I’m always posting some interesting links up on my FB profile. I used to be one of those annoying people who linked their Twitter account to Facebook, thus all my friends then get the impression I’m a serious alcoholic or an out-and-about partyer. Then I used Selective Twitter, so no one sees every single tweet, which is now moot since I haven’t tweeted much lately. Getting back to the good ol’ FB profile, I now post a lot of links to express myself instead of giving every little bit of mundane piece of information. However, the links anyone chooses to post can say quite a bit about themselves. In my case, the most of the recent articles shared from the Chronicles of Higher Education point to my malaise about having gone through grad school, adjuncting, and the now anorexic amount of job opportunities (especially for higher degree holders). Also, here and there, there’s a shiny bit of news that catches my attention and I have to share those with everyone too.
So here are some interesting links from the past few days:
From my NYC blog friend ThePete: A Craigslist ad where someone offers to take care of pets left behind from the Rapture. Of course, people like Timothy LaHaye never consider what would happen to the beloved saints’ pets, though they have no problem imagining airplane accidents as a result of vanishing pilots, who just happen to love the Lord enough for him to teleport them out of the cockpit and endanger anywhere from 50 to 200+ passengers.
Glad to hear former President Clinton is ok after some surgery on an artery. Apparently, he’s the Face of Boe, as the articles picture shows:
I can hear him now telling the Doctor that he’s not alone.
The Peter Principle is alive and well with airport security, who have obviously reached their highest levels of brilliance, which is quite sad. They hassled a student over some Arabic language flashcards, and he is rightfully suing the bastards.
As a friend pointed out, they’re not above harrassing 8 year old boys as terrorist suspects:
Every week, Harper’s has some fun links that they share with their readers, and I love the comic that’s right above the entry from a few days ago:
Oh, and the more recently posted links on Harper’s blog are very interesting, especially a Utah proposal to cut the 12th grade from their high schools.
Oh, and I couldn’t start my week off without hearing about Kevin Smith’s airline drama and his Twitter rantfest, whether I wanted it or not.
