@oline73 Was compressing @stilgherrian / http://is.gd/9rBf US urban v rural doesn't lead urbanites to occupy airport Read http://is.gd/9rBf
This bodybuilding/steroids site weirds me out: http://is.gd/9sfs 2 posts/hour, so probably a bot, but set up to catch users. And the pics!
Via @stilgherrian: Background on Thai political crisis http://is.gd/9rBf Forget West's Left vs Right , its urban v rural & mdl class v poor
@KathySierra If 'Buying In' describes Cluetrain thought ca. 1939, & turned out to be wrong, is Cluetrain wong today? If no, what changed?
RT @zephoria: Clarification: Lori Drew was acquitted of all of the major felonies. She was convicted of a few misdemeanors.
RT @zephoria Lori Drew acquitted-unquestionably right legal decision, but a sad moral one. (Helicopter parents are dangerous to society.)
@matthewburton whats interesting about Thai multitweets tho is the range of opinion - some focus on army, some on govt, some on protestors
RT @stilgherrian (good post abt Thai situation, journalism, and Twitter): "Journalism in a hyperconnected world" http://is.gd/91hX

@matthewburton Why does having repeat donors void small donor rationale? Because cumulatively they all got to $2400? (Doubt this.)
@heathr Yeah, I was Twitter-compressing numbers, a reflexive habit. You _can_ use NoOneight as a Facebook middle name
Facebook: NoOn8 is the new 'Hussein'
KidCogSci: My son: Poop! Me: No potty words. S: My brain told me to. M: Tell your brain to tell you to stop. S: That doesn't make any sense.
@dphiffer Ah, got it. I liked noticing I'd bought something from Australia when it arrived, but I liked not knowing when I was shopping.
@lachlanhardy It's Ricardo's Theorem: pro-local bias (aka protectionism) sub-optimizes overall system output. http://is.gd/8CTj
