What a perfect test-tube to illustrate the facts of psychology and society: society naturally layers itself into the competent, energetic, creative, and determined on top, making the decisions and prospering, with lazy, disorganized, unambitious and mostly unintelligent sorts making up the lower levels and resenting their betters.

All I can say is “twinkles up”!

Or if you're poor and don't have a laptop, it's *twinkles down.*

Mr.K? A little help here?

[wastedyears]

In an environment like that, it’s more like “tinkles down...”

[SERKIT]

Well then I’ll have to block (arms crossed in an X), then demand a point of process (both hands up, thumbs and index fingers touching), then “got your nose”, then detached thumb....it’s a whole new world.

[Allegra]

If you block, I'm going to report you to that female-bodied person, Mustard. I mean, Mayonnaise. Or is it Ranch Dressing? Horseradish?

Well, you know....that female-bodied person.

LOL. That’s a great video.

So the drum circle wasn’t invited to the Deutche Bank Atrium for the Occupy leadership conference where decisions were being made on how to create a “horizontal, leaderless society”.

Napoleon was holding his pig conference in the farmer's house. The lesser animals were not invited.

Orwell really "got" these people.

Great photo.

[parisa]

Brilliant! Even more effective that it was from their own side, though I wish it was our side!

[SaraJohnson]

That was funny. Thanks.

I was baffled by that guy. What is the difference between personal property and private property, eh? And this “I want a society where everyone has access....” we have that. They’re called LIBRARIES and some of the ones in Los Angeles have been pretty much taken over by the homeless.

I love that interviewer, especially the comment:
“”Is there a course in condescension that everyone is taking here?”

I never watch Jon Stewart - is that supposed to be live, ‘cause it sounds like it has a laugh track to me.

[paudio]

And how did they keep their laptops and electronics charged?

Plugged into the outlet at the nearest Starbucks while sipping their caramel machiatto?

[NewHampshireDuo]

Ping for normal hours reading.

They even have an Apple pop-up store at Zucotti park. These hippy& lib& commie protesters only use high priced Apple devices. This would make a great advertisement for Apple

[Right Wing Assault]

Ah, so the 99% has its own “1%”.

[wastedyears]

LOL Nice
