"V" Understands Humanity All Too Well - V - io9 - http://io9.com/5402457...
Jason Toney and The Bohemian Penguin liked this
"In last night's promisingly paranoid episode of V, we learned more about the alien resistance movement - as well as what V leader Anna thinks of humanity. In this terrifically creepy scene, the slick, beautiful Anna makes it obvious how she plans to exploit humanity. By playing to our natural desire to submit. Oh, and also by torturing humans using mind control, which we catch a brief glimpse of when a human prisoner of the V is made to see snakes writhing all over his body. What Anna doesn't bargain on is that humans also have a ferociously strong desire to resist submission - and it turns out that desire is catching, since some of the V agents on Earth have gone race traitor and joined the human resistance."

"Chad the TV anchor also gave us a look at the darker side of the V, who call him up to the ship for a sharp talking-to after he airs a debate between pro- and anti-V pundits. He thinks that he's got the V on the defensive now, but we shall see. I'm looking forward to seeing where this show is going. Especially now that Dale has awakened, all healed up and human-looking, on the V ship."
- RAPatton
Elizabeth Mitchell is pretty solid as the lead. The teens storyline is all kinds of weak sauce (although the V teen (liz?)) is kind of mesmerizing to look at. I like how quickly it's turned into a conspiracy story.

The first women to play pro basketball with men, Lieberman has taken charge of the Dallas Mavericks’ affiliate in the NBA Development League, which will tip off next November. Lieberman said: “I feel like I'm the right person for the job. “I know how these guys feel. I played in the minor leagues. I’m ultimately connected to that part of development in a player’s life.”"

What can I say about one person? Jason Toney's posts always elicit wonder and insight. RAPatton, I feel like is just full of awesome with his insight and approach to things. Haggis is a barrel of laughs. Steven Perez (when he's not fighting with conservatives) has spawned his own catchphrase. Nicholas K. is just about the most awesome single dad I've seen in a long time.

You know me, I can't ever pick one person so I will simply say that every single person I subscribe to is smart, interesting, funny and make being on this crazy little site damn entertaining. Those that I've been lucky enough to get to know beyond the site prove to me every day that everyone who has ever said only weirdos and stalkers are online are just smoking crack.

My first public skype call was with Tad, Glen and the Amber - a lovely conversation with great people. Tad was bold enough to live stream his workstation software install expedition and is a friend to all; Glen is chalk full of incisive wit and has an easy going conversational style; and the Amber was open enough to admit she's shy but worked up the courage to get on the call anyway. Like I said, great people, and quite representative of all the good people in the land of friendfeed.

I think, most of all, Derrick has redefined what it means to be yourself. I have had the distinct honor of meeting him and what you see here is Derrick. He shares his joys with us, which is easy, but he also shares his pain with us. I must say that I am jealous of his ability to be open, and I admire him immensely.

It's hard to pick anyone out because my total FF is made up of so many brilliant people: funny, witty, acerbic, insightful, mind-blowing, thrusting, truth-seekers, provocative, timelords (okay, there might only be one of them...). I love the tech, the LOLs (and the LOLcats), the debates, the discussions, the shared problems, the glimpses into others' lives....And Monique, you have started one of my favourite threads so special props to you.

Monique is a clever woman to kick off such a good thread
- RAPatton
Josh and Trish and Tina and Yolanda and Derrick and DYSP Steven make me smile and laugh when I need it. Johnny Worthington always hears when I post an "OMG help me!" kind of thing, and he usually responds with the most absurd and sweet message. Also, he has haiku battles with me, which is all kinds of WIN. Mark W and Fierce Lindsay make me smile, and Mark VandenBerg makes me LOL.

I had no idea when I started this thread that it would blow up like this. I think this is a clear example of the value of friendfeed: the relationships we build. Sure, we have differing interests, politics, social situations and opinons, but at the end of the day, what we come here for are the people. No one exists in a vacuum, and if they did, they probably wouldn't have a friendfeed...

Nominate The Decade's Most Important Music - All Songs Considered Blog : NPR - http://www.npr.org/blogs...

"Starting today, NPR Music is looking back at some of the memorable moments and recordings of the past decade. We'll have a lot of new features on the site every day for the next two weeks, starting with our Question of the Day from Carrie Brownstein on the Monitor Mix blog, and The Decade Defined on All Songs Considered. Next week on All Songs Considered, beginning Nov. 16, we'll feature our picks for the 50 most important recordings of the decade. As we compile the final list, we'd love your input. Using the comments section below, tell us what albums or songs you think should be included."

"An important distinction: We're not looking for everyone's favorite albums or songs, but rather ones that had some sort of historical significance. These are the game-changers -- ones that signaled some sort of shift in music, or ones that were particularly influential in some way. We're looking for the albums and singles people will still buy, share, listen to and talk about for years or decades to come."
- Michael W. May
Interesting. I'm inclined to think that Outkast were the most important artists of the decade but I'm not sure between Stankonia and Speakerboxxx\The Love Below which is the more important album.
- Jason Toney
Yeah. I don't think we get Gnarls without Outkast. Particularly Ms. Jackson and Bombs Over Baghdad (and, of course, Hey Ya) as genre pushers and barrier breakers between hip hop and indie/alternative sounds.

JT knows his stuff; today's NPR piece on the topic concerns OutKast: "As the music industry began to break apart and go niche, it's remarkable that a group as artistically ambitious as OutKast could break through the way it did. But Stankonia was one of those game-changing records that made everyone perk up and pay attention." http://n.npr.org/npr40...

"This spring, Wall Street was fretting over the uncertain commercial prospects of Pete Docter's Up. But six months and $646 million after its release, it's Pixar's second-highest-grossing film ever and, thanks to the Academy's expansion of the Best Picture category, it stands a good chance of being the studio's first movie to compete for Oscar's top award. Given Up's release on Blu-Ray and DVD tomorrow, we spoke to Docter by phone about the movie's first four minutes, its awards chances, and what little he could tell us about his next project (which isn't Monsters, Inc. 2!)."

"I ate four more pieces—a wing, a thigh, a breast, a leg, and another thigh. That's what I call a balanced meal. I would have kept going if I didn't feel embarrassed. As I said, I was the only customer in the place, and the hostess had nobody to look at but me. I tried a few other items from the buffet line. The pulled pork was about what you'd expect from a guy from North Carolina, real good. The starches and veggies tasted soft and Southern."

With fried chicken poised to become the next big thing in New York, it's about time we paid more attention to the man who has been doing it better than anybody else for longer than anybody else. By the time I'd left, I'd figured out the secret of Charles Gabriel's chicken. It isn't the oil, the flour, or the birds. It's him, the man behind the pan.

Conventional wisdom about young people's use of digital technology often equates generational identity with technology identity: today's teens seem constantly plugged in to video games, social networks sites, and text messaging. Yet there is little actual research that investigates the intricate dynamics of youth's social and recreational use of digital media.

"It takes more than shout-outs to Spike Lee, however, to make a true New York anthem — a song that embodies the spirit of the city and burns itself into the collective consciousness, destined for stadium sing-alongs and movie soundtracks.

"New York is all about scale, from the skyline to the ambitions it frames, which is why Sinatra’s “New York, New York” is the quintessential theme. It’s nothing but ego: “A-number-one, top of the list, king of the hill” — a song about the drive to make it big, at anything. Likewise, “Empire State of Mind” contains perhaps the gutsiest lines ever sung in the presence of Derek Jeter: “I...

"The Jay-Z/Sinatra link isn’t so far-fetched. Both grew up on the poor fringes of New York — Sinatra in Hoboken, Jay-Z in the Marcy projects in Brooklyn — and made A-number-one through mastery of craft, business smarts and exploitation of their own hyper-masculine poise. Theirs is the story of the bad boy made very, very good, who breezes stylishly through high society with an impossibly glamorous woman on his arm, yet never loses his street-smart edge."

"We were in a small room with low ceilings. All of the suits that are associated with this film were pushing me towards her. But I’m scared of her, so I’m shifting backwards. But she sees me, and keeps inching closer and closer. She can’t get to me fast enough, because she’s Oprah and everyone wants to talk to her. I’m the only idiot in the room trying to get away from her. Finally, I’m backed into a wall and she gets to me. She hugs me and then I see her mouth moving, but I hear nothing. All I remember is that her favorite color is green. I always wear purple and she was wearing purple one day, and I think I said, Oprah, stop stalking me! And she said, “Purple is a very pretty color on you. Everyone thinks it’s my favorite color, but really, it’s green.” That’s all I remember."

Re: MARIAH CAREY: "Everyone makes fun of her for that, which is weird, because it’s like, it wasn’t supposed to win an Oscar anyway. The first time I saw her was at Lee Daniels’ apartment. She walked in and behind her I saw a trail of glitter and diamonds—but that’s my perception of her, because she’s Mariah. All that vanished on the second day of filming when I realized she’s just a girl. Maybe it helps that I saw her without makeup, wearing polyester clothing."
