YES! Next time someone they are “so busy”, I’m going to send them this. It’s bugged me for a long time, and this enumerates exactly why it’s so fucking annoying to hear that from people.
Everyone should read this. This isn’t at all the type of thing I usually post… that’s how much it speaks to me.

MUSIC: Ween breaks up – Stereogum
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
But can’t say I didn’t see this coming – it’s been longer since a proper Ween release than at any point in their 25 year career.
I’m glad I got to see them live 7 times (10 of you count Gene Ween band and Gene Ween solo shows).
It looks like of my 3 favorite bands even (The Misfits, Atari Teenage Riot, Ween) — there is still 1 left: Atari Teenage Riot who recently reformed. (No, the new Misfits don’t count.)
This is the saddest music news since the death of Type O Negative singer Peter Steele.

But anyway, here’s a story of a Jewish person who turned in the person raping his child, and was shunned by his community, harassed, and kicked out of his residence.
Hasidic Jews, that is. These are the hardcore orthodox types. People who take their supernatural beliefs way too seriously, and then inflict them on other people.
Religion has got to be one of the top enemies for children.
(Islam is even worse in that they don’t need to worry about covering up chid rape quite as much as the other religions, because Mohamad set the awesome example of marrying a six year old while he was in his 50s, and Sharia says you execute the rape victim, not the rapist, so what’s left to cover up?)
In general, fuck religious people. Even the ones that do no wrong help prop up communities like this by passing on supernatural beliefs that have nothing to do with the modern-day world. If you don’t like my attitude, here is a cup of I don’t give a fuck that you can drink.
This is basically looking like the same bullshit the pope and various bishops have pulled repeatedly.

home of the brave here.. not charged, ends up in intensive care due to negligence of a government that’s supposed to protect us, not injure us.
And your tax dollars paid for this. Funny how the worst stories are never about a white person.
The DEA is an evil organization. They do not make the world better. They are a waste of tax dollars. And Obama has done nothing to stop them, and in fact has empowered them.
And how the fuck are their bags of methamphetamine in a DEA holding cell anyway? DEA is incapable of administering themselves! Why do they even have their own holding cells?

Even one of Arizona’s Senators thinks there was a 911 cover-up…. Whatever did happen, we are not getting the full story of. (WTC7 collapse didn’t have a single page in the 911 commission report, despite it being one of 3 steel structure to ever collapse from fire?) And of course there’s the predictable backlash from people who have already decided they know for sure what happened (I guess they know OJ was guilty/innocent too!). The comments on the original story are basically to the effect of “to even consider otherwise is craziness”. Of course, kindergarteners will think you are crazy if you say Santa Claus is just one big conspiracy. There are further comments from people whining that the WTC buildings were designed to withstand only small “office fires”, which is just more FUD. Actually, if you watch the PBS documentary about the buliding of the WTC — The WTC was SPECIFICALLY designed to take jet impacts (I can’t remember for sure, but I believe the architect said multiple jet impacts), after a plane hit the Empire State Building and caused a scare prior to the WTC being built. I think we need to build another WTC and fly some planes into it and see what happens, as a research project. At the very least, it would make a great Pay-Per-View event! (more…)

WAR ON DRUGS: Federal marijuana decriminalization bill introduced — tell your congressman to support it here. Surveys tend to show that around half of Americans support decriminalization of marijuana. Since this is not a direct democracy, and you don’t get a vote, letting your congressman know what to do is the only way you will be represented. So speak up. Of course this wont make a real difference, as only 1% of marijuana arrests occur at the federal level. But federal penalties are draconian and extreme.

Heathers: the alternate ending. One of my favorite movies of all-time (it was #1 until I saw A Clockwork Orange and Brazil), and I didn’t even know there was an alternate ending scripted, but never shot. DARK. BRUTAL. (more…)

And a net neutrality article — in UK corporations are already paying to put certain people in the (contrived) “slow lanes” of the internet. But I am frickin’ stoked that there will be an Arrested Development movie … And plan on watching the 7-minute I Am Legend alternate ending tonite. And of course, Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, is the most funny and bizarre show on television right now. And Eli de-lurks from the shadows to send me hilarious 24 Japanese commercials. What a day: Links about shows & movies dominate. (more…)
