help I can’t breathe

I love oblique deadpan sarcasm in official documents. It’s one of my favorite things?

Nope nope nope. This is some bullshit. Public exposure provides legitimacy. The only proper response to racists, in any and every situation, is to yell at them, loudly and repeatedly, to FUCK OFF with their racist bullshit.¹ The only proper action, as a measure of public policy, is to cast them out of every part of…

That was the original plan, but then Your New Boyfriend Lin-Manuel Miranda blew your panties right off with his hiphop concept opera about Alexander “the ten-dolla father” Hamilton, so they decided to keep him there.

I got that vibe way back when she broke out in Winter’s Bone. There’s a scene where she skins a dead squirrel, which the producers had acquired as roadkill. So she was on interviews and was all, “yeah, suck it, PETA! #sorrynotsorry.” See, while animal-lovers might be sad a squirrel got killed by a car, if it were…

I don’t believe in ghosts at all, and have never been inside a death chamber (I also hope I am never so much as near one). However, (slightly OT, sorry), I have been to Auschwitz-Birkenau, and that place felt fucking awful. The dogs in the surrounding neighborhood sense it, too, and bark all the time.

I admire your dedication, I’ve been binging since October and am only on season 3.

Related: the Hex Clock and the Colour Clock are both lovely sites to stare at for a while.

OT: the pic at the top represents a deeply-flawed pooping position. This is how you give yourselves (robot-?) hemorrhoids, people!

What are the odds that the inaugural committee simply decides that, yeah … actually they’re gonna need to go ahead and use all the permits, so no protests allowed?

Good Lawd, Yahoo uses an incredibly shitty Flash player :( Both videos froze after five seconds of playback. Get into the 21st century, assholes!

ETA: here’s that comment.

True, but there, too, is cause for some optimism: there was an article a year or two ago about an almost completely unreported revolution in the was the US plans and approves utilities projects. A dedicated group, working at the local level, has stopped nearly every coal-fired power plant in its tracks. Coupled with…

There’s an excellent article from a while back (I think right after the Charlie Hebdo attacks) by Cracked’s David Wong that makes the following argument: the fight in modern times is not between “us” and “them,” the winner to be determined by whichever one is still alive at the end. That’s the world of our ancestors…

What I came here to say. Republicans have been rolling Democrats, at every level (FFS, how long ago did they basically concede the statehouse game?), and Democrats pat themselves on the back because John Oliver or Samantha Bee “eviscerated” some shit Drumpf said the other day.

If you’d been reading David Wong’s pieces for the last few years, you wouldn’t have been surprised. Some of his stuff is scarily on-point, and I think a lot of the writers have decided that the platform they earned themselves by churning out dick jokes is something they have a responsibility to use (every now and…

To be perfectly honest, a billionaire huckster arriviste who got rich through strategic bankruptcy and retaliatory lawsuits conning his way into the Presidency on a campaign of racism, homophobia, fascism, and misogyny, only for it to become immediately apparent that he has no idea how to do anything and is…

A’ight motherfuckers, time for you to get your shit straight with mulled wine. Where I live (Perverted Yurp), the Christmas Village opens up mid-November, and seriously like half the stalls are mulled wine, and the whole damn town shows up, and everybody spends the next six weeks getting old-school trashed. They take…

OT, here is some righteous social-justice slam poetry. It starts:

I am reminded of the spectacular Channel 4 holiday bumpers from a few years back, full of exploding carolers and giant robot santas driving slaves and exploding reindeer and shit.
