Shorpy Historical Photo Archive | Vintage Fine Art Prints.
This is a guilty pleasure/time suck. It’s an archive of hi-q photos from the 1850s through the 1950s (more or less). Great fun to see these slices of life that don’t exist at all anymore.
Plus, you can buy loads of crap suitable for framing!

Anderson Cooper Shuts Down Critics On Twitter.
Don’t screw with Anderson. He’ll snark you to death — and look fabulous doing it!!
Again, something terrific started by Dan Savage. This is a blog thanking mostly straight people for helping to ensure marriage equality in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington in Election 2012. It’s a terrific scroll-through.

The first season is a series of approximately 2 minute eps. Longer, but fewer eps for the just being released season 2.
The writing is excellent. And the eye candy is first rate.
Watch it.
Rod Roddenberry: Redefining a Scout’s Honor.
Personally, I can’t wait for discrimination to become a non-issue. We’ve got so many important planetary issues to think about — over-fishing, our decaying environment, hunger, disease. Our intellectual evolution is vital to our ability to concentrate on these things.
Very nice piece from Roddenberry. Worth a read. Glad to see he has inherited some of his father’s sensibilities.
This is from the Huffington Post, BTW.
Cyberbullying: Scourge of the Internet [INFOGRAPHIC].
An excellent — and quite large — graphic that deserves some attention in the link above. From a Sam Laird column on Mashable.
