draadnagel asks: He, your Guy Fieri Menu is a bit of a clusterfuck at this point. The guy who posted it, @BryanMytko, apparently didn't know that all the jokes were stolen from twitter users @a_girl_ir , @DinkMagic and @autisticpet and there seems to be some confusion and anger all round at this point. Would you mind giving the proper people credit for this funny piece?

» SFB says: Just an FYI internet—the Guy Fieri menu we posted last night has stolen jokes so its funny is second-hand at best. Here’s the evidence. You can all be sad now. — Ernie @ SFB

Diaspora co-founder dies at 22: A year and a half ago, thousands of people donated to the Diaspora project, an attempt to create an open-source equivalent to Facebook. While the initial energy around the product passed, the four members of the group continued their hard work and have a quickly-growing open source project to their credit. So it pains us to say that Ilya Zhitomirskiy, one of the four people in this screenshot (he’s second from left), died on Saturday. (Edit: The cause of death hasn’t been confirmed.) So young. So quickly. And a huge amount of potential there, based on his hard work with Diaspora. Best of luck to that entire team.
