Influential internet thinker John Perry Barlow dies at 70

Barlow will be missed by many. In addition to co-writing most of the best classic “Weir songs” in the Grateful Dead’s catalog, his work with the #EFF is his real gift to us all…even though many of us are yet see how important that battle really is.
RIP, brother John. We will fight on because of you; your voice will never go silent. #RIPBarlow

Jeff Sessions to opioid users: “Sometimes you just need to take two Bufferin and go to bed”

Wow. The depths of the ignorance are fathomless. I truly hope someday soon that you’re in LOTS of pain (I do) and instead of giving you pain killers, they say “take two Bufferin”
ps…nobody takes Bufferin…or aspirin in general any more.
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, #USAG #JeffSessions is a uber moron.

The United States pretends it gives the vote to every citizen over the age of 18. It doesn’t

It’s a lie. Lots of people can’t vote for lots of reasons. Then add to it that many people who could vote don’t bother…it’s almost as if hardly anyone makes the decisions for the rest of us. No wonder things are so fucked up.
