Jeff Dunham - No Puppet to Political Correctness -... →
Would have never thought I’d call the NYT stupid (bullshit yes, but stupid) but… 1. Is not satire - there is no sanction of the behaviour in this bit. 2. Is not “politically incorrect” - it is racist etc. Sometimes something is offensive because it is AN OFFENCE not because someone got their panties in a twist.
3. They call out Videogum, but Gabe (of Videogum) and the...

Hindsight: My Favourite Books of 2009
Goddamn it, I already have too many books and now I have to read these too?
FYI, went to school with this cat. (cat=person)
booksinthekitchen:
This is meant to be a rundown of my favourite books of the year, but it already feels more like a string of glaring omissions and apologies. It just isn’t fair with books. Nobody can read everything released in a given year—nobody even comes close....
One More Thing (Silvia Plath Edition)
I actually agree with this. However, I do think she’s a worthwhile poet, just not to the point of adulation that she visits. The reason MIGHT be her lady parts though.
In other news, no matter what poet you adulate (adulate? really? okay) they probably aren’t THAT great, even if they are great. No one exists in a vacuum and few (much fewer than thought, especially) artists can be said...

“gaymarry, gay-marry
To marry someone of the same sex. Also used hyperbolically...”
– The New York Fucking Times. This certainly doesn’t feed into any hysterical right-wing talking points about people marrying their pets when the slippery slope of gaymarriage is legalized.
It’s not gaymarriage, you FUCKING MORONS. It’s marriage, and it is a civil contract and responsibility that gay...

“Marriage is a vital social institution,” the reading began. “The...”
– via Savage Love.
My own ambivalence about marriage aside (mostly based on its specific history, not the idea itself), I like this definition as a “social act” i.e. a social act EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN. Without the rights and recognitions mentioned in this...

Welcome to the Dollhouse (OVERUSED PUNS ARE GO!)
ok, I don’t care what you say about the quality of the show, Dollhouse raises interesting questions: once the “dolls” become selfaware (they recognize each other by their “doll names,” feelings develop as dolls carry over into other personalities), who retains rights of personhood on the body? (after all, the original personality agreed to dollhood). then they take...
