An article on running barefoot... sorta.

It's ostensibly about the loneliness of the barefoot runner, but it reads more like an ad for Nike's new "like barefoot" shoe. Well, see, if you're shod, you're not barefoot and therefore it doesn't count. Duh.

I'm not kidding, that's an actual headline.

Clicky!

You know the world is ending when I agree with the idiots Scalia and Thomas...

Finally, an article on our inability to protect ourselves.

Since I post a lot of articles...

(I know, you hadn't noticed, right?)

Um. Oh yeah. Since I post a lot of articles, I thought I'd create a poll to see which articles are the most appreciated. Because I HAVE A PAID ACCOUNT I DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR NYAH! (Well, I do pay for it. With my soul. But not with money, so NYAH!)

[Poll #518849]

Okay...

I know I post a *lot* of links. In fact, that's the bulk of my posts. The more I read, the more I try to lump them together, but I'm afraid that the more I lump them together, the less likely any link will be read, and I'm not posting them entirely for my own edification. And I can't just comment on all of the links, my sarcasm sense would burn out fast.

So. Um. About how many links have to be in a post before your eyes glaze over and you click on none of them? This isn't a poll, just a question.

Edit: What about if I stored up most of my links every day, and posted them in one swell foop, in a post divided into neat categories like "Civil rights" and "Politics" and "Reproductive rights" and stuff like that? There'd still be a lot of links, but it'd be easier to find the ones you're interested in, and I'd still be reducing the sheer volume of posts I make every day.
