So, I had to climb over a fence to get to work today, because the grounds were all locked up. I was probably caught on some security camera and someone somewhere is probably pissed at me.
All on a Saturday.
And now there’s no mail here, so there’s actually no reason for me to be here.

Kelly Clarkson Sales Skyrocket On Amazon After Ron... →
shortformblog:
Sales of Clarkson’s album “Stronger” have soared on Amazon ever since the singer tweeted, “I love Ron Paul,” and “He’s got my vote.”
In the past 24 hours, Clarkson’s record was up 192% on the online retail site.
A day before the former “American Idol” winner explained why she’s a Paul supporter, “Stronger” was ranked #41 on Amazon’s “Movers & Shakers in Music” list.
Today,...

It’s clear Badiou wants to have done with Deleuze, whereas in Zizek we almost see the de Manian blindness-insight dialectic: he has to be blind to the obvious affinities b/t his thought and Deleuze’s so he can bring…

What even is this?
It’s like someone decided to take a huge concentration of stupid ideas, put them in a blender and then drink the mix. And this paragraph is the frothy bile that resulted from drinking that drink.

synecdoche:
Okay, so you know in some movies and television shows when they show an apartment belonging to a bachelor bro or a depressed character or something and the living room is overrun with pizza boxes? I’ve recently decided that my dream job is to be the person in charge of eating all of that pizza.
Like, someone would call me up and say “Hey, I’m shooting a movie where this character...

– Andrew, The Trouble with Rights (via bbcity)
I agree that we need to move beyond this constant discussion of ethics as an endpoint to action and justification (though, I do see some promise in ethical discourse going on today, but in the philosophy of ethics, not in general ethical discussion in...
So, I just went through ~90 pages of my dashboard (because I didn’t check during Christmas break at all), and I think I only reblogged one thing.
I’m not good at participating in Tumblr culture most of the time.

There is no such thing as racism or sexism because individual rights.

I got a ‘Salvador Dalek’ t-shirt as an early christmas present. OMFG. It’s a reacreation of that melting clocks painting, except with melting daleks. I’d post a picture, but i’m on a tablet right now, which is weird. But it’s totally awesome. Seriously.

– Albert Einstein (via shamostan)
This quote takes a weird metaphorical twist if you take seriously the Zapatista’s claim that WWIII already happened as the Cold War, and that we’re currently in the fourth world war with the fight between neoliberal global capital(ists) and those in the...

Haha, I went to their ‘Gay Bands’ section, and Sigur Ros is considered ‘bad’ because they’re ‘nudists’, Marilyn Manson is ‘bad’ because he’s ‘dark gay’, George Michael because ‘texan’, The Cure because ‘makeup’, and Elton John because...

My work computer’s homepage is MSN-News, and this article was one of the headliners.
Besides the general douchebaggery of the article, the comments are just terrible.

An astoundingly ironic article from Fox News’ resident psychiatristbigotedhomophobe and non-white heterosexual bedroom-policer, Dr. Keith Ablow. From the article,

10 Reasons Not To Vote For Ron Paul →
stfuconservatives:
readyokaygo:
1. Ron Paul does not value equal rights for minorities. Ron Paul has sponsored legislation that would repeal affirmative action, keep the IRS from investigating private schools who may have used race as a factor in denying entrance, thus losing their tax exempt status, would limit the scope of Brown versus Board of Education, and would deny citizenship for those...
Oh god, I just spent like the past hour and a half on TV tropes.

Damn, Lacey, I really think you’d like this blog. Just to put that out there.
I love tacos enough to ignore how much I fucking hate Skittles.
I also thought you really hated skittles somehow, even though I don’t think we’ve ever talked about it. Skittles just don’t fit you.
Oh well, tacos are bomb.
