It took me 1.5-years to get RSS after Dave Winer first showed it to me. So, I am getting faster. Took me just a few months to get friendfeed. Glad you kept after me.

So how do I access it? <---I take that back. Didn't realize what I was looking at when I went to the site.

Josh: it was a seasonal thing last year at this time, so it is no longer possible. We may have to bring it back by popular demand, but for now the entries you see are all from last year.

Bret - bring back those cute little red icons next to the FF posts! easy seasonal "flair" feature!

"Remember when people were freaking out over the Patriot Act and Homeland Security and all this other conveniently ready-to-go post-9/11 police state stuff, because it would obviously be just a matter of time before the whole apparatus was turned against non-Muslim Americans when they started getting complain-y about the social injustice and economic injustice and income inequality and endless recession and permanent unemployment? That day is now, and has been for some time. But it’s also now confirmed that it’s now, as some Justice Department official screwed up and admitted that the Department of Homeland Security coordinated the riot-cop raids on a dozen major #Occupy Wall Street demonstration camps nationwide yesterday and today. (Oh, and tonight, too: Seattle is being busted up by the riot cops right now, so be careful out there.)"

Best comment: "It's about getting the unpretty people out of the way for Black Friday, Holiday tourists and anyone else who has a friggin penny left to spend on anything else besides gas. Timing is everything here, and they've pulled out the big guns now because our capitalism is supposed to go into high gear next week. If they really wanted people to be safe they would have made these...

I love that comment, because Pop said much the same thing to me a few weeks ago. Which means either Pop knows his history or has been hanging around internet comment threads.
- Steven Perez
This is quite annoying; I'm one of those holiday tourists popping over and I'd been quite looking forward to seeing the protestors.

Denise: I've heard of InfraGuard, but I've not delved too deeply into it. Suffice to say, I'm not terribly surprised.
- Steven Perez
Mark: Having personally witnessed the Occupy San Antonio group some time ago, the thought that they would deserve any kind of observation that wasn't medical in nature (that park must get cold at night) by Homeland Security is laughable. Still, they were fun to watch.

#OWS if cops are harrassing and brutalizing at folks occupy, the answer is political. You vote out enemies, vote in Mayor, and City Council who are friends, they write the policy, set the tone, and appoint police chief who won't allow cops to harass. - Ballot box is change, all else is BS #occupythevote
- WarLord
Well, that is a long-term response, yes. But in the immediate present tense, we're talking about cops who are (illegally) covering their names and badge numbers and acting on orders that we're not sure quite where they're coming from...and that is a matter for the ACLU.
- Prosey BUTTONS!
But we DO know where the orders come from a Police Chief appointed by Mayor and City Council - fuck the ACLU -- VOTE and keep voting until you get the police chief who won't alow his cops to play black glove games. Politics is real change
- WarLord
Of course I'm going to vote...I haven't skipped out on voting. But I do not agree with "fuck the ACLU" and I'll tell you why. The ACLU functions at *all* times, not just when the voting booths are open.
- Prosey BUTTONS!
Yeah but giving it to ACLU does not relieve the responsibility to organize and vote. Voting is how things change without the voting, the tear gas keeps coming #occupythevote
- WarLord
What I said was, I have NOT skipped out on voting WarLord. I completely understand the principle of NOT being ruled by my inferiors, as Plato noted thousands of years ago. I'm involved in my local & state politics, in addition to national politics. I am fully aware of my civic responsibilities and their importance. That being said, the ACLU is the organization that steps up for our...

"Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman released this statement to Business Insider: "The weaknesses exposed by today's test of the emergency alert system are unacceptable. Government and media carriers must work together to make sure the system does what it is intended to do, which is to transmit a nationwide message from the President in a crisis. I commend FEMA for carrying out this long-overdue, first-ever, nationwide test of the system. Without it, we would never have known the extent of the system's vulnerabilities.""

Why is this such a hard story to find anything on? Why isn't every news station talking about their failure to do what, by law for the last 40-50 years, they have supposed to be able to do?

"A very smart dude by the name of Mark Rober figured out that if you strap two iPads to yourself, you can create this incredible, freaky hole effect. This guy should work for NASA. Oh wait, he does. It's really pretty simple. You strap one iPad to your front, one to your back, and you start a FaceTime chat between them. That's basically it! Cut a couple holes in a shirt, add some fake blood, and you're done. He even adds that if the party you're going to has crappy Wi-Fi (or if you're going to be roaming the street, trick or treat style) you can just carry a portable Wi-Fi hotspot in your pocket."

I've traded and lost a lot of CDs and tapes, but they'll have to pry this one from my cold dead hands.

I thought I'd got this in MP3 when I got rid of my CD, but no luck. Going to try some of his studio albums to see what else of his I like. Recommendations welcome.

This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws.

Too Funny! Reminds me of the San Mateo Cat Shelter where one of the cats loves to sleep on top of the laster printer where the paper comes out...

1600+ to beat the FFundercats live chat thread. I think with this real time now on all threads we're going to see some truly epic comment numbers.

Ivan, no the picture speaks for itself. ;-)

Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-)

@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" ..
- pb:
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :]
- pb:
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)
- Iphigenie
Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Hehe, Greg. Blimey! Erm, is that not far from 500 likes now? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes).
- Roberto Bonini
I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little
- SteVe C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?
- The original Kevin
So we can put this post to rest now. :-) 505 likes final count, wow! :-D Good night all!
- Kol Tregaskes
did 3 people really un-like this? now at 506. wtf (edit: uh, oh, yeah, me and 2 + 506 others makes 509. dammit, jim, i'm an artist, not a mathematician)

RT @unicornrawesome: @Pogue A neutron walks into a bar and asks the bartender "How much for a drink?" The bartender looks at him and says "For you, no charge."
looks like something that would make tasty burps later in the day....just sayin'

It makes a smaller recipe than the ones I'm used to: 8x8. I might have to test this out; I can always take it to the library since I really don't need the temptation of having it in my icebox.
