Linky things March 30th through April 6th

Here is some stuff I have been reading that I thought folks might like:

• April 6th – TRON 1982 Trailer – this is a really nice modern style redo of a trailer for the original Tron – I’d go see this movie (to be fair, I did, and I own it now)
• April 6th – Constance McMillen: I was sent to a fake prom – (I don’t have a swear bad enough to start this comment) People are really really shitty.
• March 31st – Jim C. Hines – Racist, Sexist, and Homophobic – This is the 2nd or 3rd of these kinds of discussions I’ve seen in the last few days. And the comments are also good (if a bit self congratulatory). All in all owning your shit and trying to to turn it into compost instead of wallowing in it.
• March 31st – Blog of Rights: Official Blog of the American Civil Liberties Union » Is Facebook Unliking Privacy? – This article covers much of my trepidation about facebook. And while it is talking about possible things happening in the future – its facebook’s attitude and business model that make it worrisome.
• March 31st – Why I Won’t Attend Easter Mass | The American Prospect – “How can Benedict expect to bring sinners to God, or dare write that gay relationships are the “destruction of God’s work,” when he cannot admit to the Church’s own complicity in actual moral transgressions?” (not that I believe in sin, but within the context of their own religion it doesn’t make any sense)
• March 30th – Why Are All These Homosexuals Making Me Think About My Shapely, Toned Buttocks? – “The reason liberals are so mean to conservatives are twofold: the first, and most important, is that many conservatives tend to take every disagreement as a personal affront and a violation of their God-given right not to be uncomfortable. The second is that conservatives and liberals don’t agree on much, and people who disagree tend to disagree. Shocking, I know.”  (my emphasis – because I’ve run into this so often even with other liberals that I have disagreements with)
• March 30th – The Republic of T. » So Much For “Law and Order Conservatism” – I wonder how much the fact that a lot of the left doesn’t take these people seriously makes them even more nuts.
