watertightvines:
And without the so-called piracy, you would never have discovered or gotten into it to begin with.

dreamcreek:
Personal feelings on a certain matter. May offend people.
I love it when people say: ‘Friends’ from online don’t count.
Because I know that they’re wrong.

mswyrr:
…is that he’s a domestic violence committing, female co-star intimidating asshole. You can read the details of what he did to his female partner at the link. Regarding his treatment of female costars: Kiera Knightly didn’t want him spanking her during one of their scenes in a film & said so while tied up; in reply he said “Keira, you’re tied to a bed. You’re not really in a position...

It's Official: Google Is Evil Now →

bellafaim:
In a radical privacy policy shift, Google announced today that it will begin tracking users across all services—email, Search, YouTube and more—sharing information with no option to opt out. The change was announced in a blog post today, and will go into effect March 1.
For what little it’s worth (and not entirely related to this particular privacy issue), you can...

feministdisney:
on The Hairpin today: a pretty cool collection of suffragist poems from 1915. Kind of funny- and sad- that so much of this social commentary could pass as modern discourse if presented without context?? That’s almost a century ago!

It’s Time To Go On The Offensive For Freedom Of...
This week’s collective action against the PIPA and SOPA bills in the United States was unprecedented and mighty. But have you noticed that we’re always on the defensive? We cannot win or even maintain our rights to free speech that way.
The copyright industry is tenacious and effective in using the “Daddy, I want a pony” tactics in legislation. They go at it again, and again, and again, and...

Please help. We won’t be able to send you BBC and European TV and stuff if this passes. As my friend said, this is dangerous and scary.

Sherlock
xof1013:
Steven Moffat: nobody’s spotted crucial Sherlock clue
So The Mentalist tonight may have told me how it was done.
Jane put a rubber ball under a guy’s arm (in his arm pit) to stop the flow of blood long enough to fake him not having a pulse. Then, later, removed the ball and of course the guy is not dead and he’s all fine. Sherlock was playing with that bouncy ball...

oldstarnewshine:
how to cut down on an enormous chunk of illegal downloading, and this is so absurdly simple that it boggles the mind:
make your show / movie / whatever accessible online.
put ads on it so you can make money off of it, or sell a subscription to a competitive streaming service like netflix.
make it available
everywhere, meaning the country of origin and everywhere else

Commentary
feminismisprettycool:
I didn’t want to muck up the good commentary and content of the post I just reblogged (about dating and the trans* community) so I’m throwing it here.
The idea that a person has to disclose whether or not they are trans* to potential dates is bigoted. Here’s why:
As a cis lady, I don’t have to go up to every guy I want to bang in a bar and say “Hey, dude, I have a...

“Bisexual” is not oppressive, can we talk about...
mikroblogolas:
This topic has been discussed to death, and yet it continually comes up in tumblr discussion. So let me establish once and for all (I swear, I will never discuss this again) that “bisexual” is not an oppressive identity.
Bisexual is not binarist.
The argument that it is binarist posits that (1) bisexuality is attraction to binary-identified (sometimes people throw in “cis” too)...
