Hot Topics:
Fanart, and sourcing it. You've noticed that here at Vice we try, but let's face it-- most of the time the fanart is being spread out at 4chan and other sites that don't provide any links, signatures are rare, and it's even more rare for a signature to be readable. Would you guys rather we truncated art posts and only included those we could find links for? Or do you prefer our general policy, which has been “post 'em, and if readers know who it is, encourage them to link to the artist in the comments”?Tweets of Note:
We gotta fight! For our right! To siiiiiimulcast!

I think I'm going to leave it there for the time being-- there's SO much going on I could do this for hours. What do you guys think? Do I need more of this? Less? Who else should I be following? INFLUENCE ME!
You should be following your own path.
true enlightenment comes from the realizations made within oneself, regardless of the outside stimuli that prompted it.
twitter is a fad that will die in 2 years:
At best, people will realize that twitter is just a tool, a way to point people toward real news, longer posts of opinion, nifty pictures, or even whole sites of note -- but still just a pointer, not a platform :: that, and twitter does nothing new: any and all platforms currently available on the web (blogs, web sites, web fora, social networking sites, 'official' sites and even things like IM & IRC) can do (and have done) what twitter does -- and the best parts of twitter will be co-opted by programs with more functionality.
So yes, follow what your heart tells you to follow, but do not mistake the medium for the message.
