- I’ve been on the phone with Yahoo for 30+ minutes and they refuse to accept it’s their problem, saying that I need to wait 24 hours and it’s an ISP fault. (even though people around the world is having the same problem. Did AT&T but every single ISP?)
- I’ve updated XKit 7 to take advantage of the new (and working) subdomains I’ve created.
- Again, sorry about this.
Yup, didn’t take much more than 7 days for Yahoo to apply awesome updates to fuck things up here on tumblr AND render my xkit useless.
They should fucking hire this chap and fire whoever thought it would be a great idea to change the layout with zero upgrades or new features. Let’s just fucking move the heart from the top to bottom.
Those black clumps are made of pine sap that collected all my hair and forced me to rip it off. This is what I get for sticking a pine cone down my pants at the first boulder and then suffering for the rest of the day. It took quite a bit of grapeseed oil and scissors to get this shit off. Then I had to shave. #fail #self #selfportrait #me #gpoy #eddyizm #badidea (Taken with Instagram)
Because women and goats are both men’s property. Thank you so much religion!

Tahani (in pink), who married her husband Majed when she was 6 and he was 25, poses for this portrait with former classmate Ghada, also a child bride, outside their mountain home in Hajjah. Nearly half of all women in Yemen were married as children.
This, people, is “tradition” and “religion”. #sickening
the fanmail thing works horridly with google chrome. (it stays black and says SENT foreva) oh and also, if I type a name wrong, I basically have to refresh as the cancel button is useless.
UN-Occupy Portland counter-protest attracts 10 people. Fail.
LULZ - come on Americans For Prosperity, can’t you bus them in? Where’s Glenn Beck when you need him to WHIP THE SHEEPLE INTO A FRENZY!?
Michelle Malkin makes the claim that Occupy Wall Street is 99% white. It hurts my irony bone for someone on Fox News to criticize a social movement for being “99% white.” It hurts real bad.
According to Malkin:
“The protesters have taken to calling themselves the ‘99 percent’ in the country, labeling the capitalists they wish to remove from power the other ‘1 percent.’ When Occupy Wall Street activists call themselves the ‘99 percent,’ it turns out they mean 99 percent non-diverse (by their own politically correct measurements). It’s as pale out there at Camp Alinsky as MSNBC’s prime-time lineup or the New York Times editorial board. Not counting the cameos by Jesse Jackson and Cornel West, that is.”
Uh-huh… love the photo choice showing a rather diverse crowd, Fox Nation. I don’t need to debunk your claim since you, um, did it yourselves.
Bravo.
FAUX LIES
We sell college students a destructive ethos that encourages them to party hard—but only with alcohol, a substance that is far more toxic than marijuana.
September 18, 2011 |In the firmament of celebrated Americana, there is Mom, apple pie, football and beer—but there most certainly is not marijuana. As it relates to drugs, this bizarre culture has us implicitly accepting that people will inevitably use mind-altering substances. But through our statutes, we allow law-abiding citizens to use only one recreational substance—alcohol—that just happens to be way more hazardous than pot.
Such idiocy is the product of many variables. There’s been interest-group maneuvering and temperance-movement hypocrisy. There’s been hippie-hating rage and reefer-madness paranoia. And, most invisibly, there’s been college.
Though little noticed for its role in America’s selective War on Drugs, the university system has now become a key player shotgunning the oxymoronic “alcohol is acceptable but pot is evil” mentality down the beer-bong-primed throats of America’s youth. To see how it all works, consider the University of Colorado (CU).
Both figuratively and literally immersed in alcohol, CU is the higher education gem of a state whose governor famously made his millions on beer breweries. Today, the school’s catering service sells alcohol, and university officials license CU’s logo for use on beer-drinking merchandise. Meanwhile, every school year, CU forces kids to sit through a convocation in a beer-themed arena—the Coors Events Center—to learn about the “meaning and responsibilities” of student life.
The final nail in the supply side coffin
The theory of supply-side economics tells us that if you cut taxes on rich people and corporations, the newly liberated moguls and businessmen will take their windfall and invest it, creating jobs and accelerating the rate of economic growth. The benefits of a light hand on the upper class, therefore, will “trickle down” to the working man and woman.
Ever since Ronald Reagan first attempted to make supply-side economics a reality and proceeded to inaugurate an era of persistent government deficits and growing income inequality, it has become harder and harder to make the trickle-down argument with a straight face. But we’ve never seen anything quite like the disaster that’s playing out right now.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that corporate profits are looking quite strong for the second quarter of 2011. Even the Journal can’t sugarcoat the basic facts:
While the U.S. economy staggers through one of its slowest recoveries since the Great Depression, American companies are poised to report strong earnings for the second quarter — exposing a dichotomy between corporate performance and the overall health of the economy.
But that’s just the tip of the nightmare. A newly released study from the Center of Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University, “The ‘Jobless and Wageless’ Recovery From the Great Recession of 2007- 2009,” lays out some extraordinary statistics. (Hat tip: The Curious Capitalist.)
