* Not for the squeamish: Dancing Boys of Afghanistan. (Before you get all holier-than-thou about certain religions and their proclivities, please remember that sex slaves are mostly found in wealthy, Western countries, and that, at any given time, 100,000 to 300,000 children are at risk of commercial sexual exploitation in the United States alone.) * [...]

I feel the need to dump links

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010 by Aabra

Dah Fridge As I’ve mentioned before, I clean my fridge obsessively, having a rotten food phobia (thanks, traumatic childhood!), so this isn’t a big deal to me, but I’ve heard [...]

* Why does the deficit keep shooting up? Is it foreign aid? No, that’s less than 1% of the budget. Education? Welfare? Arts funding? What could it be?? * Usual autocomplete nonsense… * I had a dream about stacking, mobile apartments. Why won’t the patent office accept my dream journal as proof?? Click for larger [...]
