It IS possible.

They sure as hell don't make it appealing. Judgmental hateful people, for the most part. I've known good Christians, but they are far outweighed by the weird, smug, judgmental ones.

When I was working for tips, born again Christians would routinely leave me pamphlets in lieu of a proper tip . Cash was never an option for them. Shows how much they really follow the teachings of Jesus.

He did indeed. (Though, professionally speaking, math might have been more useful.)

I was the same before everything went digital. I have a photo album for about every year of my life from age 14 up to about age 40. I'm in a surprising number of the photos. The ones from college don't bother me at all; I was pretty cute then. Didn't realize it at the time. Silly how that works!

Well, naturally!!
Mine is from a photo taken at a con, with Andy Robinson. I'd had (friendly) words with the photographer after a former photo disappointed me, and he remembered, and lit me well, taking time to adjust things. It's one of my favorite photos of myself. And I HATE photos of myself.

If your picture is a recent one, that's absolutely true. I cheat; I use an older picture. I'm just fonder of it.

He looks like the villain in a movie about anything from child wizards to Wall Street racketeers, to people striking, because factories have poisoned their water supply. You name the genre, he fits the villain role.

Now I'm thinking the mini-series (Wild Palms) probably didn't run on Australian tv. It was pretty niche even in the states.

Nope. You win. But not by much!!

Just younger than I am.

The fact they are familiar with both Yeats, and Wild Palms is deeply impressive to me.

No, but cute try. You are likely too young for this one.

They are so horrifyingly evocative!!

🏆 Gold stars!! Two people got this. I honestly thought I was the only person who remembered this series (I have it on VHS) Warner and Dourif were the high points for me. (But I already crushed on both so that's hardly surprising.)

Wow!! I didn't expect anyone to get it. Gold star for you! I thought Warner was wonderful in that show. The only problem with that show was that everyone I liked died. Kind of a bummer.

How anyone can look at, and, more importantly, llisten to Steven Miller, and not see pure evil, is beyond me. He doesn't hide it; he's a Nazi through and through.

Could not agree more. The failure of our national media is one of the biggest causes of the situation we now find ourselves in. It is a situation that needs more attention and much more protesting. Our media has turned into a propaganda machine, and we've allowed it to happen.

I've been told the whole plan is to tear the system down so that it can all be made corporation run, and more profitable for shareholders. But it really seems, at the moment, that he just wants to fucking kill everyone.

I'm not so sure. National media has managed to turn a blind eye to most things really happening in all parts of the country.

Looking for a female that recorded a fight on Saturday 8/16 around 10:30pm at the Hollywood park casino. She has a lot of information that can help my friend who was brutally attacked and is currently in coma fighting for his life. Thank you.

Questions
(written quickly by me)

Remember when ice was nice?
A cooling thing to add to a drink.
When did it turn into frozen hearts,
Which hate more than they think?
How do we melt the ICE?
How do we stop its freezing stings?
I go to protests and say the chants
It doesn't seem to mean a thing

Nice try, but too artistic. And, to be fair, probably still too organized. The fatal flaw is that it contains no undressed adolescent girls. But I understand that would make it unfit for social media. Or anything. Except for those scumbags, who are still getting away with it. Release the damn files!

(And Marilyn Manson stole it. This predates him. So cross him off the list.)

A gold star for anyone who can identify the source of this quote (it's a very deep cut):
"I have a case of mood poisoning. Must be something I hate."

Here. I posted it just for vous!!

That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

(Prophetic, no?)

#Yeats

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
