Get on facebook: Everyone is praising that father who shot his daughter’s laptop.
I’m probably going to get shit from people but I posted: This video about the father shooting the daughter’s laptop makes me incredibly uncomfortable, but not nearly as uncomfortable as the number of people missing the fact that it’s abusive. “Hey I have a gun and will use it to...

I clicked 'like' because...
I know that feel, bro.
I hate the same thing!
I’m really excited for you.
That sounds awful, and clicking the heart is like sending a virtual hug.
Solid commentary, shitty post.
I’m sending you support through this html heart.
I hope you feel better.
Ooh! Cats!

I hope the person who wrote the note reads this paper and feels so ashamed. They ought to.

Finally writing that damn letter to the editor.
Thank you, slow day at the Tech Desk, for allowing me to yell at the entire student body through a letter to the editor.

In case you were interested: Starbucks vs Dunkin...
So, if you’re looking for caffeine content, Starbucks wins. For those of you that thinks Starbucks is bitter and gross compared to DD, it’s because there’s about 2x as much caffeine (in mg) per cup.

I have already learned two things today:
If you need caffeine, Starbucks wins over Dunkin Donuts any day.
Taking screen caps on Windows is much more difficult than it is on a Mac. On a Mac, it’s apple-shift-3 to get the whole screen and apple-shift-4 to cap whatever you want. Wherever, whenever. On Windows, you have to open up a separate program to take a shot of what you want, or you have to print the screen and edit it in paint...

Breaking News: Dan Savage is a Giant Tool
When he spoke at UNC recently, he advised people to isolate those who are experiencing relationship violence. Because apparently, if you tell them “If you stay in this abusive relationship, I’m never talking to you again!” that will REALLY make them want to leave and definitely won’t cause the victim to feel even...
Interesting tidbit

Roland martin is on suspension because Black queer twitter jumped on his ass and the GLAAD pressure
Dana loesch who said she would have joined the marines in peeing on dead afghanis got no penalty
Seems to me CNN has a standards issue and our concern for those brown folks overseas needs some work.

Dear Slutss: A slut-shaming blog if I ever saw... →
oh my god i cannot even.
Q: “Is this a slut-shaming blog?”
A: “NO. We consider a slut shaming blog to be a blog that actually has names of sluts, and we haven’t used any names in any of our posts.”
A: YES.
There. I fixed it.
