1. 7 Things For 1/11/12, And…

    Thoughtz on Damien Hirst

    1) The Fuel Subsidy Removal Protests for Dummies.

    via @TejuCole whose twitter feed has been the source of nearly everything I’ve read about the situation in Nigeria.

    2) The SportsCenter-ization of Political Journalism.

    True, true.

    3) Woman Hit By Teen’s Flying Body Parts Sues Teen’s Family.

    Ugh.

    4) A Former Keith Olbermann Employee Speaks: Rage, Outbursts, and Bad Suits.

    Haa

    5) WATCH: M.O.P. Read a Children’s Book.

    Bonus Haa

    6) Laugh During Wartime.

    A piece about humor during the Civil War. Apparently Abraham Lincoln ‘stayed playin’ and a lot of jokes were being shark bit. Also:

    “When the Union called for 75,000 volunteers, rebel jokers published advertisements for “75,000 Coffins Wanted.””

    7) The Best Devices on Which to Read Essays About Leaving Your Devices Behind.

    A bit of a reply to “The Joy of Quiet,” and those “tons of essays and articles about how we enslave ourselves with technology.”
