Ode to Spot - Data

“Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature,
An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature;
Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses
Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
A singular development of cat communications
That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion,
It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display
Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.”

Riker and Troi were pretty much married most of the series.

that awkward moment when you meet a friend at a party and she informs you that person you snarked on tumblr the other day was her.

At what point does having parody news sites that are indistinguishable from real news sites become a serious problem for media literacy?

Also, I don’t know if I blame the news or the parody news.

Which amounts to the same thing, more or less. 
Sorry for being pessimistic, but I really believe everything eventually turns to shit once it reaches a certain point, and it’s especially true of websites. It happened to LiveJournal, MySpace, Flickr, etc. I’ve seen enough sites go up and down to know that nothing is eternal.
It’s not so much the fact that Yahoo bought it, it’s the fact that Tumblr is at that stage in its life where it’s become so huge and expensive that it has no choice but to change in order to remain profitable. If Tumblr was not making money before it was bought by Yahoo, how can anybody believe that it’s going to remain exactly the same and Yahoo will just pay the bills? Why would Yahoo spend over a billion dollars to acquire a website that is losing money and then proceed to not change anything and let it continue to hemorrhage dollars. That doesn’t really make any sense. At some point Tumblr is going to have to find a way to make money or Yahoo is going to cut its losses and shut it down. The fact that it’s going to be run “independently” doesn’t mean that Yahoo is just going to let them piss all their money away and not hold them accountable for it.

Whatever that means. 
But for the record I don’t actually care that much. For me, this is more symbolic than anything else. I think by the time a company like Yahoo! buys a social network, it’s a sign that the social network in question is past its prime. It’s all downhill from here.
