Website Attention Whore

You might be a website attention whore if
you consistently answer tweets with other tweets stating who [you think] you are.  Your tweets are repetitive and add nothing new to any conversation that is not about you.

You might be a website attention whore if
you have a serious problem with people wondering if you are a Fed or have been compromised by the Feds.  You issue veiled threats about getting [a.k.a. your version of] the facts "straight" if your detractors are questioning who [you think] you are.  ORLY?

You might be a website attention whore if
you consistently direct people to your website, apropos of nothing.  Because, after all, you are famous and you have a part to play in the Big Event coming up soon.

You might be a website attention whore if
in spite of claiming that you are a part of Anonymous, your picture is all over your tweets, your profile, and the web.  Not even the New Bloods are taken in by your act.  They may not have figured out what's up with you but they know your actions don't pass the sniff test.

You might be a website attention whore if
you think your website is your claim to fame, you drop names in your sincere belief that dropping those names will endow you with an unearned creditability.  Here's a clue:  Most of us have never freaking heard of you anyway.  Nor do we give a damn.

You might be a website attention whore if
you have been found to be not worthy of being called an ego fag.  By the way, you are sadly lacking as even an ego fag.  Ego fags have more going for them than you do.  Ego fags can be rehabilitated. 


All of the above are my opinions about some of what constitutes a website attention whore.  I have run into some number of people over the last decade that I think of as website attention whores.  Ergo, the above is a composite and not specifically directed at anyone.  If you think this is about you, you are wrong.  If you think some of this sounds like you, you have some things to think about should you choose to think.

Now, back to the Revolution!

The N.S.A. Continues, and a free picture

     I'm glad that Ed Snowden did what he did.  He demonstrated great courage.  He risked all in order to tell us something that he believed we needed to know.  Ed Snowden remains an hero to my way of thinking.  I presume that he is still in Russia somewhere learning Russian and perhaps working by now.  I hope that he is safe from those who want to bring him back to the United States in order to prosecute him while the true criminal-- the entire N.S.A.-- remains free to spy on everyone everywhere all the time.

Yes I made it myself from a photo that I took and the legally included fonts in my legally obtained digital art/photograph editing program.  Yes you can download it and use it on the Internet.  Hot-linking is frowned upon.  Right-click and save to "My Computer" if you want it.  Copyright conglomerates, your presence is not welcome here.

     The media continues to release documents and information which makes it quite clear to the average aware citizen exactly how powerful and how bloated the agency has become.  There is outcry on Twitter and throughout the Internet.  Away from the computer, there is a certain rage lacking in the commoners that I happen across on any given day.  Anecdotally speaking only, most of the folks that I run into on a day to day basis have no idea about the extent of the information-gathering that the N.S.A. has been [insert legal word] allegedly doing.  That the N.S.A. has been conducting itself in an underhanded fashion [in my opinion] and continues to do so in spite of the revelations [in my opinion] is no longer a newsflash in the Twitter streams.

     Why doesn't the populace know about it?

radical sapphoq says:  Do this, if you want to.  Every day tell one person about the N.S.A. and what has been revealed.  Tell that one person why he or she should care.  Tell that one person why you care.  In order to change this stuff, more people have to know and reach beyond their self-imposed walls of apathy to respond.  Up the radicals!
