Guys this is my comment on the whole file uploading fiasco and in particular my views on people posting links on Tumblr to file uploads. Would be grateful if this could be passed around. Those of you who have half a brain will realise why this matters a lot to me.

The first rule of a happy fandom is “Don’t be a dick”.  Don’t hotlink, don’t steal and call it yours, don’t post links to a locked post, and if you find something to share re-upload it yourself.  If paying for a premium download service isn’t an option, go with Google Docs.  Following these simple rules would decrease anger, hurt feelings and flaming by about 80%.

How James K. Polk screwed things up for Abraham Lincoln

jheaton416:

This historian describes President Polk as a “suspicious Machiavellian.” As opposed to all those deeply trusting Machiavellians.

Actually, my feeling is that Polk wasn’t much of a Machiavellian at all. Suspicious, yes, deeply so, especially when it came to his generals and his political rivals. But not without cause! Taylor and Scott did have political ambitions that were contrary to Polk’s and that of his party, and his Secretary of State (Buchanan) frequently acted to advance his own political ambitions at the expense of Polk’s foreign policy. Polk did try to marginalize them, by appointing Democratic generals and sending secret envoys on diplomatic missions, but he never tried to get rid of them altogether, which I think a true Machiavellian would have done.

POLK! First out of the box!

I bet something to do with flags is coming up!

Immutable/Inscrutable.: A Proposal to Alter Our Conception of Dance Parties.

sweetlovehotcoffee:

A DJ is largely measured by her or his skill at doing a continuous mix. That’s great. But I think it’s time to jettison the continuous mix. Parties are better when there’s gaps between songs. A crucial six seconds between tunes allows a quickly-deployed “Want a drink?” or “What’s your name?” or…
