OK Weather. Time to make up your mind. This 70F one day, then 15F the next is NOT my idea of Spring or Winter. I’ll stop talking about the gopher being wrong if you stop fucking with the thermostat.
thanks. me.

Get Outta My Head! | Jamie Gray – March 03, 2017 at 12:05PM

I honestly don’t know how anyone can sit back and remain quiet, with the huge amount of corruption and deception going on around us. The signs are really not very good that we are on the best path for our country, our planet, or our species.
Politicians are skilled at turning everything into a political debate, which benefits no one except them, and meanwhile no one really does anything that doesn’t result in personal gain of some sort.
While we’re all being distracted…and the distraction keeps growing more ridiculous daily, just to keep our attention…People, actual human beings are ‘falling through the cracks’. You can call them illegal immigrants or minorities or veterans…Or Americans…Or foreigners. But they are human beings, and none of your excuses justify denying them the basic dignity of being human. To live without fear of starvation or early death due to lack of medical care. To know their children will know peace rather than unending war, and be educated and have the chance to do better than the generation before.
To seek to achieve these things is to seek human progress. Everything else is just politics that seeks only to protect the wealthy and powerful from having a fucking conscience as they increase their bank accounts.

Obama’s Bold Sony Statement: Canceling The Interview Was a ‘Mistake’ | WIRED


In his end-of-year press conference today, President Barack Obama called the decision by Sony Pictures Entertainment to cancel the release of its film The Interview a “mistake.”“I am sympathetic to the threats they face,” Obama said. “Having said all that, yes, I think they made a mistake….“We cannot have a society in which some dictator someplace can start imposing censorship here in the United States,” Obama said. “Because if somebody is able to intimidate folks out of releasing a satirical movie, imagine what they will start doing when they see a documentary they don’t like or news reports they don’t like? Or, even worse, imagine if producers and distributors and others start engaging in self-censorship because they don’t want to offend the sensibilities of somebody whose sensibilities probably need to be offended.”

Are Low Music Sales Simply Due To Bad Music? – hypebot

Are Low Music Sales Simply Due To Bad Music? – hypebot.

That’s been my guess for A LONG time. A LOT of bad music, empty of innovation and creative spark, filled with studio enhancement tricks to make talentless singers sound adequate, being shoved down our throats by the major labels, who then turn around and blame the bands and their fans for the piracy that is OBVIOUSLY killing music sales…

How about this…Indie Artists are producing and publishing volumes of great music everyday, and people are spending their consumer dollars ELSEWHERE. Yes, that’s right Sony, people are choosing to buy REAL MUSIC directly from REAL MUSICIANS and artist friendly music services, and it’s cutting into your sales and profits.

Like they say on Shark Tank…if you’re selling a crappy product, your sales are going to suck. OK, they don’t actually say that, but tell me it isn’t true?

Maybe if the record labels stop exploiting artists and fans, and start finding new, innovative, and inspired acts that are creating new and imaginative art, they can get back on track. Or, they can keep doing what they’re doing…exploiting crap for profit while shunning any semblance of true inspiration, and carving thier niche in history with the dinosaurs and 8 track tape decks in the car.

Anyhoo, check out the article that I sorta read before going off on this rant. Are Low Music Sales Simply Due To Bad Music?

Doc suggests weed made Michael Brown Crazy

Seriously?? Where the f%ck do they find these “experts” that say these ridiculous things.

Autopsy doc suggests that weed made Michael Brown act

Doc Says Weed made Michael Brown Crazy

First, this is just pure speculation. Opinion. Based on zero facts.

Second, there is no evidence to backup the assumptions that this un-armed man…let’s not forget that however he was acting, he was not armed…was acting “in a crazy way”, and in fact the majority of witness accounts say just the opposite. Only the shooter/cop seems to think the Michael Brown was a threat, and this quack is inserting his professional…but wholly scientifically inaccurate OPINION into this issue, as an obviously desperate attempted diversion to obscure the truth and blame it on marijuana. Same as they did with Trayvon. Same as they always do.

The only “crazy” or “erratic” behavior most marijuana users experience is the munchies and/or uncontrollable laughter. Without other drugs added into the mix (which the good doc here, when you listen to the garble coming out of his mouth, seems to be trying to imply were also involved, although no official evidence to supports this) the likelihood of drug-induced violence is essentially nil, since pot on it’s own has never been shown to induce violence.

By and large, this is just exactly what it seems…a big fat attempt to divert attention from the shooter/cop and place blame on the victim. I mean, he’s black so he must be a violent drug crazed criminal now, right? Shame on you for reporting this idiot’s opinion Fox News, and shame on you, “creepy Fox Newsbot Greta Van Susteren”, for being who a tool of the polarized political playground we call governance.

US House of Representatives faces Wikipedia ban

At least SOMEONE is holding Congress accountable for their actions. Kudos to Wikipedia admins.

US House of Representatives faces Wikipedia ban thanks to trollish edits.

…someone tied to that House IP address edited a description of series regular Laverne Cox from “a real transgender woman” to “a real man pretending to be a woman”. You can check out the full (and we mean full) debate on the offending IP address’ talk page
