Memo to termites
If you’re so attracted to light, there’s a god damn sun on all during the daytime you can feel free to mob.
Fucking things.

thank you for being a friend
Each and every one of the five guys in this video, including Andrew Gold who I assume is the responsible party, had to try to find something in himself that would make doing this alright.
And I think they succeeded. Every face is at peace with the schmaltz.
It’s a sweet song.
This is not my favorite version of Radiation Vibe
but it’s still awesome.
Hem’s cover is my go-to version.

Dolores O’Riordan
I love Dolores O’Riordan’s story. I’m a sucker for poor Irish lasses.

Never stood a chance
The Hispaniolan Edible Rat became extinct no later than 1546 AD.
Other species that were wiped out shortly after European settlement include the Cucumber-faced Lumbering Delicious Sloth of Massapequa and the Flightless Ham-sandwiched Lardbird of Nova Scotia.
The world has become less tasty for their loss.

Who are the adults of the adult world? Lawyers. That’s why everybody hates them, and nobody can do without them.

$151,000, just sitting there in a market-tracking account, makes as much money every year as a full-time minimum-wage worker.

Trump is a moron.
In a Vanity Fair story:
“Recent allegations made by media commentator Judge Andrew Napolitano about G.C.H.Q. being asked to conduct ‘wiretapping’ against the then president-elect are nonsense,” the British spy agency said in a notably pointed statement. “They are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored.”
This is the first evidence I’ve seen that foreign governments think Trump is an authentic moron, and they have no qualms with politely saying so out loud. Good for foreign governments!
Q: “What do you think about the people who came up with this crazy-ass conspiracy idea?”
A: “They are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored.”
Later in the story, Trump refuses to apologize, and says he was only quoting someone: “All we did was quote a very talented legal mind.” Hey, you can probably walk fifty paces in any direction from your chair in the Oval Office and find somebody standing there who knows the answer, and will tell it to you. You god-damned moron. This “I don’t know, I read it somewhere” shit is horrifying coming from the president of the United States and needs to stop.

Let’s keep one thing straight
People, the only reason we know about things is the press. People.
We wouldn’t know about Russia or China or global warming or Trump or Wikileaks without the press. We wouldn’t know fuck-all. The press is *how* we’re free.
People, people, people.

exciting times
If Hillary Clinton is elected, it will mark only the second time that a married couple has been elected individually to the Presidency, following Grover Cleveland and husband Benjamin Cleveland Harrison. Truly a remarkable accomplishment.

salute to progress
We die more complicatedly and with more nuance than ever before. In comparison, the ways our fathers and mothers died were larks, pieces of cake. Smug, but as citizens of the 21st century, the best century, we’re entitled to be smug.
I imagine a hundred years from now people will look back at the desperately uncomplicated ways we died in the 21st century and chuckle, but I also imagine those people to be insufferably smug, insufferably so.

First they came for the dipshits, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a dipshit. Then they came for the asshats, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t an asshat. Then they came for the fuckwits, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a fuckwit. Then they came for me, lol.
