I always vote. I have voted for fictional people, sometimes. But right now I am watching the torrents and eddies and underground swells with humor and some delight.

Hillary was chosen to be the next prez. Bernie was suppose to pull in the millinials that she can't and the outliers of the party, and turn them over. No one expected him to do as well ( Read more... )

Ok so I'm testing out the ability for my tablet to actually type while I'm talking.  so far it's been pretty good.

I've been watching a lot of youtube vloggers Mila Yiannopoulos , Sargon of Akkad, Joe Rogan, and various other in the social/ cultural/ tech/ feminist /GamerGate mieleu and I keep wanting to speak back to them. I keep wanting to to ( Read more... )

When something baits you, stop and think. What made you react? Is it worth the energy to respond? Think again, what really made you react. Write that.

I understand the difference between climate and weather. I think the key points in the artcle, and more and more like it is

I could be very wrong about this, but it keeps occuring to me that Donald Trump is no fool. He is a showman, and he certainly breaths thin air, but he is not an idiot. No one gets to where he has, and keeps it going through all the ups and downs, without intelligence and stratagy. So what is the end game of this endeavor of his? Certainly there is ( Read more... )

The Almighty Johnsons.  Out of New Zealand, it is fresh, funny, quirky in ways tv is so very rarely anymore. You can watch this wasted and have a great time.
