POPSMegacorps Agree To Stop Being Dicks At least for the moment. As someone who would've been screwed by this money grab, I'm glad they've come to an agreement. However, I think this shows why regulation needs to be brought back and brought back hard.

POPSThe Methane Time Bomb As pessimistic/cynical as I am, I really didn't want us to get to this point. Perhaps it won't reach the critical point, but I'm not holding my breath.

POPSTo Queer, or Not To Queer? One of the few genuinely interesting things about the Knight Rider movie/pilot earlier this year was FBI agent Carrie Ruvai's apparent queerness. Unsurprisingly, it's caused waves and will probably never be seen again. But some of the people behind the scenes aren't as homophobic as the suits.

POPSHP Lexicon Ruling Will Not Kill Fandom The Lexicon book did too much verbatim copying and paraphrasing, so it’s not excused under fair use and it’s an infringement of JKR/WB’s rights as copyright holders. Tranformative works are cool; this transformative work isn't so cool.

POPSAs The Disc Turns I would make me quite sad if it turned out to be a fraud, but ultimately it is better to know the truth. I'm looking at you Greece.

POPSPotential Paradigm Shift? I am always wary of ideas that glorify computers as the best (and perhaps only true) way to understand the functions of the world and life. However, this one is slightly different from the ones I've seen before, so...maybe?

POPSListening To Teens, Not Just Demonizing Them I listen to My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy and others that are called 'emo'. I know, from an adult perspective, that calling them suicide-promoting cults is a filthy lie. But it's really good to see a teenager eloquently saying it as well.

POPSFatal Hit And Run By My Home I heard this happen. I heard a huge thudding crunch and then silence. I knew that there had been yet another accident at this intersection. I'm saddened, but not remotely surprised that it was fatal. Always, always the accident is caused by someone attempting to go West on Buckingham. Without fail.

POPSCutting Your Food's 'Gas' Price I've heard of the whole eating locally thing, which I still like the idea of, but I like that this goes a step further. Of course, I'm starting from a pretty decent spot...being only lacto-vegetarian. Damn my cheese addiction.

POPSSound in Smoke It doesn't sound like much at all, but for something recorded in soot it's pretty damn impressive

POPSNet Socialization Good I feel like saying "duh", but also I'm glad to see someone say something positive about online social interaction. Even if they did use Myspace as their source.

POPSAnother Fannish Meta-tale Seriously, being part of slash fandom (and media fandom in general) is one of the best things that's happened to me. I've met the best people and it's things like this essay that reaffirm that.

POPSEmpty Karma Best explanation I've ever come across in regards to karma and all that.

POPSMaybe we can call it Endor The new planet is in the habitable zone of its parent star, a domain where the temperature is right for liquid water to exist

POPSScrew Normal! Part of a wide-ranging discussion in fandom on livejournal about not freaking the mundanes with our kinky shit. Notable, to me, for the last quoted section in particular.

POPSLegal Music/Fan Vids? I am...intrigued, but cautious. While I want the corporations, particulary the mafiAAs, to chill the frak out about non-profit use of their works...I don't trust them.
