This. Fucking this. Always.

This is why gender neutral bathrooms are necessary
Some places around here have gender neutral bathrooms...

His shirt reads “They gave me a medal for killing two men, and a discharge for loving one.”
You are a bad-ass.
“…and we need a little cooperation from the people who are stealing, who are stealing these movies, and we’re not getting it!” — Bill Mayer, “Real Time with Bill Mayer,” in defense of SOPA, a bill which he admits he did not read, and “doesn’t get.”
No, Bill. Do you really expect criminals to cooperate with the law? REALLY? You admit that you don’t understand what this bill is really about, that you haven’t read it. You admit the reason you even CARE is because when you released “Religulous,” you lost a large amount of profit to illegal file-sharing.
When Jennifer Granholm pointed out that at the very least, we could admire the proof that our individual citizens, when banded together, still had power in our government, you laughed it off, saying, “No, they just want free shit! They don’t want to stop getting free shit!”
Hey, Bill, I don’t pirate. That’s not to say I don’t want free shit, its just against my personal morals. Plenty of people were against SOPA on grounds that weren’t about saving their own asses. You know why we didn’t want SOPA passed? Because we felt there was a big difference between uploading the entire “Family Guy” series to your site and then selling ad space, versus taking a home video of your grandma’s centennial—where the whole nursing home gathered round and sang “Happy Birthday”—and uploading it to YouTube.
Anonymous Goes On Megaupload Revenge Spree
Anonymous has sure been quiet lately, but today’s federal bust of Megaupload riled ‘em up good: a retaliatory strike against DoJ.gov has left it completely dead.
DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com is reporting the department’s site as universally nuked, and an Anonymous-affiliated Twitter account is boasting success. This is almost certainly the result of a quickly assembled DDoS attack, and easily the widest in scope we’ve seen in some time. If you had any doubts Anonymous is still a hacker wrecking ball, doubt no more.
The combination of the hacking nebula’s SOPA animosity — they’ve been a vocal opponent of the bill since its inception — combined with today’s sudden Megaupload news has made the group bubble over: hundreds upon hundreds of Anon operatives are in a plotting frenzy, chatting about which site will go down next. In Anon’s eyes, the government and media interests are responsible for the undue destruction of Megaupload (and the arrest of four of its operators), so it’ll be exactly those entities that are feeling the pain right now. Pretty much every company that makes movies, TV or music, along with the entirety of the federal government, is in Anonymous’ crosshairs.
Update: Anonymous says they’ve also knocked off the RIAA’s site — looks down for us at the moment as well.
Update 2: Universal Music Group has also fallen off an e-cliff.
Update 3: Goodbye for now, MPAA.org.
Update 4: Affected sites are bouncing in and out of life, and are at the very least super slow to load. Anon agents are currently trying to coordinate their DDoS attacks in the same direction via IRC.
Update 5: The US Copyright Office joins the list.
Update 6: This Anon sums up the mood in their “official” chat room at the moment:
Danzu: STOP EVERYTHING, who are we DoSing right now?
Update 7: Russian news service RT claims this is the largest coordinated attack in Anonymous’ history — over 5600 DDoS zealots blasting at once.
haha OH WOW
KILL THE GIBSON
Damn.

From this awesome Anon video.
This gave me goosebumps. And it should, for it’s a fascinating point: This IS the first movement of its kind, with its use of the internet and smart-phones etc. This is a unique situation. We can document information like never before. We can share information like never before. And we can garner strength from supporters the world-over like never before.
“The whole world is watching.”
Sidenote: If this is still going strong by the Fifth of November (a Saturday, as fate would have it) - and I suspect it will be - things are going to get pretty damn interesting.
