squashed: “Freedom isn’t free.” — This frequently quoted aphorism isn’t true. Freedom is free. That’s the whole point of freedom. Any libertarian will tell you that. Security isn’t free. Consumption isn’t free. And taking away other people’s freedom can be horrendously expensive—particularly when it involves occupying other countries. But freedom is...

Tumblr’s been all over this for a while, albeit less explicitly than Amazon or the mockup in this article. (via daring fireball)

Tiny Desk Concerts: Thao Nguyen →
On a big Tiny Desk Concerts binge thanks to Maguire. As much as I love this performance, Thao’s better when she’s rocking out with the Get Down Stay Down than when she’s flying solo.
