I grind through dozens of web pages so you don't have to

• “We’re here! We’re American! Get used to it!” (via solarbird)
• Tom Disch vents his spleen at Dick and Delany (via Kip Manley)
• Sketchfighter 4000 is a 2-D spaceship shooter game (for MacOS X, $19) with pen-drawn graphics on a graph paper background — the sort of thing many of us doodled instead of paying attention in class. The pen shown on the website, also used to create the art, is the Pilot Precise, also featured in Scott McCloud’s Making Comics. (via Ceejbot)
• Dan Froomkin: On Calling Bullshit — “Calling bullshit, of course, used to be central to journalism as well as to comedy. And we happen to be in a period in our history in which the substance in question is running particularly deep. The relentless spinning is enough to make anyone dizzy, and some of our most important political battles are about competing views of reality more than they are about policy choices. Calling bullshit has never been more vital to our democracy.” (via Daring Fireball)
