Macklemore & Ryan Lewis: “Can’t Hold Us (feat. Ray Dalton)” (The Heist)
This is a new remix of this song, or at least new to me. I have no idea what is happening in this video. Also Macklemore can’t lip-sync for shit.
Lots of my friends don’t care for Macklemore. but I still this album. ANd it’s nice nice to see a hip hop music video without any of the usual tropes (even if it just turns to hipster tropes instead).
My post on Anonymous and the WBC has (so far) 507 likes and reblogs. And it was wrong. Despite having deleted the original post and reblogged a new one explaining the inaccuracy, there is no way for me to kind of get out there and let everyone know the original report was inaccurate.
Even if I had edited the post instead of deleting it, people would still be reblogging away on the old, wrong one.
The idea of spreading inaccuracy bugs me a lot. In an ideal world I would have had the story straight to begin with. But mistakes happen, and Tumblr doesn’t make it very easy to correct them.
I like tumblr very much, but the way things spread here, in which the original poster has zero control over a post once it starts to spread, has always kind of irked me.
Anonymous told the Westboro Baptist Church “Expect us” after the hate group said they’d picket the funerals of those who died in the Boston Marathon bombing.
And wouldn’t you know, Anonymous hacked the Westboro Baptist Church’s facebook page. And no matter how far back you go on the page’s timeline, all the posts appear to belong to Anonymous.
All your base are belong to us.
Since posting this last night, I’ve since learned that this Facebook page never actually belonged to the Westboro Baptist Church. Anonymous had been squatting the page from the start.
So I apologize for being wrong earlier, and have deleted the OP. But since it’s Tumblr, it’s still out there all over the place. So I thought I’d address the innacuracy here.
As others have pointed out, while this may not be “hacking” in the way we normally imagine it, the immense publicity the fake WBC page has gotten in the past couple days effectively amounts to brand hijacking.
Is it as impressive (or criminal, for that matter) as hacking a Facebook page? No. Is it still effective hacktivism (whether you agree with the tactic or not)? Totally.
If you’re the WBC, all your base still belong to Anonymous. Even if they were never yours to begin with.

“The reaction to the Boston attack underscored, yet again, the utter meaninglessness of the word ‘terrorism.’ News outlets were seemingly scandalized that President Obama, in his initial remarks, did not use the words ‘terrorist attack’ to describe the bombing. In response, the White House ran to the media to assure them that they considered it ‘terrorism.’ Fox News’ Ed Henry quoted a ‘senior administration official’ as saying this: ‘When multiple (explosive) devices go off that’s an act of terrorism.’
Is that what ‘terrorism’ is? ‘When multiple (explosive) devices go off’? If so, that encompasses a great many things, including what the US does in the world on a very regular basis. Of course, the quest to know whether this was ‘terrorism’ is really code for: ‘was this done by Muslims’? That’s because, in US political discourse, ‘terrorism’ has no real meaning other than: violence perpetrated by Muslims against the west. The reason there was such confusion and uncertainty about whether this was ‘terrorism’ is because there is no clear and consistently applied definition of the term. At this point, it’s little more than a term of emotionally manipulative propaganda. That’s been proven over and over, and it was against yesterday.”
I don’t personally know anyone who was injured today in Boston, but I love the Revs and been watching Matt Reis in goal for years. Shit like this always makes you feel close to people you don’t know. I hope Matt and his family heal quickly.
