Objectively the best thing I’ve read all day.

You should realize that everything about Alex Jones is much easier to take if you just sort of accept everything he says as a kind of surrealist stream-of-consciousness performance art, accompanied by rotoscoped animation like his scene in WAKING LIFE. “My mind exploded with hundreds of data points”! Remarkable!

“The Brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff, who faces re-election in October, has declared security to be a priority, suggesting unnamed forces are conspiring against her. ;Today, there is a systematic campaign against the World Cup – or rather, it is not against the World Cup but rather a systematic campaign against us,’ the president said during a speech in the host city of Porto Alegre at the weekend.” You’re damned right it’s against you, and everything that police-state government and corporate-state spectacles like the World Cup represent. Down with FIFA. Down with the Brazilian government. Up with the strikers.

lol listen to Uncle Dave Macon

The Obama administration is very concerned about the rights of undocumented children, which is why they don’t allow you to see photographs of how atrociously they are treating them. In reality of course there is one and only one “humanitarian” solution to this appalling violation of human rights: to release all detainees immediately and abolish any threat of detention or deportation. Nobody should ever be thrown into hellhole detention centers, and nobody should ever be deported, simply for coming from the wrong side of a political boundary. #NotOneMore #NiUnaMas #AbolishBorders #EndInternationalApartheid

T minus 2 1/2 weeks until Lisboa . . .

Another day, another astonishingly dishonest handling of sources by cheerleaders for the reputation of Robert E. Lee. In which (*) a book that says “Although these letters are dismissed by most of Lee’s biographers as exaggerated, or simply as unfounded abolitionist propaganda, they are hard to ignore. . . .” is quoted to say “these letters are dismissed by most of Lee’s biographers as exaggerated or simply as unfounded abolitionist propaganda.” (* Check out how Korda 2014 is used by Rjensen in the first edit, and then note what the fuller quote says when I repaired it in the second edit.) http://ift.tt/1pSUE8h http://ift.tt/SoIVzN

Q: “If you could advocate for one change in the justice system, what would it be? And what piece of evidence did the prosecutors focus on the most? EricGlisson: “That prosecutors and detectives be held accountable for their actions if they cover up evidence.” http://ift.tt/1oiESBo

The funny thing about this quiz is the notion that people in the Middle Ages had any choice over their profession or that it had anything to do with what they liked. A more accurate quiz would have three questions: 1. Are you female? (Y/N) 2. If N, what did your father do? 3. If Y, what does your husband do?
