OMG, Reason Is on Facebook!!!!
I mentioned it
briefly at the bottom of my post about Len Bias, but the
higher ups tell me
reason's new Facebook page deserves its
very own post.
The page has an rss feed for reason.com, reason.tv, and Hit & Run, as well as a discussion board (yeah, that's right, a new place for ya'll to flame and troll), and a place for non-staff to upload pictures and videos. Plus, it's a good opportunity to make friends for those of you who are attached to your swivel chairs at the buttocks.
So, head on over to facebook.com, start an account if you don't already have one, and become a public fan of what God is calling, "The funnest thing since Original Sin."

I've got loads of friends who've been pressuring me to join Facebook. And every time I'm almost broken, a new story about Facebooks privacy violations is published and I go back to ignoring my friends' pressure for a while.
Episiarch|6.20.08 @ 12:26PM|#
Join Facebook? Please. So every chump I ever knew in school can look me up and annoy me? If I had wanted to stay in touch with you, I would have.
Old Bull Lee|6.20.08 @ 12:28PM|#
I get MySpace peer pressure, including from my wife.
(Ironically, people who already know each other and meet
face-to-face all the time.) I really don't want to have something
like that to have to check, worry about somebody breaking in and
defacing it, keep up with idiotic comments and bulletins,
etc.
This place, along with a couple of other special-interest blogs and
forums, are entertaining enough for me!

By the way Reason, don't you know you're just going to end up getting solicited by some pedophile? That's what happens on those things, at least that's what they said on the morning show.

Old Bull Lee:
It's not just that they'll be solicited... I heard reports about
young kids being molested by the intrawebs. I think it has
something to do with the series of tubes and something from
Japan...

Like, OMG, Reason!
We can be, like, friends and stuff.
Just don't put up any of your pictures of me being drunk or
anything because, well, employers check that stuff, y'know?

Serious question: what's the Facebook etiquette for dealing with "Friend" requests from people you don't even know?
Marshall|6.20.08 @ 1:03PM|#
I like Wordpress better. I even have rss feeds from hit &
Run and reason from my site.

I absolutely love watching people on the television talk about what
goes on on the Internet. Like when they show videos from YouTube
for all those who are too technically incapable/afraid of going and
looking at it themselves, or when the cable news channels talk
about how people who get their news online are ignorant and
incapable of discerning good journalism from biased opinion - not
at all like what they report on CNN, MSNBC, FoxNews, etc.
It ususally makes me laugh, in a very sad sort of way.

Use the "FUCK OFF, SHITHEAD" button.

You can do what I always do. Ask them:
"Do I know you from somewhere? Why are you trying to add me as a
friend?"
If there is no reason beyond, "I think your hot." you can just
leave it from there.

... Or that. Though, I'm not sure that quite qualifies as
etiquette, Epi. ;-)

Reinmoose - I love it, too, especially when they talk about it
like it's new. Suburban kids were on AOL what, ten years ago? And
when they report on some "YouTube phenomenon" it's usually one that
people actively on the internet have been sick of for months
already.
I was referring to the morning shows focus on fearing for your
child, impressing your neighbors, and nutritional advice for
complete morons but I am with you.

Nice, someone created a "Naomi Klein" account and added it to the fan list...
|6.20.08 @ 1:30PM|#
Jennifer,
I am sending you a friend request. I think you are hot. This post
is also Warren's fault.
Cyrano|6.20.08 @ 1:31PM|#
Watching you other people making friends
Everywhere ~ as a dog makes friends!
I mark the manner of these canine courtesies
And think: My friends are of a cleaner breed;
Here comes ~ thank God! ~ another enemy!
|6.20.08 @ 1:35PM|#
Jennifer,
I either refuse directly or just let them die on the vine. My kids
at work convinced me to get one, and all the other old people at
work keep trying to friend me. I have 15 or so friend requests that
I let hang in limbo.
Epi, someone googled me up for my 20th HS reunion. Ex-girlfriend.
I'm the only person with my name that googled retrieves. Cowardly
not answering email. I prefer to remember her how she looked 20
years ago.
Neoconfederate Newsletter Auth|6.20.08 @ 1:40PM|#
I will set up an account right now. Uploading content should be fun.
Jennifer|6.20.08 @ 1:42PM|#
"I think you're hot" can't be the motivation because I don't think my picture even IS on my Facebook account; the only reason I got it in the first place was because somebody linked to my blog there, and registering with Facebook was the only way I could see what that was all about.

Pix plz thx
|6.20.08 @ 2:03PM|#
You work?!?
Yes, but it's mostly being available to answer the phone, sitting
at a computer and keeping student workers from masturbating on the
job. (Yes, they are reading this and yes, they should get to
work.)
Anyway, you are one to talk.
Pix plz thx
Sadly, I don't have any. She sort of looked like Debbie Gibson
without the chubby cheeks. She probably has 8 kids by now and an
ass you could show a movie on...
Episiarch|6.20.08 @ 2:07PM|#

This is my work style, dude--I work and take tons of mini-breaks.
It actually works very well.
Your student workers troll reason?
|6.20.08 @ 2:11PM|#
Lurk, none of them post. Or least I don't think they do.
If I find out you're really Joey, you're fired.
Episiarch|6.20.08 @ 2:30PM|#
NutraSweet, did you see this one:
To reiterate: male feminists get free access to my
panties.
How stupid are these people?
|6.20.08 @ 2:38PM|#
The funny part is, when they all scream about the obvious
statement that men have a higher libido than women, they relish in
mentioning that they have a much higher libido than their
boyfriends.
Ladies, if your boyfriend has a higher libido than you, three
possibilities present themselves:
1. He's gay.
2. He has a medical condition.
3. The problem is you.
Therefore, the problem with "male feminists get free access to my
panties" is that they are probably only really interested in
wearing them...
|6.20.08 @ 2:43PM|#
Bingo -
You don't have to go through the panties to get to the mouth - a
bit of a go-around
Episiarch|6.20.08 @ 2:54PM|#
Therefore, the problem with "male feminists get free access

Or else they are just playing at being male feminists...to get in
her panties. Which was my point. If you (female feminists) keep
crowing that male feminists get to bang you, guess what? A lot of
not-so-good-with-chicks guys are going to pretend to be feminists
to get laid.
It's kind of like saying "guys with blue hair get into my panties"
and then not noticing that a whole bunch of guys suddenly have blue
hair--but never did before.

Will reason "superpoke" me if I become a friend? And will reason
join the vampires or the zombies?
I hate facebook with such a passion that it hurts. Friends got me
to join and then proceeded to annoy me to such an extent with the
poking and the other nonsense I canceled my account. Seriously
people, we're in our 40's already!
db|6.20.08 @ 5:58PM|#
as well as a discussion board (yeah, that's right, a new
place for ya'll to flame and troll),
I'm not sure this is a good idea. This may have the effect of
splitting Hit&Run between people who can (and care to) access
Facebook all the time, and people who cannot (say at work). It's
easier to access reason.com at many people's workplaces than it is
to access Facebook. The trend toward streaming video posts is
already limiting the content available to us who are still able to
steal some productive time from our employers. (Just kidding; I
work about 60-70 hrs per week and being able to access H&R from
the office keeps me sane.)

OMG, Reason Is on Facebook!!!!
Messages from invisible sources, or what some people think of as
progress.
Bad news. Tries against our interests is our sole communications
from strangers, so by all means, let's plant poles all across the
country, festoon the cocksucker with wires to hurry the sorry word
and blinker our judgments of motive, huh?
Ain't the state of things cloudy enough? Don't we face enough
fucking imponderables?
Al Swearengen|6.20.08 @ 6:55PM|#

And you ain't exactly the one to be leveling criticisms on the
score of being slow to adapt. You fucking people are the original
slow fucking learners!
|6.20.08 @ 8:29PM|#
Well, the Facebook star system is largely built on how many
friends you have. Me, I just laugh when someone's profile claims
they have 5,000 friends, but many take it seriously. I know one guy
who just randomly "friends" people he doesn't know to up his friend
count, and he tells me about half of them accept, no questions
asked. Sort of a prisoners dilemma, I guess.
Of course, due to these kinds of abuses of friending, there are
applications available where you select a fraction of your friends
as your "Top Friends", which creates all sorts of drama in its own
right. So then you have to put all of your friends on Top Friends
also to keep them from getting pissed.

Last year I created a profile for a mutant squirrel that lives
on my campus as an in joke, then forgot about it. When I remembered
it about a month later, I logged in under the squirrel's name to
see if I'd gotten any friend requests, and there were literally
hundreds, mostly from other animals! Turns out there's a whole
network of people who make Facebook profiles for their pets.
The internet is a strange place.

I see crymethink has mutated and evolved yet again.
Fascinating.
Chicks dig guys who spout feminist bullshit. Who knew?
I have a buddy who's a Philosophy major and Women's Studies minor. Pure fucking genius.

Couldn't be happier with the relationship between Reason and Facebook. Actually, I'm appreciative of the invites I now get to some Reason events as a result of joining Facebook. The Facebook/Reason relationship is beneficial to those of free minds/free markets philosophy.

Who also happen to live in the DC area. Since I don't, they
generate more of an "I'm having a party and you can't come ha ha ha
