Chris Marker was a giant (and recently became a personal favorite)—sad.

h/t (again) Dangerous Minds

Kolub And The Mormon Jesus

                                Yeah, I don't think it matters that a candidate for a national political office believes in something as fantastic as this...do you?

In fact, it would be unfair to point out the craziness of the Mormon faith.


h/t Dangerous Minds

Art Break

This unique Day of the Dead Skull wallpaper was developed specially for Barrio Central and Barrio North, two popular Latin bars located in London.

This high quality wallpaper is screen printed by hand using metallic gold ink on peacock, charcoal, and raspberry. The gold ink allows for the pattern to shine brilliantly under a variety of lighting.

Designed by Emily Evans. Made in London, UK.

I Hate These Fucking People

He is, of course, referring to the reports that a number of men used their bodies to shield their loved ones during the Aurora massacre. Most of us thought of this as a noble and amazing sacrifice, but to the American Taliban, these may have been slutty slut sluts who use birth control (or even worse, vote for Democrats!) and make their own decisions, so whether or not they deserved to be saved is up to wingnut judgment.

Another in my continuing series of Cheer Up posts...here and here...

Saturday Soundtrack

              Zapp, More Bounce to the Ounce

Hate To Meet Hate

                              "The guilt complex of the American white man..."

An amazing conversation.

It occurs to me, that eventhough these journalists were wary and, in a couple of instances dickheads, we couldn't have this conversation now (47 years later)—maybe the 'guilt complex' has made it necessary to pretend that slavery and wholesale discrimination never happened.

Friday Soundtrack

                              Mozart, Sequentia Requiem
