Okay, all Josh bloggins and such will happen here until further notice: http://deltalima.distrotalk.net/serendipity/. The further notice part will probably not happen until I bother to register my domain and get my own hosting.

In other news, I got a violin. I love it.

Wow. Those milk bagging bastards.
Michael Geist has this to say: “There is likely wide agreement that Canada must begin to grapple
with the Internet challenge of balancing free speech rights with rules
that outlaw certain forms of speech that have been judged harmful to
our multicultural society."
Let's
play "What's Wrong with this Picture?" to find out just what's going
on! Just what is a form of speech that has been "judged harmful to our
multicultural society?" Well, apparently any speech to incite violence
or advocate genocide is illegal. What a great way of stopping genocide
and other violence! I'm sure that anyone hoping to commit genocide is
going to be very concerned
about whether or not it's legal for him/her to be talking about it. And
any incite to violence is illegal? That conveniently makes even
planning any sort of revolution against the government illegal, just
one more step toward an enormous Orwellian state. What's that? Why would any good human being want to revolt against their government? Hmm...
But it doesn't stop there. Another supposedly free country is actually legally
requiring all ISPs "to implement a 'Cleanfeed'-style network level
content blocking platform." Yes, internet denizens in the UK are soon
all going to be receiving a watered-down version of the intarweb. Why?
For their own protection, of course! They can't be exposed to images of
child abuse, because that could cause them to beat their own children.
And a website glorifying that wonderfully ambiguous idea that is
terrorism? It would just be in the best interest of those poor,
simple-minded British to be protected from even being able to read such websites. And who better to determine this than mommy government?
What a great world in which we live!

Another interesting story.

Forgot to mention this video earlier. This is why I hate police. A lot.
