Hey Watson

sup

Looking for new music.

Roll these guys into your playlist.

The Isla Visa Shooter, Elliot Roger, was disturbing to the highest level

It almost makes me wonder how many of those people might be capable of such an act.

All of them. Everybody. People are not a nice creation, once our illusions of order are taken away. The only people 'Incapable' of a mass killing are the ones with poor aim.

But look at the bright side. We've gotten really really goddamn good at suppressing our violent tendencies. We've come a long way since Eye for an Eye. Heck, even people in the army are more likely to die in a motorcycle accident than they are to get shot. We've got an impressive society, and these breaches only emphasize that fact. Human nature is ugly and we have made ourselves awesome.

EDIT: This may seem in poor taste. Let me know if I've been a little too blaise, I'll..... ech. My instinct now is to take it down but I think I'll leave it here until/unless someone asks, and then I've got no qualms deleting this post.

Fate and circumstance have returned us to this moment, when the tea cup shatters.

I liked hannibal. Then I went off and watched True Detective, and it was better in every conceivable way, and after that I couldn't really get excited for hannibal anymore.

Russia vs Metal

ShonHarris said
Pussy Riot has a long, sorted past with Russia besides the incident that supposedly led to the arrest. The language used describing them has gotten as extreme as 'terrorists' and all too often they, and those like that, have been battered in response for their protesting. Many of the groups who push for recognition of women's rights will show up very exposed, literally topless, but the police habitually come armed to the tooth and brutal despite the clear lack of protection or weaponry. While short snippets of events can seem extreme, it's important to consider that oppression is not ended quietly. American activists for human rights do not quietly request those immediately around them to perhaps consider another mode of thought. You have to wake people up to see another perspective.

You're not wrong. Even Rosa Parks climbed on the bus with the intention of going to prison -- that's a means to an end, and the end is the message. A just message is worth the cost -- and to appreciate all that, you have to appreciate the whole narrative.

I bring it up because, for Pussy Riot especially, nobody seems to know or care what the full narrative is. We like to hear about Pussy Riot for a fifteen-second sound byte so we can be mad for a while -- it's a manipulation thing, maybe justifiable if you care deeply about their message and the state of Russian civics, but to me personally.... it's hooligans doing hooligan stuff, and I feel like I don't need them to be on a pedestal for it. They've gotten plenty of the abuse they asked for, and all I can really say is "Sucks, don't it?" Maybe think about that next time you mock someone's sacred rituals or whatever on international TV. Pissing them off seems a likely outcome. I'll shed no tears for a slapped troll.

Creepy and eccentric belongings

My roommate brought back some *bizarre* african carvings, including two midget masks and a wood statue with tits. Of the things I've personally obtained, I think the best is an 8'x6' movie poster for Inglorious Basterds that I bought out the window of a Blockbuster as it went out of business.

EDIT: Wait, shit, no. The creepy clown painting I used to troll my other roommate's wife. We used to have a Carpet Jesus on the wall and one day I swapped in the clown painting from a thrift shop, and gave her a stroke.

Spam is a ladder

Doivid said it's the expectations that'll get ya, because they drive people to make poor posting choices.

Like posting in spam, for example.
