Mr Karp, are you willing to answer a few things? 1) what do you think of SOPA and other related attempts to censor? 2) what do you think of Google’s new policy to censor their blogger accounts? 3) will Tumblr ever be censored? and 4) do bloggers own their own content on Tumblr?


Something I asked David Karp tonight on Tumblr. Hoping for a response…..


*As long as there is no censorship, I could care less about downtime…………

I guess it is a shark eat shark world.


NO really.. IT’S A SHARK EAT SHARK WORLD

The struggle in the Catholic Church: The "Monsignors' Mutiny" now revealed

The struggle inside the Holy See may even have a longer-term effect, on the choice of the man to succeed Benedict when he dies…


And if it’s Peter the Roman, I’ll conclude that the Prophecy of the Popes is right and the world is quickly coming to an end……….. really.

At first I was surprised today at how many people I know or work without didn't know the real meaning of Valentine's Day

…and then I discovered just how many meanings there were. I learned something myself..


Roman gods of fertility..


Ancient Pagan Festival of Lupercus..


…saints…


….little lovely signs of love..


Lots.


And then I realized why it was so easy for corporations, Hallmark, and chocolate companies to take over the holiday and do what they do best: Profit off of it.


I used to work in the restaurant industry (and still miss it.) Therefore I can only predict diners and dives across America are filled tonight.. bad chicken and tough steak … being served as we speak. Lovers out to eat.. balloons.. kisses.. and sour stomachs to follow.


Yes, indeed. Tonight is the  night of love.


As for my wife and I? We took a more simple approach.. I gave Tara a balloon, a card, and a cheese steak. She gave me Cadbury Mini Eggs and David’s Jumbo Sunflower Seeds. And Ayden gave her an Elmo picture. A simple, kind, nice.. and meaningful Valentine’s Day 2012. Whatever Valentine’s Day means anyway..

The earth still moaning..

Strange booms startle Salem, Ohio..


Strange sounds.. and lights.. over Peoria..


Rumbling in Washington state..


Strange sounds in the sky: Oregon..


Weird noises: Arizona..

A French court has found Monsanto guilty of chemical poisoning

An amazing story from France, where a court found Monsanto guilty of chemical poisoning.. 


French farmer Paul Francois says he suffered neurological problems after inhaling Monsanto’s Lasso weedkiller.. 


The court agreed.. It’s a truly dramatic story, and this could lead to more lawsuits and victories by farmers against the GMO world of Monsanto.. 


And the story is so big, I have found almost NO STORIES IN THE AMERICAN MEDIA ABOUT THIS.


Maybe they are just letting it sink in before it gets reported… right?

The Santorum surge reaching its climax

Not predicted, not expected, but occurring: Rick Santorum is bursting into the lead in many places and surging ahead of Romney in polls. A shocker.. ? They  will know he is Christian by his love..

The FBI says: Extremists believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard

So knowing some facts can put you in Gitmo?

Adele swept the Grammys .. Someone like her deserved it

Definitely in mourning. But I think the scepter is a clear diss on Madonna. Seems like she's saying "I'm the Queen of Pop"

Good point .. A silent missile thrown back .. I agree

You are what you eat.. which is why a company may have chosen to stop eating what they are patenting..?

Hungry for GMO food? While you’re probably not but eat it unknowingly everyday anyway, consider this: Monsanto doesn’t allow genetically modified foods in its corporate cafeterias.. Greenpeace has the full exposé.. 

Monsanto believes in choice.. As long as the choice is fresh and GMO free. They clearly know that they are what they eat .. 

This one tore at my heart.. a woman was induced into labor because she wanted her dying husband to hold her hand while she was in labor..


Hooked up to an oxygen mask at the hospital, the man she would call dad cradled her in his arms for 45 minutes



And .. these are the articles and stories from this insane world that make my ears and eyes perk up .. think .. tear up.. and wonder why in the hell we are even here to endure this physical misery in the first place.. ? It’s an amazing story, and beautiful, too.. but by God life sometimes just seems unfair..
