Sometimes (but probably not daily) NPR update for Closeted Neo-Cons like liblibl

Bad day(s) for this guy:




Worst Humanitarian crisis since the final days of  WWII developing in Middle East and Africa.   

Panels of "experts" from almost every non-profit known to man talked about the tragedy.   Nary a mention of the administration that has/is caused/causing the situation, and their idiotic overthrow of the Libyan government and their attempts to overthrow Assad (but NO regular boots on the ground, so that's special I guess  )

what station are you listening to? how fun would it be to listen together!

Npr...

npr this morning labeled millenials as people currently aged 18-34 years

I mean, 34 year olds didn't have cable internet or cell phones until college, and 18 year olds have had both for as long as they can remember. Seems reasonable to lump all of those together.

Pagers were banned at my school (apparently they were perceived as some kind of gang paraphernalia)

i found the small bit this morning on bunk subscription services being a booming field quite interesting. how the eff do that many people forget they're paying for something they don't use?

[star seed 7]

i do that all the time :(

Pretty sure that's 100% Hulu's business model.

It was Netflix until streaming options improved.  I used to have the same dvd on my TV Stand for months.

I finally canceled Hulu effective this month after about a year and 8 hours watching.  Canceled 24hr fitness after about 6 months not living within 50 miles of one

That sounds great.

we are already fracking.  I read today that fracking has created 2.7 million jobs.  I mean, it's not like we have just been messing around with it a little bit.  So, where is the steel and the middle class?

Maybe we just aren't fracking enough.
