[Edit: White Tree of Gondor]
I have been in the throes of a Tolkien-related wikipedia binge, and it got me thinking that it would be cool to decorate one or two things in my place (like shower curtains or towels or something) with the white tree of gondor, because it looks cool, and people wouldn't necessarily know it is a Lord of the Rings thing.  They'd just be like, cool, white tree.  Anyway.

I fount this page (beward clicking on it!):

I was shocked to see my facebook profile image on the page.  Fucking bastards autologged me in with facebook.  There is a new privacy antifeature called "Instant Personalization" where facebook gives away your personal invitate to websites you visit.  I am trying to disable it now, but I can't because I am apparently not enrolled.

Blocking facebook from inserting its slutty fingers in your web browsing experience appears to be more difficult than I anticipated:

Looks like the key here is that the facebook crap that appears on these pages is coming from facebook itself, which makes it more annoying to block.  Ugh.

If you don't understand what the big deal is, go outside, build a big bonfire, and jump into it.

[Update]
These instructions look good:

http://dhcollier.com/articles/disabling_facebook_connect_nonfacebook_websites

I don't know how to describe this right because I have facebook in Pirate mode, but finding this and unchecking will reduce some of the harm facebook does:

Include me in "People Here Now" after I check in 


And there is an entire category called "things other share."  Wow.


[Update 2]
Followed these instructions, and it finally worked:
