The first funny bitch was Cain, who straight up lied to God after killing his brother.

I don’t really post on this blog anymore but I just saw the news out of Christchurch and I feel the need to say something even if nobody sees this. 

You will be told not to politicize a politically motivated massacre. You will be told in the smuggest of tones that the killers weapon was not really automatic.

Their are going to be people who will say that this happened because the people in that mosque should not have been there. They will say that muslims bring violence on themselves because they are of a foreign culture and refuse to assimilate. They will say that young men with guns are like antibodies for “The West”, that they fight a virulent infection even if the methods are distasteful. I hope that I do not have to tell you not to believe this shit.

No matter what anybody tells you, understand that today a man did a terrible thing because he wanted to kill muslims. He wore a go pro while he did it because he knew that others like him would want to watch him kill muslims. Do not let any one try to spin this any other way.

My heart goes out to the victims and their families.

We have a new type of rule now. Not one-man rule, or rule of aristocracy or plutocracy, but of small groups elevated to positions of absolute power by random pressures, and subject to political and economic factors that leave little room for decision. They are representatives of abstract forces who have reached power through surrender of self. The iron-willed dictator is a thing of the past. There will be no more Stalins, no more Hitlers. The rulers of this most insecure of all worlds are rulers by accident, inept, frightened pilots at the controls of a vast machine they cannot understand, calling in experts to tell them which buttons to push.

William S. Borroughs, “No More Stalins, No More Hitlers,” Dead City Radio, 1990, read from the book “Interzone,” 1989. (via afloweroutofstone)

The whole net neutrality discussion seems to be focusing on download speeds and access to particular services, but does anybody remember back in 2006 when AOL got caught blocking people from sending or receiving emails that expressed criticism of AOL? There was no sign that it was happening, and the emails would appear to be delivered - AOL’s mail servers would even report a normal “accepted for delivery” status code - but they’d just never show up in the recipient’s inbox. Or how about the incident a year earlier where Telus imposed fake service outages for websites expressing support for the Telecommunications Workers Union? Again, no indication that any blocking was taking place: just a error page falsely claiming the affected sites were down.

Under the proposed deregulations, this sort of thing would be explicitly permitted, and we know it’s possible because it’s been done. Now consider how much more communication happens via the Internet in 2017 than in 2005/2006. It’s not even email or websites; big chunks of the telephone network now pass through ISP-mediated VOIP channels, and those conversations would likewise be targetable by faked outages.

Like, this isn’t some dystopian sci-fi scenario; we’re talking about horseshit that major ISPs were getting up to on the sly over a decade ago, and are now about to be told can be engaged in without regulatory penalty.

While I’ve shown this before, I found a much better video, and I feel I must share this with you all in as high a “quality” as possible…

it’s downright wacky how easy it is to go “you’re right, I hadn’t considered that my joke was in poor taste regardless of whether it was supposed to be ‘ironic’ or not, my bad” rather than continuing to dig your grave with a tombstone reading “SELF RIGHTHEOUS SHITHEAD BUT ONLY IRONICALLY” and yet here we are, like, all the time

trash artists

You're never gonna be able to live with yourself

Because there's more to do

More you could have done

Instead of whatever it is you're doing

I see it in your eyes

You think maybe you run out of parts of yourself to hack off

And to preserve in amber

But there's more meat on those bones than their looks

And you got a real sharp knife

And even if it does not hold an edge you'll make do

Because there's more to do

You're never gonna be able to sleep at night

But that's fine because nobody really does

And besides if you could sleep at night you wouldn't be doing this

This wild thing

This semi-beautiful fist fight

This good natured heresy

Here’s the thing

Not only can you not sleep because there's more to do

You also can't sleep because you get up at night to throw up words

Words in an order that doesn't always make sense but feels so cosmically right

And you know what

I think whatever bug you got that makes that happen

Whatever little monster you have in your chest that keeps beating at your ribs until you feed it your personal garbage

Whatever force that makes you hit the books as hard as you do

And I mean hit the books

With your fists

Whatever that thing is maybe the best thing that ever happened to you

Because you're never ever going to sleep at night and sleep was invented for the dead

Because there's more to do and for the first time in your life you want to do it

So buck up because you're never gonna live with yourself

You know who else can't live with themselves

The undead

And I think that makes people like us real fucking cool

Friendly reminder that the UN estimates it would take 30 billion dollars a year to end world hunger, which is approximately 5 percent of the annual US military budget. (~600 billion). Fuck the USA and fuck the military.

Important Warning Please Read and Share

So Scientology has recently been purchasing ad spots on social media sites including Twitter and Facebook. Scientology has always worked hard to recruit young people it seems like they’re investing in social media as well now. I know most people think Scientology is a joke but it’s a seriously dangerous cult which uses fear, extortion, violence, vandalism and various other unethical actions against those who oppose them both inside and outside the church. Here is key information on the abuses committed by Scientology: 

•Scientology uses a form of pseudo-therapy called auditing which focuses largely on embarrassing and traumatic memories. Scientology collects the information you share and uses that information to threaten you if you oppose the church. They also charge huge amounts of money for auditing sessions (which is why they really are doing all this).

 •They are extremely anti-psychology and psychiatry and pressure you against taking any antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication or any other drugs for mental health.

 •They believe homosexuality can be “cured” and are blatantly homophobic. •Enemies of the church are labeled “suppressive persons” and it is forbidden to communicate with such people. This isn’t just to limit the negative press they receive but also is a manipulative tool. If you are in the cult and decide to leave or criticize the church you stand the risk of being completely cut off from your friends and family. “Suppressive Persons” are often also harassed, stalked, or threatened. 

•If you’re new to Scientology and your family or friends are worried about you being in a cult you’re instructed to cut them out of your life, increasing your reliance on the support system (though there’s nothing supportive about it) the church give to you. 

•Scientology’s doctrine includes the concept of “Fair Game”. This basically says that those who are judged a threat to the Church can be punished and harassed by any and all means possible.

 •Because of this, they have no moral qualms about having their members lie in court which they use to defend themselves from lawsuits or charges that they’ve broken the law and also to help win lawsuits against their enemies. •They essentially spied on and stole information from the IRS and tried to frame the mayor of Clearwater Florida for a hit and run. 

•Scientology filed 50 different lawsuits in one year against the Cult Awareness Network, an anti-cult organization. Using false testimony they won one of the suits and because the organization couldn’t pay the fine Scientology took the organizations name and logo so if you were calling to get out of Scientology you’d be unknowingly telling Scientology of your intentions. (For full transparency my mom was a member of the Cult Awareness Network before it was taken over and was sued individually by the Church of Scientology) 

•Scientology has an official branch known as the Sea Org, a mixture between a paramilitary group and slavery, comprised of their most dedicated members including many children/teens who’ve been raised in Scientology. This is where some of the most rampant and terrifying abuse in Scientology occurs. 

•Sea Org members often work over 100 hours a week for Scientology for around 2$ per hour.

 •Sea Org member’s living conditions are terrible; they live in overcrowded communal rooms with up to 12 other people, are not given healthcare unless there is a free clinic in the area, often are forced to miss meals or sleep in order to successfully completed their work. 

•Several former Sea Org members have accused the church of physical abuse. •Sea Org members may not have children and women who have become pregnant have reportedly been forced/coerced by their higher-ups to have abortions. 

•Leaving Sea Org without permission automatically makes you a suppressive person, so young adults who’ve been raised in Scientology who want to leave are cut off from everyone they’ve ever known with no money or job and getting permission to leave can require 3 years of hard labor, social isolation, and group pressure.

Brand

I need a logo

How else will I sell my public life

How else will I make myself a recluse

How else will I let my brand ware me like a skin suit

I need a logo because it's the way to stay competitive

In the market of self

Keep me in you thoughts and on your t-shirts

I need to synergize

To weave other logos into my skin

To breath brand speech

I need to rip my face from my skull and present it to you for a nominal fee

How else will you know to love my look

How else will I kill the little stranger inside

How else will I know that I am valued

Know that the world has time for me

Know that all of this was worth something

What we did to ourselves

What we to you

What we did to me

[eatthejughead-blog]

Why

I look in the mirror and ask “Why are you like this?”

Because in elementary school all the adults called me smart and all the kids called me gay

Because it used to make a kind of sense to me why some people get more than others

Because now nothing makes much sense to me

Because sleep is death

Because it is bitter and because it is my heart

Why do these things?

Because I’d like to believe in god or grey aliens and I don't

Because once you realize nothing needs a reason you stop giving them to yourself

Because once I wanted to kill somebody now I want to weep at them

Because in a world without stories about dragons and cowboys and astronauts I would be a raging alcoholic

Because it is bitter and because it is my heart

Why don't you cry?

Because it would make me weak

Because I'm terrified when other people cry

Because there are people who I won't cry for

Because there are people that I only scream and bite for

Because it is bitter, bitter and because it is my heart

Why do you steal from Stephen Crane?

Because I came across a creature in the mirror naked,bestial

Because he held his heart in his hands and ate of it

Because he liked it

Because it was his bitter heart
