From the article: "A construction company has essentially destroyed one of Belize's largest Mayan pyramids with backhoes and bulldozers to extract crushed rock for a road-building project, authorities announced on Monday. The head of the Belize Institute of Archaeology, Jaime Awe, said the destruction at the Nohmul complex in northern Belize was detected late last week. The ceremonial center dates back at least 2,300 years and is the most important site in northern Belize, near the border with Mexico." - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from Bookmarklet

http://t.co/Pl71KzWTOr I got 4 of 5 in the correct continents (3 of those in the correct countries) on my first try. None were in the US. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet

very interesting... guessed 2 within the same county but I also had a few that I was not so lucky with. - Harold

"That CNN's news coverage has been nothing but comedy-(and cringe-)worthy for the past several years, should not be news to anyone by now: perhaps there is no better testament to a society in which a network that breaks news based on fake twitter rumors is still held in high regard. However, in the spirit of reverse psychology memes, does the fact that Jon Stewart is now constantly poking fun at CNN's "news-slaughter", mean that it may be, paradoxically, time to start taking CNN - "the most busted name in news" seriously again? (... that's obviously rhetorical). When CNN reports via satellite uplink from the same parking lot, funny things happen." - Harold from Bookmarklet

The blue on blue, the shading on his face -- Kamilah, this is superb. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Thanks, Stephen - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

They're mostly very young. - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!

I was going to say what Bill said. And just.... sigh. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

I was just there today! - Starmama from Android

Cool :) Sounds like a fun place. I just learned about its existence today through a tweet from someone I follow on Twitter. This sketch is based on their Instagram photo. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Just saw it. 48 fps is amazing (does take a while to get used to). I think the film is a monumental step forward. For the 34% of critics who didn't like it, I honestly don't understand why. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from Bookmarklet

I'm surprised that the Rotten Tomatoes percentage was so low. My expectations were lowered by the reviews complaining about how slow The Hobbit was. I went to see it because Harold wanted to see it. It turned out to be much more enjoyable for me than the LotR trilogy. The plot was easier to follow and made more sense to a non-fan like me. And the visuals were amazing. It was a little bit slow and too drawn out, but the great production values made up for that. (I read The Hobbit as a kid, not LotR.) - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

"39 songs. Colorful glowing lights. It’s a dance party and the whole world’s invited. 7 continents light up in glowing patterns and colors. Push any continent to hear authentic music of its culture. Roll with it. Babies and toddlers love to chase the world around. Older children learn to recognize continents and their music styles." It can also be used as a nightlight. I think it's brilliant. The music sounds great on it. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet

cool - SteVe C

I love morels. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

That was my first time trying any. They were pretty good. I'll have to try them again in another form. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

"“CVS BANGERS IS THE AUDIOSCAPE FOR WHEN YOU’RE BUYING TAMPONS OR A 12 PACK OF CONDOMS, A SAMPLING OF THOSE MAGIC TUNES THAT PLAY WHEN YOU’RE CONTEMPLATING HOW RIDICULOUS YOU WOULD LOOK CARRYING 24 ROLLS OF TIOLET PAPER ON THE TRAIN, THOSE BITTERSWEET TUNES OF YESTERYEAR THAT SKIP THROUGH YOUR MIND AS YOU READ THE NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE BACK OF A BOX OF FROZEN PIZZA AND OPT FOR A PINT OF ICE CREAM INSTEAD, THOSE SPECIAL DITTIES THAT ACCOMPANY YOUR SMASHING THE BAR CODE OF A CAN OF RED BULL AGAINST THE SCANNER OF BROKEN SELF-CHECKOUT MACHINE.

e.g. ... “I Wanna Know What Love Is,” Foreigner, “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone,” Paula Cole, “It Must Have Been Love,” Roxette, “These Dreams,” Heart. Yeah, that kind of stuff. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Bask in the glow of the florescence - Eric - seven eleven

"“Everything about being indie is tied to not being black,” says Micah (Wyatt Cenac), half of the accidental kind-of couple whose one-day romance is chronicled in “Medicine for Melancholy.” He is making an observation — and also registering a complaint — about the quasi-bohemian way of life he shares with Jo’ (Tracey Heggins), his temporary other half. It bothers Micah that their embrace of the folkways of urban hipsterism seems to require the suppression of their African-American identity." - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet

"But his words, which Jo’ doesn’t quite agree with, also suggest a degree of self-awareness, and self-questioning, on the part of Barry Jenkins, who wrote and directed this small, incisive film. Most recent movies about culturally savvy, affectless 20-somethings hooking up and being cool are very much tied to not being black. They are about diffident, underemployed white boys and the women who (sometimes inexplicably) go to bed with them." - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

It seems about time for "hipsterism" to morph into something else, anyway. I wonder what that might be. I had my brief fling with the Indianapolis hipster scene (the little bit that there is) and was disenchanted by how shallow a lot of the people turned out to be. (I know that any group of people can be shallow, just the shallow hipsters seemed to be kind of cruel about it, like they really don't care about someone fairly plain like me.) Hipsters are just good at finding the better art sometimes. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

He's so cute and catching him in your drawings only adds to that - SteVe C

Thanks :) - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Spain (represented by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona chair, which I drew on a small blank greeting card) encounters the Incas (represented by two cans of Inca Kola). I drank the Inca Kola after I finished the painting. It has a golden yellow color and it tastes sort of like bubble gum. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet

"Official YouTube Channel for Tim Minchin. Pianist, singer, songwriter, actor, comedian and wannabe rockstar." - Harold from Bookmarklet

<3 - Maitani

We just discovered Minchin today thanks to a New Yorker article I read. We had actually heard his "Storm" poem in an animated video about a couple of years ago, but I didn't make the connection until "Storm" was mentioned at the very end of the article. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Uh-oh. Hrmmm.... I love them both, but competition is healthier.... - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet

We don't even have Bilck or Utrecht in Indianapolis, and our best independent art supply store, Bates, just closed down last year. I say I love them because I've found useful things in them when I visit other *real* cities that sustain proper large art supply stores, like Seattle, Chicago or NYC. Either chain is vastly preferable to Michaels' or Hobby Lobby's garbage, which is all we have here, apart from a couple of indie stores. I go to Prizm, which might close, too, in a few years. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

I think he might have forseen the birth of Barbra Streisand :-) - Shannon - GlassMistress

Cancel the previous post, then. But it's probably just a matter of time. I know, we all keep saying that, we probably said it was all over like 2 years ago, but I really feel like the end of FF is near... - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

The slow death of Friendfeed, once again. *Big Sigh* - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

I was kind of taking a break with this painting. My brain has been a little fried, I can barely find time to sit and concentrate. So I went for a simpler subject this time. Just an owl and a moon and some plants. Yeah, I just put a bird on it. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet

There is a certain amount of Van Gogh-ness about it. :-) - April Russo

The reporting in the newspaper I read stated pretty directly that these new laws were intended, clearly intended, as challenges to Roe v. Wade--hoping that the current court would overturn it by upholding absurdly repressive laws. - Walt Crawford
