“ When the ecosystem stops rewarding complexity, it is the people who figure out how to work simply in the present, rather than the people who mastered the complexities of the past, who get to say what happens in the future. ”— Clay Shirky

“ The conjunction of a black president and a female speaker of the House — topped off by a wise Latina on the Supreme Court and a powerful gay Congressional committee chairman — would sow fears of disenfranchisement among a dwindling and threatened minority [i.e. the Tea Party movement] no matter what policies were in play. ”— The Rage Is Not About Health Care - NYTimes.com

Fighting for breath, Britney Bin Laden sprinted away from the collapsing building with all the speed of a get rich quick scheme or celebrity nipple slip. A massive explosion tore seductively through the virgin wall behind her, a wall which was eighteen years old and ready for fun.
Yikes, thought Britney, this is certainly exclusive breaking news which might well affect current stock prices. Just then, a truck carrying cheap pharmaceutical goods veered off the road, narrowly missing her. That could have killed me, thought Britney, her life flashing before her eyes like a free bootleg movie download. There are so many things I regret. I wish I had won top prizes at an online Euro-Casino, or talked to more singles in my area.
‘Britney!’ someone shouted. She squinted through the smoke. It was her friend and lover, Jesus Michael Jackson-Obama-Sextape. ‘Are you okay?’ he said, offering her coupon codes for genuine software downloads.

YouTube - 8-bit counter with polyphonic square wave
Two strangers awake in San Francisco after a drunken, unfaithful one-night stand. Despite an awkward start, chance leads them to spend that whole Sunday leisurely getting to know one another, forging an emotional connection from a physical encounter.
This is a slow, intimate slice-of-life movie, a kind of mumblecore, hipster version of Before Sunrise, but with a political edge: Race and the city's gentrification are major topics of conversation between the two African-American leads (one of whom is The Daily Show contributor Wyatt Cenac).
The atmosphere is perfect: The contrast-rich image, desaturated to the point that it's very nearly as black and white as the main character's worldview, the hand camera with its frequent changes of focus, the indie soundtrack (featuring Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, Au Revoir Simone and Oh No! Oh My!) and the beautiful pictures of San Francisco reflect and augment the characters' emotions and situation wonderfully.
I may be a little biased because this is both my favorite city and my favorite genre of music, but I loved this film.

Guy (Dano) with family issues meets girl (Deschanel) with family and commitment issues. What will this mean for his dream of adopting a Chinese baby, which he's harbored since he was eight? Will it maybe even help him escape the terror of being stalked by a brutal homeless man for no reason? Yes, that's how little sense it all makes.
The film is interestingly cast (including John Goodman and that guy who played Lester Freamon on The Wire) and beautifully shot (though a bit teal-orangey, I couldn't help but notice), but too quirky for its own good, and with a lazily meandering plot.
It picks up near the end: Everyone's so detached that the first display of actual human emotions a few minutes from the end seems like an epic breakthrough, and when the film ended with Animal Collective playing, I was almost ready to forgive its numerous flaws.

We came across the flea market at Schikaneder this weekend – managed to score posters of some of my favorite movies.

As we mentioned before, Soup.io is powering this year's edition of the Red Ribbon Award, a creativity challenge for students aged 14–20. Any media related to the motto "HIV/Aids and human rights: Education instead of discrimination" (texts, images, videos, songs, etc.) may be submitted by May 7th for a chance to win a variety of prizes, fame and that certain sense of smugness that comes from doing something good ;)
For Soup users, submission couldn't be easier: Just tag any of your posts
redribbonaward2010, and after a quick look by a moderator from the Aidshilfe charity, it will be added to the website.We know our users are a creative bunch, so if you happen to fall in that age group and ideally are from Austria, why don't you give it a shot?
