  • It’s only an anecdote, but I was raised in a very white town and watched a ton of TV growing up. I was a political nerd in elementary school. Needless to say, I was very cool…

    Anyways. When I left my small town I discovered that much of what I learned from my parents, my community, and the TV was very, very racist. If you don’t have a lot of minorities, and the only information is coming from racist, you just don’t know better. I was lucky to end up around a lot of minorities who helped me get past my bigotry, which they had no obligation to do, they were just cool people like that.

    In short, if you don’t know a lot of black, brown, gay, or trans people, they become a blank canvas for bad actors.


  • It’s how the Tea Party did it. They had annoying fuckers everywhere with booths (or just a table and a chair). One was about NASA being a huge waste of money. I even wasted my time and explained why that was the dumbest agency to go after (time wasted because they weren’t listening). But after America elected their first black president, these mother fuckers were pissed and letting everyone know it.

    I really hope we do our own Tea Party and primary all these good-for-nothing, nazi-enabling, out-of-touch Dems. I suggest replacing all Democratic Representatives with homeless people. Those are some people with the some experience with how our systems really work.




  • On one hand I hate that reckless moves Trump is making and the terrible repercussions that they don’t give a shit about. On the other hand, American “help” often comes at ludicrous costs for those receiving it. It’s like all those “free” Apple computers given to classrooms, that also helped Apple become one of the most powerful corporations of all time.

    America has praised capitalism as the ultimate good, money as the supreme truth and now the world gets to see the end result of people who follow this myopic gospel: a country ran by paid-off puppets by those who own it all.



  • I think the biggest problem in this whole debacle is the utter opaqueness offered by China when trying to get to the source. Is this China’s fault? Well hold on. While this accident may have happened in China, China’s lax attitude toward safety precautions are an open secret. It’s much like the shady labor practices in, well China for one, that we turn a blind eye to. Why?Because it’s cheaper. So partly it is the unevenly applied and audited safety standards. If people are giving China research money, then those labs should be held to an international standard.

    Arguing there is no evidence is extremely disingenuous when Chinese government hid most of it. One should be careful about saying “There is no evidence.” too confidently. At a certain point it sounds like an accomplishment and not a result.








  • Fuck Lost. “It’s better to never reveal the mystery!” That was the guiding principle, to just cake on mystery and keep audiences following like a laser pointer and a cat. I’m an advocate for free speech, but if someone made a law outlawing that kind of storytelling, it might cause my resolve to waver. At least Stephen King will write an ending, even if it’s the third deus ex machina in a row, you’ll get an ending!
