Oh my god this is such a rich seam: http://lav.io/2014/05/transform-any-text-into-a-patent-application/ - Using some really impressive looking Python libraries for text processing to mine public domain literature for phrases that fit into Patent titles and claims. Includes awesomely ridiculous patent claims derived from the Communist Manifesto.
One of the argument against taking these minorities into account is the plain old ”demanding special treatment is just a way to use power”.
That is, the privileged are OK with a minority so far as it happens with the terms of the privileged, but as soon as the minority people demand their own terms, it is seen as dirty playing.
And also, it seems that some minorities are more 'sexy' than others.
So, readings in this topic, please!

Hey folks! Could you drop me links to some basic readings (preferably online articles) on the following topic.
Our small #coop is very progressive and certain minorities are endorsed and listened to by default, because they are so well represented up to the highest levels.
But at the same time some other minorities are disregarded and even bullied against, even though they, too, are represented up to the highest level.

The texts are in Finnish, as the book is in Finnish, but I guess you can still enjoy the imagery and music.

Let's have a game with happy and sad music.
When you hear the happy music, play your rhythm sticks, or plank — just as you did before.

I've been looking for @usercount to have exactly +1337 users in the last week, because #1337.
But those damn new users can't get their act synchronized and the counter never hits the exact number.
Hey I have a question about #resonate #stream2own player.
There is a list for favourites — but how can you mark a song as a favourite? I can't find any button for that.
