No, I'm not kidding. Gawker is starting their holiday gift guides this year with gifts for people you hate and the five stupidest kinds of Christmas gifts. The first category shows some cruel creativity. The second shows absolutely no creativity. Both of them ask for comments from readers. This being Gawker, the commenters are pretty inventive and open, enough so that one comment was elevated into an article of its own: Comment of the Day: Are you there God? It’s me, Summer’s Eve. Yes, it's exactly what you think it is. It should come as no surprise that it was inspired by "Gifts for people you hate."
A blog about societal, cultural, and civilizational collapse, and how to stave it off or survive it. Named after the legendary character "Crazy Eddie" in Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle's "The Mote in God's Eye." Expect news and views about culture, politics, economics, technology, and science fiction.
