Via David Isenberg:

The 50 most recent pix uploaded to livejournal, updated every 60 seconds. Some really great stuff. Occasionally NSFW, occasionally shocking, never a dull 60 sec.

You might not get through the current 50 before the next bunch pops up and you get sucked further in.
Warnings: Addictive, may not be work safe, may be offensive, may be extremely wierd or may be plain ol’ mundane.
PS: The person doing this must have oodles of bandwidth. Just in case not, though, this is cool enough to warrant a click or two on the adds.

Free Love or Free Sex?

So what was with the sixties? Alina reviews David Allyn’s new book Make Love, Not War and calls it a

must-browse for anyone interested in the social and cultural history of American political movements.

And concludes:

Allyn’s most valuable insight is his strong distinction between free love and free sex. Contemporary culture a la Maxim tends to conflate the two. Liberation from sexual repression is a far cry from a compulsion to “muck around” (to borrow the Aussie term) with the bar-hopefuls.

Read the rest of her review and,yes, I think I’ll at least browse the book.
