According to The Atlantic, the new technology will provide banks with a platform to review your Facebook friends, and if too many of them have poor credit, the bank can reject your application… The patent reads: When an individual applies for a loan, the lender examines the credit ratings of members of the individual’s social network who are connected to the individual through authorized nodes. If the average credit rating of these members is at least a minimum credit score, the lender continues to process the loan application. Otherwise, the loan application is rejected… Aaron Rieke, the director of tech policy at Upturn, says that it’s unlikely Facebook will make this feature available to financial institutions anytime in the near future… “It would really surprise me if they decided to get into the credit-scoring business, just because I think that’s going to make people feel panicked and uncomfortable.” [ MadameNoire ] “Native American” Dartmouth College Director Removed From Position Following Suspicion About Ancestry It looks like Rachel Dolezal has a spirit animal, and her name is Susan Taffe Reed. According to the Wall Street Journal, Reed, who says that she is of both European and Native American descent, was recently fired from her position as Dartmouth College’s Native American Program Director after multiple Native American tribes and Dartmouth alumni raised questions about her ancestry and tribal affiliation. Valley News reports that Reed’s new position with the college was announced on September 11. The announcement referred to Reed as “an ethnomusicologist and the president of the Eastern Delaware Nations.” Currently, the federal government recognizes three Delaware tribes as descendants of Native Americans cast out of their ancestral homelands centuries ago—the Eastern Delaware Nations is not one of them. And apparently, many of Dartmouth’s Native American alumni feel that the Eastern Delaware Nations is an organization filled with “pretendians.”… [ MadameNoire ] Lupe Fiasco Responds To The Game’s “Dollar & A Dream” Jab Most Internet savvy rap heads are well aware a streamrip of The Game’s anticipated seventh studio album, The Documentary 2 leaked a week ahead of schedule. If you’re not aware, we suggest you want to buy it on iTunes for the best quality listening experience but that’s besides the point. One of the records gaining traction amongst social media conversation is the Ab-Soul-featured “Dollar & A Dream,” where Game gives Lupe Fiasco a name drop that could be perceived in a variety of ways. “I put it on a head I ain’t talkin no toupee,” The Compton rapper spits. “I stayed the same ain’t go weird like Lupe.” Brother Fiasco would likely refer to himself as more refined than when he first entered the music industry circa 2006 and he offered up a response on his Twitter with the video for Radiohead’s 1992 debut single, “Creep.” [ HipHopWired ] Could A Follow Up To Lauryn Hill’s ‘Miseducation’ Be In The Works?

Perhaps it’s just my bleeding-heart, Catholic nature, but I tend to feel at least a pang of sympathy for even the most despicable of subjects. So I actually feel a bit bad for both Grown-Ups and Knight and Day . I mean, sure, they’re both lazy variations of genre films that already have been ground into dull, formulaic powder, but you have to feel just a smidge bad that they brought their already-crappy game against the dynamic, heartfelt Toy Story 3 , surely one of the best movies of the year. And once again, it was Toy Story 3 that ruled the box office roost, while Adam Sandler and company pulled in a respectable second place, and Tom Cruise thanked the floating celestial ghost of L. Ron Hubbard that he didn’t completely eat it at third. Grab your commemorative Knight and Day travel pillow and click on for the hard numbers.
When I was first married, my mother-in-law told me not to bother serving my husband leftovers because he and his sister had always refused to eat what they called “used food”.
