Just Looking for the Honey PotA similar incident happened in 2010 while a hunter was on top of a tree stand in Minnesota. Much like this cameraperson, he kept his composure when the bear approached him.stannate1:24 PM on June 17, 2013

Ask post: Help Me Find Other Examples of this Odd Dynamic I Noticed in a MovieThe Prophecy is a pretty bad horror film made enjoyable by Christopher Walken's intense, table-licking turn as the Archangel Gabriel.posted to Ask Metafilter by EXISTENZ IS PAUSED6:35 PM on June 16, 2013

And the home of theI would love -- LOVE -- to hear the chain of logic that goes from professional football ticketing policies to the very fundamentals of Western civilization. Risk assessment and planning has reached the point of a hyper-responsive immune system; it is the response that disrupts the situation more than the original issue. Excessive searches everywhere and paranoia is the mark of an unhealthy polity, and that is a disease that... [more]

I do not expect to see home again.Q: But isn't there a need for surveillance to try to reduce the chances of terrorist attacks such as Boston? A: "We have to decide why terrorism is a new threat. There has always been terrorism. Boston was a criminal act. It was not about surveillance but good, old-fashioned police work. The police are very good at what they do." This. The Bush administration made the wrong call when on Sept. 12, 2001 they declared... [beagle5:42 PM on June 9, 2013
but on what evidence do we have that the United States government is using it to this purpose? He specifically addressed this point (and I think very well) in his interview. When you build a technological mechanism which can be used to impose a tyranny and the only barrier to that tyranny is policy rather than law, it is practically inevitable that someone will find reason to change that policy in the future. He calls it... [Justinian3:56 PM on June 9, 2013
"Yossarian was cold, too, and shivering uncontrollably. He felt goose pimples clacking all over him as he gazed down despondently at the grim secret Snowden had spilled all over the messy floor. It was easy to read the message in his entrails. Man was matter, that was Snowden’s secret. Drop him out a window and he’ll fall. Set fire to him and he’ll burn. Bury him and he’ll rot, like other kinds of garbage. The spirit gone, man is garbage. That was Snowden’s secret. Ripeness was... [more]sibboleth1:46 PM on June 9, 2013
Snowden said that he admires both Ellsberg and Manning, but argues that there is one important distinction between himself and the army private, whose trial coincidentally began the week Snowden's leaks began to make news. "I carefully evaluated every single document I disclosed to ensure that each was legitimately in the public interest," he said. "There are all sorts of documents that would have made a big impact that I didn't turn over,... [more]posted to MetaFilter by gertzedek1:17 PM on June 9, 2013

Why I Heckled Michelle ObamaSometimes people take extreme action because they want you to pay attention to their cause. But a lot of the time protesters take extreme action because they want you to pay attention to the protester. This is how all good movements are ruined. At a time when attitudes toward LGBTQ people and the laws pertaining to them have been shifting in their favor at a lightning pace compared to the past, attacking your allies because you want it to happen faster doesn’t strike...

It looks like Sturtz believes in one of our society's most aggravating traditions: the loudest person in the room is the person with the most important point to be made, and as long as you're able to shout down your opponent you're the most correct. Screw her. I certainly won't be listening to anything she has to say in the future, no matter how much I believe in her cause.item3:14 PM on June 8, 2013

All Powerful Bike LobbyI'm a huge fan of the bike share. HUGE. It's pretty awesome. Some background: I've been riding in NYC for the past eight years, and have my own bike, been in my share of accidents, and now bike pretty calmly and safely. I wear a helmet regularly. So this is coming from someone who loves biking. 1) The bikes don't fulfill a need. They create an ability. I'm not using these bikes because want my own bike.... [

Learning to Look for ResilienceThanks, that was a really interesting article; the specific examples from Haiti and NY nicely support the thesis that the common post-disaster myths of violence, rampant disease and panic aren't usually true at all, and that the press overplays those myths in absurd and harmful ways, in part out of "elite panic." The whole thing's convincingly written. This part stuck with me:“Even when looting is not actually observed, that... [more]mediareport10:23 PM on June 2, 2013
