We now officially know what the “B” in IHOP’s new name means

Seriously? Trading “Pancakes” from your name, where you are the undisputed leader in the segment, for “Burgers”, where you are a minor also-ran or worse “they have burgers?”…what are you thinking? McDonalds is THE International House of Burgers. You’re behind them…and every other burger chain.
Your name used to mean something. Now it’s just wishful thinking of a few misguided IHOP executives (who need to be replaced).

Prince George has been photographed playing with a toy gun and people aren’t happy

Idiots. Toy guns and video games don’t cause people to go on shooting sprees, and gun control, while helpful in reducing gun related violence, won’t solve the problem. Hopelessness. Depression. Mental illness. Inequality. Discrimination. Racism. Intolerance. Poor leadership. Poor parenting. ALL of these factors and more contribute to gun violence. Solve the ACTUAL problems, the gun violence goes with it. Happy people don’t go out and shoot a bunch of people for no reason.

The risk of ‘contagion’ after suicides is real

Because people are basically sheep, and let’s face it: Life is no fucking bowl of cherries for MOST people in this world. It’s a struggle, and it’s hard to see daylight at the end of the tunnel vision.
Perhaps the greatest lesson I learned from my folks, and live by (to a fault, one might argue) is to avoid following the crowd. Thanks Mom & Dad. Look, any implied sarcasm aside, I will NEVER be led, nor be blind to the slaughter, and nothing you could ever say would cause me to give up trying to make the world around me better. For Everyone.
Our problems are all solvable…we just have to decide that they MUST be solved, or we will ALL fail. Humanity will lose, because a few craved power over human decency; accumulation of wealth over justice and mercy.
It’s no accident so many become confused and lost along the way, and so sadly tragic at the same time.
There IS hope. Times are dark for sure, and we all feel pretty helpless, and our leaders do nothing but make things worse. The thing is though, the true power in the World is in the people, not the leaders. The leaders can easily be forced into action by the people. The people can decide to end these dark times…and the leaders will be forced to follow.
“Every election is a peaceful act of revolution”
So, welcome to #TheRevolution. Please don’t kill yourself. Even a bad movie can have an amazing ending. Embrace change. Change will set you free.
…and vote. Vote for REAL change. Send a message this November. Vote out incumbent obstacles to change. #VoteIndependent #VoteProgressive #EndTwoPartyRule #Vote #Resist

‘Lockdown, lockdown’: kindergarten uses nursery rhyme to teach shooting response

Perhaps one of the saddest commentaries on our times, and the mental health of our nation…of the world. This is truly a time of angst and anger for humanity…and it’s especially bad here in America. THIS is your idea of “Great Again”? WTF.

Privacy is a luxury, just like a $1,000 iPhone

I say fuck you, privacy is a right for ALL, not a privilege of wealth.

The US army has figured out how much coffee you should drink for the perfect buzz

Is the perfect amount 4-6 cups per day, basically back-to-back in a constant stream, all day long, until work is over, whenever the hell that is?
Because, then I’m good. #coffee #CoffeeSurvivor
