Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen

My favorite poem.
Me too. Had a big affect on me in highschool. I've always thought Owen's life could make an amazing movie.

Why "Back to the Future" is Secretly Horrifying
Just showed this to my girlfriend and as soon as the first shot of the people came up she freaked out. Apparently the new guy Soren was the head of her improv troupe in college. She's facebooking up a storm now

It's been about a decade ago. Don't remember too much of the plot, but one image will remain in my brains for ever. Go watch it and see if you can guess which one. Yick
Was it where the bug was raping the boy?

Uncowny, especially that big cow-spider
John Pilger on Barack Obama and American Empire
yep. Heroes is an amazing book for anyone who is interested in 'real' journalism. I wish what he was saying wasn't so believable. I wonder if getting a black guy in the whitehouse may turn out to be a pyhrric victory
Let's Play San Francisco Rush
If anywhere has good rush, SF would be the place.
Is he playing that on a Sega Saturn emulator? I remember getting something that looked a lot like that trying to play Soul Calibur for the DC on my netbook
The Amazing Walk of the Dinosaur
Wow, awesome. By the sound of those accents I'd say it could do with a * Downunder

It's like a cat version of The World's Most Useless Machine
Angry declawed cats are the best. Ours was tearing up the wallpaper and my hands till we had her declawed. Now all she has is marshmallows of rage
Declawing is horrible cruelty. I think it should be made illegal. What's wrong with clipping the cat's nails every so often? Don't be lazy. It pretty much shows your lack of affection and concern for your animal.

No doubt it is. I had to watch her pad around on bloody bandaged paws for a fortnight. We did it as a last resort. Living as expats, not sure of how long we could keep an animal it didn't seem moral to get a kitten so we got a shelter cat. Turned out she'd been abused by her first owners fiance, and then spent several months locked up alone in a tiny box. By the time we got her it wouldn't have even been accurate to call her feral as a feral cat has survival skills and will often be quite friendly.
After a couple of months of her tearing up everything, and attacking us for petting, sitting near or just walking part her we asked the shelter guy for advice. He suggested dumping her out on the street, but at 3 years old already, and in a country where it's common to abuse and cut the tails of stay cats for kicks, it didn't seem fair. She was going to live as an apartment cat for the rest of her life, and if every interaction with humans resulted in her panicking and hurting them, making them freak out at her and reinforce her fears, then it was going to be a pretty miserable life.
I have lived with half a dozen cats that have lived since kittenhood in stable situations and never have for a second considered having their claws ripped out to make my life easier. This seemed, after exhausting plenty of other options, to be the best option.
Since we had it done, things have improved considerably for her. She spends most nights on the sofa snuggling with me or my girlfriend and sleeps in bed pretty much every night. She still has attacks of rage, but when she does now she isn't confronted by a yelling similarly pissed of human. If that's too much ambiguity for you then *shrug*
