“Meanwhile, some young people say a cracked screen gives you a sort of street cred, like you’ve been through some real-life stuff, even if it happened on the mean streets of Bethesda. It’s tough, subversive and just kinda cool.”
Oh dear.
This article is really just not good.

Are you sneaking better?
Goddamned right I am. It’s not like I’m going to play tennis or train in them.

I use Yahoo logins on a regular basis for Flickr and several community listserves. I fail to see the problem.
Not for you and me who use our real names here…but for the (probably) millions who’d prefer anonymity. I think it’d hurt the community aspect badly.
In this circumstance, all you’d need to do is a create a new, anonymized Yahoo ID for the purposes of linking your Tumblr. This isn’t a One Name, One ID environment, and insinuating it might be does nothing but spread FUD. C’mon.

I wore my new sneakers today and I did not get them all dirty.
Folks, this never happens, so let’s just embrace it.
It’s gonna be okay though.
I spent three hours plus in the car today to go 40 miles.
When I should have been biking to work. Well, if I had an office. Instead of a bunch if clients and friends spread about throughout the metro area.
Today would look better on fire.

Flickr may appear a bit dated, but at least their engineering team knows how to keep the lights on.

“However, in the midst of these colorful distractions, there looms a far greater intrigue that President Obama has steadfastly ignored. The Onion speaks, of course, of the questions surrounding the Basilisk Project. For months now, the Obama administration has chosen to maintain silence on the matter, evidently relying on the complacency of the nation’s so-called journalistic authorities to allow its machinations to remain out of both sight and mind.”
Why aren’t we talking more about The Basilisk Project?!

Republicans love free enterprise, the entrepreneurial spirit — right up until they hate it.
Slate: From the state that brought you the nation’s first ban on climate science comes another legislative gem: a bill that would prohibit automakers from selling their cars in the state.
The proposal, which the Raleigh News & Observer reports was unanimously approved by the state’s Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday, would apply to all car manufacturers, but the intended target is clear. It’s aimed at Tesla, the only U.S. automaker whose business model relies on selling cars directly to consumers, rather than through a network of third-party dealerships.
The bill is being pushed by the North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association, a trade group representing the state’s franchised dealerships. Its sponsor is state Sen. Tom Apodaca, a Republican from Henderson, who has said the goal is to prevent unfair competition between manufacturers and dealers. What makes it “unfair competition” as opposed to plain-old “competition”—something Republicans are typically inclined to favor—is not entirely clear. After all, North Carolina doesn’t seem to have a problem with Apple selling its computers online or via its own Apple Stores.
Still, it’s easy to understand why some car dealers might feel a little threatened: Tesla’s Model S outsold the Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Audi A8 last quarter without any help from them. If its business model were to catch on, consumers might find that they don’t need the middle-men as much as they thought.
According to the report, “Apodaca received $8,000 in campaign contributions from the North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association last year, the maximum amount allowed by state law.” He has not responded to a request for comment.
Ironically, this sort of thing is almost exactly what Ayn Rand complained about in her novel Atlas Shrugged — a business group and the government were forcing an industrialist to share his process for producing a new alloy, using “unfair competition” as their reasoning. I suppose it hadn’t occurred to her that they could ban it for the same reason.
The GOP has taken to praising Rand in recent years — especially post-Tea Party. Like so much else Republicans say, that praise is obviously horseshit.
Free markets, amirite?
Can we just do away with dealers and buy direct? I cannot, cannot, cannot stand car dealers. They are the very, very worst part of American business.
