see these feelings? they are strong

If you haven't already heard about SOPA/PIPA, then I really think you should check it out. Seriously. It's a massive set of legislature that in a nutshell gives big companies the right to control what websites exist and what you can see. The program's censorship level is comparable to China and Iran's systems. Many, many, many people are against it, because they recognize the threat to free speech it represents. In two weeks it goes to vote.
On January 18th, many websites are going to be going dark to protest this bill. You can petition various sites here. You can find out more, petition your senators/representatives, and get generally enraged at the situation here

It's a very big deal; if it goes through, life on the internet as we know it will change.


This break in your regular fangirl has been brought to you by important shit. On to the scheduled programming;

Supernatural tonight! *bounces* Yes, this is exciting. I might be able to watch it on TV! Not sure, since it depends on if I can convince the 'rents to go to bed instead of watching NCIS, which, of course, will be difficult, but, eh, who knows. We shall see! I'm going to try bribery with pizza and breadsticks.

Also, apparently The Chew has become my newest love. Me and mum watch it every day practically. I can't help it. They had Hugh Jackman and then Bobby Flay.

(Hi new friends! Usually I'm a lot less serious, unless I get really riled up. But, yeah. Welcome to the insanity!)

i am rendered speechless anytime this pops up anywhere on my timeline. i just don't have words for it.

[majorshipper]

It pretty much never fails to make me go WTF. I want to know who the hell came up with it and thought we'd just roll over for it.

[freaksoldier.livejournal.com]

i don't hear a whole lot about it, and i'm not sure if it even affects me in any way since i'm european, but i'm so not ok with it either way. dicks. all of them, dicks.

[majorshipper]

I don't know if the effect to y'all will be apparent immediately...it does mean that American companies can block European sites and shut down American sites that Europeans vist. So there will be repercussions throughout the world if it gets signed.

But yeah. Basically.

We try to watch it every day. I was never into cooking shows, since I don't have any interest in cooking, but I really enjoy all the people on there.

[majorshipper]

They're a lot of fun! And it's nothing like a traditional talk show OR a traditional cooking show. :D
