because I don’t give a flying shitcake. If what you get from this post goes anywhere near “anti-American” than you can feel confident that you have severely missed the point and there is a lonely noose in [...]



NH Media Makers Minutes 08-10-08

By Giania • Aug 10th, 2008 • Category: Guides

Hot: My awesome Lorem Ipsum shirt provided by TeeFury, makers of fine, rare designer tshirts. First off, it was great to see everybody again! I had missed the last two Media Makers events and kicked myself pretty hard both times. Thanks to my cat and the fact that I have a memory like a (rusted) [...]



Mo’ Betta Blogging: Miraculous Twitter Find

By Giania • Jan 29th, 2008 • Category: Recursion

Hot: Let it never be said that Twitter is a useless web app. Thanks to Twitter friend doshdosh, I’ve discovered an article which may assist me in refining my goals for this website, such as they are, and increase readership and hopefully feedback as well. The article on problogger.net is titled From 0 to 2000+ [...]



Abandonment Issues: USSR Style

By Giania • Jan 29th, 2008 • Category: Art, History, Politics

Hot: No, not the abandonment issues you the gentle readers feel when I neglect to update. Nor the abadonment issues my shoutcast listeners recently developed due to my foolish desire to pull the plug on that project. The abandonment in question is a series of really engrossing photos on buildings and areas in the former [...]



Revisionist History: Remembering American Religion

By Giania • Jan 7th, 2008 • Category: Articles of Interest, History, Philosophy, Politics

Hot: They overshot the number for maximum snarky humor by 222. The Daily Kos has provided a link to the list of committee members who will be dealing directly with this bill in their lengthy commentary. I have no idea why only the Democrats have outbound links. As with any law-related item, it is strongly [...]



The Death of the Luddities?

By Giania • Dec 13th, 2007 • Category: Memes

Hot: Jason Calcanis was recently quoted as saying “As Internet people we shoudn’t bother with people who don’t understand the Internet because they’ll be dead soon.” Oh Jason. How painfully untrue that is. If he knew half the young people I’ve met, and work with, he would be appalled at how undereducated young people are [...]
