Co-founder of Reddit, Aaron Swartz, hanged himself. He was many things, a hacker, a free information activist, a tech guru. The 26 year old was soon to be charged for what amounts to ‘checking out millions of library books’ from JSTOR. The federal case was on shaky legal footing, but could have netted him decades …

I’ve been getting reports of questionable items available at Post Exchange / Base Exchange stores on military bases. We’ve had mixed luck in the past, for various reasons. What we’re looking for are certain books way beyond the standard Bible-variants (365-day, various translations, etc.) Specifically, if you see anything from David Barton on a military …

They’re also used in Uganda to brainwash kids against Jews, gays, and witches. via Talk2Action: The publisher claims that millions of copies of Manga Messiah have been distributed in countries around the globe, from Uganda …

Armor of Light is a ministry that currently gets a lot of special treatment on the USMC base, Camp Pendleton (near San Diego). They recently posted this ridiculous picture on one of their facebook walls. You might need to see this one embiggened. The fellow with the sunburn has 2 biceps on one arm. He’s …

Camp Pendleton’s decision to reject our proposal violates federal ethics regulations. This is certainly a huge step in the wrong direction. We’re still willing to work with officials before the San Diego area Marine Corps base is entrenched in a legal battle they can’t possibly win. We’ve received mixed signals from Camp Pendleton in trying …

(Slightly) NSFW image below the fold.
The free festival on Fort Bragg's Main Post Parade Field was a massive success! Expect updates, highlights, and other footage over the next few months.
UPDATE: A second festival is in the works for Camp Pendleton - a large Marine Corps base near San Diego, CA. Summer 2013
