What Snowden had to say

If you haven't read Snowden's testimony to the EU, you should. It's a remarkably concise 11 pages.

[T]he current state of affairs is the inevitable result of subordinating the rights of the voting public to the prerogatives of State Security Bureaus.

First Kiss

http://guardianlv.com/2014/03/20-strangers-first-kiss-by-filmmaker-tatia-pilieva-video/

Apparently this thing is the filmmaker's first project and it's gone wildly viral. The YouTube video was well north of 8.5 million hits when I saw it.

The social critic in me wants to say things about the appearances/ages of the kissers. Supposed picked at "random" they're all young(ish) and all conventional-appearing. At least there are some not M-F pairings, but persons of color are painfully absent.

But it's intimate and sweet and I can't help smiling along.
