From this month’s Blender (yes, I get it, for free!), they talk about Roxanne Shante, hip hop pioneer. She’s out of the game now, making us all look like a bunch of lazy pricks. How? With a kid in tow at 25, she enrolled in college, kept going until she had a Masters and PhD in psychology, and when she wasn’t putting the pieces of our minds together, she financed the creation of a...

“1. Non-essential consumption is a root cause of the situation we find ourselves in today - the environment, the economy and popular culture are all affected by the drive towards consumer growth.
2. Consumerism doesn’t work - in that it’s supposed to make us happy. Not in any sustainable way. Shopping is like a drug - the instant high is fantastic, but it’s never enough.

You always whined about the romantic fate of “nice guys.” What you need to realize is that “nice” and “has a crippling fear of women” are two different things.

I thought I’d share this website: it’s a recipe search engine where you enter the ingredients that you have, and it tells you everything you can make with what you have. It also saves your list, and you can delete or add items as you go. Perfect if you’re not sure what to do with all that extra crap you have lying around. (I made a really gross tuna...

I can’t help but think that we now have the power to take a stand and stop terrorist activity from happening by affecting change through technology and social media. How can we do this together?
