Do not indulge in dreams of having what you lack, but reckon up the blessings you do possess. Then reflect with gratitude how you would crave them if they were not yours.

Anonymous And The War Over The Internet

“You’ve heard Anons say before that this is a war,” he said. “A full scale information war. That’s not mere propaganda, many regard that as a perfectly accurate description. And the stake at play is, simply, ‘Who will control access to information? Everyone or a small subset?’”

In case it wasn’t clear, he then labeled that subset: “The government.”

What’s amazing about this is not the increase, but how resilient the Internet is and how well it adapts.

How Thick Is Your Bubble?

In case you haven’t seen it, here is a quiz that goes along with Charles Murray’s new book, Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010. His thesis is that the elite that influences the course of the country is out of touch with the mainstream middle class more than ever given that they live in coastal Arugula-lined bubbles. (The obvious question is: So what? I guess I’ll have to read the book to see if he sheds light on that.)

The quiz purports to tell you how elite or not you are by asking questions about NASCAR and what beer you drink. I scored a 4 out of 20, which means my bubble is pretty thick. How about taking the quiz and reblogging this with your score?

What Europe’s ‘Right to Be Forgotten’ Has in Common with SOPA

Me at TIME.com: “In George Orwell’s 1984, the Ministry of Truth employs a “memory hole” to eliminate inconvenient facts. If a previously published photo or record later proves to be embarrassing for the government, it is thrown down the hole. The facts are erased from the face of the earth and the world is led to believe that something that happened never actually happened. The European Commission last week sought to give citizens their own personal memory holes.”
