Mikhail Kalashnikov, famed inventor of the AK-47 rifle is dead. We don’t yet have word on cause of death, except to say that it was of natural causes at the age of 94. The Kalashnikov is world’s most famous assault rifle. The AK came from the Russian word “avtomat” which meant automatic rifle, followed by…...
Laughable. That’s the single word that came to my mind as I read an article in the Atlantic titled “Google, Apple, and Microsoft Agree: NSA Spying Undermines Freedom”. Now, from their title, it sounds as if these companies were standing up for you, the user of their products and services. What actually transpired though, was…...
I’m banned from posting to facebook for the next 12 hours, because I decided to discuss the meaning of the word faggot. As you’ll see in the screenshot below, the word “faggot” had nothing to do with gay people when I was growing up. I didn’t even know what homosexuality was the first time I…...
Facebook announced on its blog today, that they would be “doing a better job of distinguishing between a high quality article on a website versus a meme photo hosted somewhere other than Facebook”.

I’m an admin on the Statism is Slavery Facebook page. Today I was met with a warning, which I was certain pertained to my “What happens when you confront internet tough guys” post. It turned out to be something completely unrelated, someone posted the following image to the Statism is Slavery page, and Facebook removed…...
Last night was a lot of fun, if a bit ridiculous… The story starts innocently enough, with a joke. I received a Facebook friend request from a couple. Yes, that’s one facebook friend request, for two people. A joint profile by the name of “TaraBobby PangPang”. Now, I just think that’s a tad silly. They…...
Don’t panic, it’s not contagious, but Facebook is terminally ill. Soon, Tom and Mark will be on bunk beds, in a one bedroom apartment, wondering how it all went wrong. That’s a bit exaggerated perhaps, Tom (Your first MySpace friend) is a multimillionaire, and we can expect Zuckerberg will never want for anything as long…...
Every once in awhile, somebody decides they want to kick me out of the “liberty movement”. The concept is hysterical in and of itself, of course. There is no “liberty movement”, and the people who use the term the most, are generally those who understand liberty the least. To the extent a number of individuals…...
Facebook has had a “real name policy” for quite some time now, but it has remained largely unenforced. Recently, a long list of people with the words “Liberty” or “Voluntaryist” in their names, have been threatened or banned by facebook moderators. I spoke to two of them today, and got some screen shots of their…...
