Pentagon Datamines Social Networking sites

My two cents: all for faster internet. Not for paying more for it, considering that internet has transformed from independent content to corporate fuckery. Oh and the propaganda behind it is a little reminiscent of no-child-left behind (cause no child moves forward).

Gas Prices in CA Ain’t Right

24-Apr-06

In the last two weeks I’ve seen the price at the local gas station raise 3 times to its current $3.13 for 87 octane. WTF, man?! Thats the fucking cheap one. At an ARCO! AND the second week isn’t even over. So finally someone notices:
