Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

Americans need to reconcile that this is pretty much what the Obama-era drone strikes were. Any time a prior administration abused its power and it was greeted by a shrug because “we’re the good guys” - this is why you shouldn’t do that.

It cannot get lost in the shuffle, even with so much else going on, that the world's most wealthy people have had their minds absolutely rotted out, just saturated to the dripping point with black mold down to the studs and frame, by the all encompassing unhumanity of their wealth.

In 2002, Trent Lott had to resign as Minority Leader because he appeared to endorse Strom Thurmond's segregationist presidential candidacy. It is simply impossible to imagine a Republican resigning from political leadership for that comment today. The idea does not even make sense.

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute learned that the Government of Ontario, Canada, created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan delivering his "Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade," dated April 25, 1987. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter. We encourage you to watch President Reagan's unedited video on our YouTube channel.

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish.

The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

Zuckerberg can't even be fucked to pretend that his pervert glasses are for anyone other than sex criminals and war criminals.

He wouldn't even understand why you might want to tell normal people how the product will benefit them.

It's interesting how when google glass first came out, Google at least tried to *pretend* its main use case wasn't for perverts and gestapo. They were like, look doctors can use this, architects! Augmented reality plumbers!

Zuckerberg can't even be fucked to pretend it has any non-evil uses.

Guillermo Del Toro: "Horror is made of such base material—so easily rejected or dismissed—that it may be hard to accept my postulate that within the genre lies one of the last refuges of spirituality in our materialistic world."

we simply do not talk enough about how much of modern capitalism has pivoted away from providing goods and services in exchange for money and into inconveniencing and harassing people with fees, surcharges, and delayed invoicing for long enough that they give you money just to make it stop

To accomplish his object Ahab must use tools; and of all tools used in the shadow of the moon, men are most apt to get out of order.

Moby Dick moved on, still withholding from sight the full terrors of his submerged trunk, entirely hiding the wrenched hideousness of his jaw.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Don't fall for it. They know the tide is turning and are doing what they can to save their own asses. Cops are not your friends. Cops literally have no professional obligation to protect you from harm.

are people seriously unable to rotate "the ACA is exponentially better than the nightmare we had before it" and "the ACA fell far short of what should be considered an adequate healthcare system for a country with this level of wealth" simultaneously?

The hematologist Oswald H. Robertson pioneered the idea of "blood banks" in WWI by packing glass jars of citrated blood from universal donors in an ice-filled chest that he had constructed from ammunition cases. He convinced countless others to donate blood during the war.
