You have been warned!
The Cablegate saga and rumours of Julian Assange’s impending arrest have reignited the flurry of media outlets who are saying that he is being charged with rape and molestation.
At times the number of news outlets saying this has grown so large that even those people who know the real details have started to doubt their own memories.
So I thought it was time that I weighed in and reminded everyone of what really happened, and what is happening now.
Who? Who feels Goodman?? D:
There has been some discussion about why social memes seem to spread so quickly through society and also why it is that they always seem to change just enough to remain interesting, while still keeping their essential features.
I’ve got a few theories about that, but the big one is this: spreading a meme correctly gives some sort of psychological payoff to the person who spreads it.
So spreading exciting things feels good, even when the things you are spreading are downright horrible.
