Our Glorious History: An Interlude

<grisom> the Persians have the most accurate calendar in the world. It has an error of about one day every three thousand years.

<grisom> Correction: The Persians have the most accurate calendar in the world. It has an error of about one day every THIRTY thousand years.

Apparently I'm a 'P.C. Fascist' (Because I care about both human /and/ non-human animals)

Some of my otherwise brilliant and productive friends (like scoundrels and their flags) take final refuge in character assassinations; they ignore the issue, and deny all relation between our consumption and brutality.  So you can go ahead and roll your eyes, and marginalize me/socially penalize me: play on insecurities.  And you can feign ignorance, but you're not stupid, you're just selfish, and you're a slave to impulse.  

I kinda thought we all shared common threads, in that we gravitated "here" to challenge conventions we've been fed by a culture that treats (living, breathing, feeling) creatures like (biological) machines.  And if you happen to buy that shit, then how long 'till it's me who serves as your commodity?  Through (for example) institutionalized violence, and oppression of workers, and women raped by sexism(and how about native americans?).  Do you still insist on feigning indignance (aka: indignation) to reason?  To collective self-interest?  

Tell you what, I'll call you on your shit, PLEASE CALL ME ON MINE.  Then we can grow together, and make this shit-hole planet better in time.  So why not consider someone else: STOP CONSUMING ANIMALS 

Crack-Cocaine

So some of you may be a-wonderin' "Hey, what's with the new look?"

...and some of you may be wondering as well, "Wait, are you /not/ pushing the militant queer nationalist agenda?" 

I will address the first last and the second first, 

2. If you knew /anything/ about the Militant Queer Nationalist agenda, you wouldn't be asking this question.  It's kinda like being circumcised, once you've entered into the covenant of the Lords chosen people, you can't go back on it.  You carry it with you perpetually.

1. I will buy you crack.  I'm not kidding.  I will buy you crack-cocaine, but /only/ if you smoke it, and while smoking it, you allow me to photograph you doing it.  Maybe you'll also have to let me film it, and maybe I'll add some background music as well.  That's the deal.  Any takers?

DEAR APPLE: FUCK YOU ASSHOLES

Word of advice: never update your iPod firmware. I did a while ago and now my iPod randomly reboots in the middle of songs, in the process completely erasing any playlists I was trying to listen to. Even if I explicitly save them.

"Well!" you say. "You should downgrade your firmware back to the original version." GUESS WHAT? The only way to do that is to completely erase everything on the iPod. This would be no problem if I had easy access to all my music and could just re-load it; but I've been using my iPod as a storage device to save on hard drive space. GUESS WHAT? There is also no way to get my damn music off my iPod for backup.

ASSHOLES.

Will Ferrell is the new Aristophanes

Ron Burgundy: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diago, which of course in German means "a whale's vagina".
Veronica Corningstone: [pause] No, there's no way that's correct.

Our fine philologue Umumuntamku has talked a lot (though not necessarily on this blog) about how the Greek comic hero tends to combine two qualities that might seem contradictory:

• he is utterly vile in almost every conceivable way
• he nevertheless carries the play's moral message, by doing something the author wants everyone else to imitate

Umu tends to present this dichotomy as being a curious product of old Greek "shame culture", not necessarily comprehensible to a modern Western audience. I REFUTE HIM THUS.

At the start of the movie Ron Burgundy is obnoxious and stupid*. By the end of the movie he is still obnoxious and stupid, but he has also reversed his initial sexism and accepted a lady as co-anchor, giving the film its moral message.

Uh... so there!

* And hilarious!
