We don't retweet the bigots.
We don't dunk the bigots.
We don't hand them an oxygen mask because they're tired from all the screaming.
Clicks are air.
Outrage is air.
Every time we do this they live rent free in our heads.
Evict them.

Superman is American Moses. He’s been written as a Christ metaphor repeatedly. His super power isn’t his invulnerability, his speed his strength, it’s the values Ma and Pa Kent instilled in him, that he should use his powers to listen, to be kind, to help the least of us.

That’s why they’re pissed

Jake And Quips A look at the career of one of the finest yet least appreciated voices of the sixties – Jake Thackray.

Jake Thackray - satirist, joker, protest singer, folk singer, pop star and social commentator rolled into one, whose records are among the most inventively arranged of the late sixties. Once he was all over television and radio, now he's barely mentioned.

A black and red curtain sticking out of a window looking like one of the capes that Jon Pertwee wore as the 3rd Doctor, though it could have equally applied to Dracula, in which case he probably got stuck and his body turned to ash when the Sun came up...
