'Vampire' skeletons found in Bulgaria →
robotindisguise: Dating back 800 years to the Middle Ages, the skeletons were unearthed with iron rods pierced through their chests — evidence of an exorcism against a vampire. The ritual was aimed at preventing potentially dangerous people, such as enemies, murderers, or individuals who died suddenly from a strange illness, from turning into vampires after death. Vampires of the time were...

How I found out Whitney died
[I haven't looked at a computer all afternoon and am arriving at a party at 10 pm. Dan is standing outside the building having a cigarette. I am trying to find the doorbell.]
Dan: RIP Whitney.
Me [having not heard him]: What?
Dan: RIP Whitney.
Me [I'm deaf]: I'm sorry, what?
Dan: I said RIP--
Me: Oh, did it get cancelled?
Dan: No, Whitney Houston's dead.
Me: What?
Dan: WHITNEY HOUSTO--
Me: No, I heard you, just... what? Like, conceptually. Are you kidding?
Dan: No she died.
Me [still scanning the wall for the right doorbell]: And you're being honest? She's dead right now. Are we having a life moment? Is this how I find out Whitney Houston died?
Dan: Yeah, I guess.
[I get buzzed in.]
Me: Okay, I'll see you inside.

A new global treaty could allow corporations to police what we do on the Internet. Last week we successfully pushed back the US censorship bills — if we act now, we can get the EU Parliament to bury this new threat — add your voice now!

fewdull: “Just as prohibition of alcohol failed in the United States in the 1920s, the war on drugs has failed globally. Over the past 50 years, more than $1 trillion has been spent fighting this battle, and all we have to show for it is increased drug use, overflowing jails, billions of pounds and dollars of taxpayers’ money wasted, and thriving crime syndicates.”

The Attorney-General’s kind remarks are noted and appreciated. I’ve spoken to Ed Burns and we are prepared to go to work on season six of The Wire if the Department of Justice is equally ready to reconsider and address its continuing prosecution of our misguided, destructive and dehumanising drug prohibition.
