When?! I said TV news programs are losing their position as the main news source the way print media lost it to TV news that's what "dodo path" means. You do know about the dodo bird, dontcha? As for the agnosticism/atheism/apatheism discussion, it devolved real fucking quick. Correction: no, it didn't; it actually took its sweet time because your post was such an extremely long and boring to death reply I'm surprised you didn't fall into a verbosity COMA. Before you tell me I'm with the TLDR crowd or have no time for depth or context ( ![]()

Ah, Mr. Enlightened, I believe? The one who chided us for not truly getting active! But then decided there was nothing to do except sit around eating bonbons anyway! And congratulated himself for arriving at that conclusion before anyone here! Yet later he started talking about marching again! Which will come next?! Fuck if we know! Never did I think I'd engage with one of your posts once more after you directly compared me to the most repulsive human being on Earth, but if you think we don't know who Malala is and have to look her up (!) you're out of your smug skull. She is indeed an amazing hero and at 19 she has already accomplished more than any of us ever will. Dunno how Bill Maher would handle it, don't particularly care right now, but if I had the privilege of talking with her and at some point the course of the conversation took us to the matter of religion I certainly would point out that hers is stupid. So the fuck what. So was Ghandi's and MLK's. The values they literally defended with their lives are those stated in, for instance, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights — not necessarily in their religions' deranged "sacred texts"...

Ha! Is this you trying out obscure everyone with a massive political figure? I've heard of a band you probably won't know them but you should. They're called Velvet Underground. Look em up; educate yourself.

Cool. I had no idea she was as popular as VU.
If it's not an uncouth question, may I ask how much you donated to her fund? Or did you spend the money on a VU boxed set or some shit? Just kidding. We're all assholes and deserve this shitty world. EDIT: Woke at 3 AM with a 100 degree fever. I'm going to die. If I make the world seem worse that it is, I won't mind so much. |

I guess to further splain what I like about Bill M, he is a counter to the weird religiosity that pervades the US. If he's ridiculing all religion at the same time, at least he's consistent. I really dislike the free to practice religion folks that say, "Yeah, except for that sect or that practice. That's a mighty slippery slope, menheers.
As to Malala, I really feel for her and other victims of religious persecution, but her religion, if I'm not mistaken, is the same as those of her persecutors...just different sect and/or practice, therefore leading to the above. Had a brief discussion with a woman who said the Democratic Party was not open enough to anti-abortion people....again, leading to the above is this circular enough yet? |

Hah! No offense evollove. I'm not hah-ing at you, or even necessarily supporting this post, but it made me laugh. ETA: I don't need to look her up, because I remember when she was attached, and the torrent of coverage the incident received all over the world. Also I'm not a complete idiot (maybe half-idiot, but not compete). However, I did not donate to her fund. No excuses to give for that, because I bought every one of the VU's 45th anniversary album reissues. Not the 2disc versions either. The big-ass, $150 4xCD/book/deluxe case versions. Yup. I'm shit. |

Incidentally, The Velvet Underground & Nico turned 50 exactly five days ago. Even though I don't follow Twitter at all, somehow last Sunday I checked Brian Eno's reminder of this epic anniversary. Epic! Man, tons and tons of cooliosity on Eno's Twitter account, including many links to bitchen bootlegs and back-in-the-day press articles and whatnot. And did you guys know about Chasing The Trane, the new John Coltrane documentary? I thought Brian did not care for jazz except for Miles' "He Loved Him Madly", drilled into his brain by Robert Quine... Anyway, didn't Eno proudly pointed out he did not have a Twitter account [scroll down]? I do apologize: this post is obviously OT as fuck. Unless "Venus In Furs" was playing when Trump got golden-showered.

“Let me be very clear: the policy of strategic patience has ended. We are exploring a new range of diplomatic, security, economic measures. All options are on the table.”
“Certainly we do not want for things to get to a military conflict, we’re quite clear on that in our communications, but obviously if North Korea takes actions that threaten the South Korean forces or our own forces, then that would be met with an appropriate response” “If they elevate the threat of their weapons program to a level that we believe requires action, that option is on the table.” -US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson |

Ho. Lee. Crap. That's a terribly written article. Perhaps I should buck up and apply for some content editing positions, because it would take me about 10 minutes to double the readability and overall quality of that thing. Not boasting here. I actually suck at almost everything. But that is something I could absolutely do. Anyway, thanks for sharing, ilduclo. Article might not be great, but the information is interesting and I was not aware of this at all. If I worked for the Guardian (awesome), I'd be pretty goddamn irked. This is surprising, and it feels particularly relevant after the revelations about Amazon and Britebart, etc. that we discussed in the movie thread. |
