“Above all, don’t believe your friends when they ask you to be sincere with them. … How could sincerity be a condition of friendship? A liking for truth at any cost is a passion that spares nothing and nothing resists. It’s a vice, at times a comfort, or a selfishness. Therefore, if you are in that situation, don’t hesitate: promise to tell the truth and lie as best you can.”

- Albert Camus, The Fall (1956)

EMERGENCE: What happens when girls try to resist early marriage?:

humanrightswatch:

Girls who refuse to accept or stay in forced marriages, or who elope because they want to marry someone not chosen or approved of by their families, are often at risk of violence, imprisonment, and in extreme cases, may be killed by their families or husbands.

Fri, 14 Jun 2013 03:57:34 -0700

thinksquad:

Residents in Tacoma, Wash. have been threatened with prosecution by the city for painting crosswalks on streets where cars have continually hit pedestrians.

The group responsible, “Citizens for a Safer Tacoma,” says they would rather go to jail than see another person hit by a vehicle. The group, composed of concerned citizens including 15 of whom were hit by cars themselves, were denied help after going to the city.

The city, which seemingly doesn’t have the time or money to install official crosswalks, which cost roughly $1,000 each, ironically has been able to send out road crews to immediately remove four of the citizen’s crosswalks, a removal process that costs roughly $1,000 per crosswalk.

The City said it would prosecute anyone who would make a crosswalk.

New Close-Up of Winter Solider From The Captain America Sequel

There’s been lots of distant shots of the filming of ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ with some so-so images of Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier/Bucky coming out. Now we have the best look yet at the character. Looks pretty much like The Winter Solider from the comics. Of course the cybernetic arm will be enhanced with CGI in post but it does give a good idea what it will look like on screen.

againstpower:

Why do liberals hate community college students?

Apparently, being a high school drop-out and attending community college are justifiable barriers to employment. There are obvious undertones of class and elitism in this smear and at this point, I am not surprised that liberals would go to such lengths to protect their president.

The New York Times doesn’t know what to call Glenn Greenwald

Blogger?

Activist?

Lawyer?

Certainly not a journalist.

Seeing him speak at Ohio State last year I can say that Greenwald is one of the last of a dying breed of investigative journalists.
