I thought The Motorcycle Diaries was a good movie, and I know the CIA fucked up a lot of South America by fighting Communism and waging the War on Drugs, and that sucks, and the embargo against Cuba doesn’t make a lot of sense in a post-Cold War era, but seriously, people. Do a little reading before you put on a T-shirt. I don’t know that I would ever wear this pin, which I’m pretty sure will be trendy in no time, but I think it makes an excellent point.

By accident, I just clicked on the link in Gmail that takes you to your oldest message, and holy crap. I had no idea I had been on Gmail that long. I keep thinking of it as a brand-new cool thing, but the oldest message in my inbox is from June 30, 2004. In Internet years, that’s almost an eon. But Gmail is still cool. Thank you, Google, for keeping it awesome.
