TNG: In Case You Missed It – 1/23/09

It’s been a shortened week here at TNG, but a busy one for most of you (for fairly obvious reasons), so if you want to get caught up on what we’ve been up to since Wednesday, we’ve got just what you need. The reason for the abbreviated schedule left us with lots of questions and feelings about the future of the country, and we were glad we got to share them with you and hear your thoughts in return. So feel free to add your two cents to any post and keep the conversation going.

And here, presented with minimal clicking required, is what you may have missed this week on TNG.

This week:


In Commentary:

• Ben questioned the happiness which social networking sites provide and contemplated the drastic act of Facebook suicide.

• With the Inauguration of President Barack Obama, a new day has dawned. What do you think it means for the future of the LGBT community?

• We witnessed an epic battle between two lesbian miniseries In The Ladies’ Room. Who do you think ended up on top?

• We spoke to our bellies. They may or may not have spoken back.

• Corey explained the legend of the Fruit Fly and dispelled some popular myths surrounding them.

• Eightmaps.com put some of us into a moral conundrum and made us ask some serious questions about the tactics used in achieving equal rights.


In Music:

• Rocky provided us with an inspirational soundtrack for the week and beyong.

• We offered you an opportunity to win tickets to Saturday night’s Yo! Majesty show.


Also:

• We gave you a head's up on some options for the weekend.

• We surveyed the TNG staff to find out what Obama's first acts as President should be. How would you have answered?
