As with a low sucking sound it slowly disappeared again, Starbuck still gazing at the agitated waters where it had sunk, with a wild voice exclaimed—“Almost rather I had seen Moby Dick and fought him, than to have seen thee, thou white ghost!”
“What was it, Sir?” said Flask.
“The great live squid, which, they say, few whale-ships ever beheld and returned to their ports to tell of it.”
Moby-Dick, 1851

Guys, FURL sucks. It has sucked for years, and I'm sorry I've been using it. I have switched over to delicious; I would have done this much sooner, but they made it really difficult the last time I tried.

Uhmm, apparently archives haven't really been working since late 2006. THANX for the heads up guys! They are temporarily fixed, and will stay temporarily fixed until I migrate to new software/layout. I have said some hilarious things in the last 7 years, that future generations will feel lucky I preserved. Go check them out.

Woah, it's been 3 years since the last news update! Fuzzysquid now has a webclips icon for your iPhone! It'll automagically show up when you add FS to your home screen. Atom and RSS feeds have been available for a few years now, but I never made special mention of it.

Since it seems to be popular, and it's been linked in a lot of different places besides here, I've decided to post the LJ Images page. At least in the news, at least for now. It's also getting some Google ads because you LiveJournal people are sucking up all my bandwidth (35% for that one page!)

Check out what I've been browsing: FURL.net bookmark archive. Not much commentary, relevance, or sequitur—but it's what's keeping this blog from turning into a meme dumpster.

Your second point... what? What does being sensitive to the members of your audience have to do with liability? No one is suing anyone here...

On the one hand, you play a lone white man in Africa, and it is your job to murder thousands of black people, while stealing their gold and precious gems (which you then spend on purchasing arms). On the other hand, I obviously don't know as much about the history of racism and cultural backdrop of post-colonial Africa as a 13 year old kid from Ohio who calls himself "xXxHugeDong57xXx".
But what really tweaked me today was reading this sentence in a commercial review of the game: "I personally didn't find Resident Evil 5 to have an overtly racist feel". This makes me facepalm for more than two reasons. Cutting to the chase: just because you do not find something to be racist does not make it free of racism, nor does it make racism a subjective matter. Contrary to what most Americans think, not all opinions are worth the same (or worth anything at all). Even worse than that is the dismissal of the entire issue with a few cavalier words that both trivializes the subject and centers the conversation around the author himself.
Because gosh, I was just thinking to myself that the most underrepresented opinion out there is what white men in America think of racism.
