Apparently The Pirate Bay has been seized indirectly by the FBI and they are IP logging. Reblog this, it could save one or more people from a whole world of trouble.
they want to make the internet like tv. with channels and paying to get to specific websites and things. net neutrality = not doing that
This impacts every internet user. Please signal boost the hell out of this and sign the petition if you are American
I do not reblog things like this very often, but this affects me both personally and my business as a freelance artist.
In the economy here; cash is already strapped as it is. You bet your ass companies would suck the ever living life out of misc. art sites.
I don’t want it to ever come down to me choosing between groceries or purchasing a new tier package via comcast to be able to access tumblr or DeviantArt (let alone not guaranteeing I’ll even be seen by my customer base since they may not want to pay out their asses either). It doesn’t seem important to most, but I do 90% of my business online entirely.
Please sign up, fight for this and share it with your followers/friends/family and urge them to give them hell as well.
Not writing related, but this is incredibly important. While we pay for service via ISPs, the internet has been a relatively free space where everyone, no matter their income level, is able to connect, access a wealth of information, and express themselves. The Internet has become a major part of our culture as human beings and the notion that ISPs might be able to limit what sites I can access unless I pay them more is utterly sickening. A lot of us are cash strapped as is, and I’d rather not be limited even more by someone else’s greed. Net Neutrality is essential and I hope you guys will understand why it needs to remain.

P.S. Signal boost this if you’re able.
“ limit what sites I can access unless I pay them more”

As I understand this ruling, it means that businesses now have to pay extra to ISPs to have access to their websites through that ISP provided at a reasonable speed. If you don’t pay, users’ access to your website will be slowed to a crawl - so independent people and small businesses can forget about getting onto that high speed access tier.
This means that the American internet is going to be firmly under the control of those who have the most money. You’ll only get to see the content of those who can pay the ISPs to provide access at a reasonable speed. This means that you can expect to see skewed representation of just about everything, with those bigger businesses who can afford to pay ISPs a premium for access deciding what you can and cannot read, view and consume on the internet.
This is not something that we have in the UK. Our ISPs compete with each other to provide higher speeds, better services and lower prices, but because there’s a monopoly in the US of a few ISPs who provide services, they can afford to do this to you. You can’t go anywhere else, after all.
Everyone in the US needs to sign that petition, call their representatives, write angry letters and do whatever you can to tell your government that this ruling is Not Okay.
Maybe you guys are sick of this post but It’s really important to freelance artists and pretty much everyone who uses the internet, so here it is again. \o0o/
The staff must have a lot of pressure putting movie long script into an episode, would explain the sudden wierd ending each episode has.
This show is dark as hell too
I love it
Also, it explained a lot about what the gem war was. The one repairing the transport station wanted to reactivate the drills which are either planting gems or harvesting the earth to make more gems. The thing that would be bad for the life on earth that pearl was talking about is probably they would mine out the entire planet to make a huge army. That’s my theory anyways.

This is a photo of an African-American burn victim who lost the pigmentation in his left arm after suffering second-degree burns following an apartment fire.
Around 10-15% of dark-skinned burn victims who receive skin grafts will never fully recover their complexion.
So beautiful.
remember when i said everyone on this site is fucking stupid and obsessed with finding ‘beauty’ in everything????
During a recent Kojima Productions press conference, Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima responded to questions by journalists about his stance on Western media. Mr Kojima is a well-known fan of Western film but made very clear about his opinion on popular Western television, which continued for almost 30 minutes.
“If I could, I would punch every Superwholock in the throat,” he told journalists, motioning with his hand for emphasis. “All of them.”
More surprisingly is that this appears to be a growing trend among Japanese developers, such as Hayao Miyazaki of “Spirited Away” fame. Shigeru Miyamoto, the much-loved head of Japanese game development company, Nintendo Entertainment, was on record as saying “If I knew my work would be played by Superwholocks, I would have never started making games. [They are] literal trash.” This follows news from Nintendo that they would be introducing new DRM to their games that would search Nintendo consoles for evidence of Sherlock, Supernatural or Doctor Who streaming and permanently disable the console.
This is actually kinda disgusting. Yeah, a lot of Superwholocks can be cringe-worthy, but who gives a flying fuck- so they like a show a lot? So what? It’s like no one can be enthusiastic about anything before, I mean, goddamn, just let people have fun and mind ya own fucking business.
Can.. Can I just move to Canada? Please?
I never wanted to move to Canada anyway. :’D *Moves to Hawaii*
Despite apparently sharing many characteristics with Samus Aran from Metroid, I must confess I’ve never actually finished a Metroid game. I always got bored or lost or bored of getting lost, so I’ve never finished a single one.
Even worse, probably, I’ve only played the 2D ones, and never touched on the Prime games, which are supposedly the best ones in the series.
The people who took pictures with me in my Samus cosplay at conventions are going to lynch me if they ever hear of this.
