This is January in Chicago, right? You’re sure? I wasn’t force-fed sleeping pills and unknowingly transported somewhere in the southern hemisphere, where it’s currently summer? This is real?
Just checking.
This is how Szymon and I watch Bulls games. And there was much to be discussed during the one-possession loss to the despised Miami Heat.
Underneath my vinyl collecting, Pitchfork reading, occasional nose snubbing, indie music adoring persona, I am to my core—and always will be—a Spice Girls fan.
Girl power.

Aside from the fact that this song could see rightful scrutiny akin to the Under Pressure/Ice Ice Baby fiasco when compared to one of my all time favorite songs, I must admit, I dig it.

Infographic of the Day: According to ProPublica, which is tracking opposition to and support for SOPA and PIPA among members of Congress, yesterday’s blackout managed to persuade many politicians to come out against the Internet killing bills.
As hope-affirming as that is, it’s important to note that support for PIPA remains strong in the Senate, where those in favor of the bill outnumber those opposed by almost 2 to 1.
As mentioned yesterday, another interesting oft-ignored fact is that there is far more support for both bills among Democrats than Republicans. In the Senate, over two-thirds of all supporters are Democrats.
The blackout made a difference, but PIPA could still pass, and a procedural test vote is expected next week. Appreciate the accomplishment, but don’t mistake regrouping for retreat.
Take action.
