What does an evil giraffe look like?

Now we know.

Sorry for the lack of content recently. Work is really busy, life is really full! And I have been reading lots of comics in my spare time instead of blogging. Never mind, eh? Some random links in lieu of my actually thinking about what to write (brain is somewhat crowded right now):

• Cory Doctorow to Microsoft on DRM's failings:

  "In the 1800s, sheet-music publishers lobbied congress to ban piano-roll machines, and create a law that said any new system for reproducing music should be subject to the veto of their industry association."

• You are not, and never will be, a strong black woman. (Dammit!)
• The map of the queer united states
• Beheading provokes continuing anti-Muslim backlash (from the sort of people who think people who believe in Islam are called "Islamics")

  "There are individuals here who are off the wall, who think that every woman who wears a hijab or every man named Mohammed is out to blow things up."
