“Spoiled, narcissistic layabouts”

( Hmmm... and geekness )

The Economist takes on the Net Generation. Moneyshot:

This culture clash has been going on in many organisations and has lately seeped into management books. The Net Geners have grown up with computers; they are brimming with self-confidence; and they have been encouraged to challenge received wisdom, to find their own solutions to problems and to [...]

Death to all Juice!

( Hmmm... )

But only the Zionist kind!
h/t: LGF!

So, about that metal Bikini…

( Hmmm... and Pervy and WTF? and geekness and silly )

So here I was, scrolling down on my homepage in my effort to take notes to the things I want to change (I am planning a re-design), when I stumbled upon that picture of Princess Leia in that Golden Bikini. Looking at that picture, I found myself wondering: So, why,exactly, was Leia dressed in a [...]

Quote of the Day

( Hmmm... )

Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.
Tom Robbins

Cultural trends: Brazenly gay music

Someone forwarded this to me, and it's a video clip by a gay pop singer called Adam Joseph, for a song he sings called-I kid you not- Faggotty Attention. This is a very interesting song, because it's a song detailing the arguments a gay guy would use to seduce a straight one. Which shows [...]

Sweet but kinda yucky

( Hmmm... )

 
The First Lesbian couple to get married in California. They are 84 and 87. 

Service resumed

( Hmmm... )

I know, it should've been resumed a week ago, but the annoying people at work are actually making me do work till late hours at night, so I basically never had any time to do anything but work and sleep and find some time to eat in the middle. The thing is, besides my regular [...]

Let’s all celebrate the Nakba

First of all, I would like to note that I have nothing but love and respect to Hossam at arabawy, despite our political ..ehh…..yeah, let's just call them differences. Sure the differences only seems to intensify after his trip to the US and his stay in Berkley, but that's his deal and his journey, [...]

Stolen from Craig’s list!

( Hmmm... )

I don't care what colour you are. I don't care where you're from. I
don't care what you do for a living. I don't care what class you are,
how you dress, what you smoke or drink or who you know or whom you've
fucked.
I hate you all. I hate every last living, breathing, snot and feces
producing, promiscuously [...]

Those Invisible hands

( Hmmm... )

" As I watched what was happening in Khartoum, and then what was happening in Beirut, I stopped and relaized that this fitna is not natural. That this all seems connected. That there are invisible hands behind the conflict in those two areas."
Amr Khaled, Islamic televangelist and current crusader against drug-use in order to combat [...]

Take one home for the kiddies

( Hmmm... )

On shallow straw, in shadeless glass,
Huddled by empty bowls, they sleep:
No dark, no dam, no earth, no grass -
Mam, get us one of them to keep.
Living toys are something novel,
But it soon wears off somehow.
Fetch the shoebox, fetch the shovel -
Mam, we're playing funerals now.
Philip Larkin

Losing Egypt

( Egypt and Hmmm... )

The Fruit of Hamas' Labor..

 
I agree that it changed things, but in the opposite direction. Hamas
probably gained the Syrians and Iranians but lost the Egyptians, who
are the more important, because it complicated their internal and
external calculations and subjected Egypt to an uncalculated danger.
To clarify my viewpoint, I will place it within the context of
comparison. The [...]

The Changing Tide

"It's like someone owns a house, and then his neighbours come with guns and try to take it over."
A Taxi Driver yesterday on the Gaza situation

"It's strange, everybody, besides the Islamists and the leftists, watching it had the same attitude, one of annoyance at the protesters and the Gaza situation. The general attitude was 'Those [...]

On the american economy crisis

( Hmmm... )

Some Scotch-fueled wisdom

At that point I took a time out from my internal rant and thought to
myself, what if I wanted to be a GP? Would I stick myself in this
losers hall and be just another GP who pressed the eject button and
landed safely with a golden parachute? (rant clearly continued) But
what if the fund [...]

Where our heads at

( Egypt and Hmmm... )

I would like to report, that in the Most popular posted Items on the Egypt network page on facebook, 5 out of the 10 items are videos of Lesbian Kisses. Nice..

Damn you Columbus

( Hmmm... )

You Syphilis carrier you..

Protect Sexworkers from Violence Day

( Hmmm... )

Yes, it's a real thing, and it was 10 days ago and its the 5th it is celebrated (is that the right word?) in Toronto. The Sexworkers rights activist behind it are accusing the Police for not caring about dead prostitutes and are blaming GTA-yes, the videogame- for encouraging the subculture of robbing and [...]

Happy Waqfah and Eid everyone

( Hmmm... )

I was gonna attempt translating the word waqfah, but Happy Erection day just didn't sound right.
Either way, hope everyone enjoys their ritual sacrifice tomorrow.Not a good time to be a sheep, I must say. May God accept your offerings and bless you and all this good stuff. 
I can't believe I will have to have sheep [...]

Sexy vs. Smart

( Hmmm... and Women and pop culture )

A leading Femenist sees a worrying trend in today's girls:

'The overwhelming lesson teenagers are now learning from the world
around them is that being "sexy" is the ultimate accolade, trumping
intelligence, character and all other accomplishments at every stage of
a woman's life,' said Liebau, a political analyst and the review's
first female managing editor. 'The new female [...]
