Answering arguments about Julian Assange's rape... →
descartesbar:
Julian Assange is going back to court, this time the Supreme Court, in a last ditch effort to avoid being sent to Sweden to defend some rape allegtions, because he thinks the Americans are going to shoot him or something. And so, there’s talk of rallies starting up again here like they did at this…
Yep and yep and YES! to everything here.

Netflix Instant Movies That Don't Suck: Insidious →
netflixmoviesthatdontsuck:
The parents (Patrick Wilson and the ever lovely Rose Byrne) of a comatose young boy find out there is more to their son’s condition than they ever could have expected. The film moves from creeping unrest to thrilling with perfect pace. More than cheap jump scares and with almost no blood and gore, Insidious actually had my heart racing and on the edge of my seat, and I...

Commenter says there’s a Bollywood remake?! This cannot be true.
In other news, still few words on the Suspiria remake, though DGG is still saying...

jephjacques: My Favorite Albums of 2011 →
jephjacques:
#11 Sepalcure- Sepalcure
Much has been made of the fact that Sepalcure doesn’t really do anything “new” on their self-titled album. These are all sounds and rhythms and treated vocals that you’ve heard before if you’re at all familiar with dubstep. But modern music criticism’s obsession with novelty often overlooks the fact that innovation isn’t the only means of writing vital...

This, this straight up pisses me off.

Where in the fuck does this motherfucker get off talking about the First Lady’s ass? And of course because she’s a black woman, he gets a pass. Imagine someone saying this...

I will never, never, put a fucking trigger warning on anything. Ever.

– Christopher Hitchens (via thecountryfucker)
if you think anal sex is in the same category as lobster then I’m sorry but you are wrong because lobster is weird and creepy.

Well, no comment on at least one of these things because I have good friends who follow me, but...

10 Stupidest Moments of 2011 →
My favorite article this week, top rated being “Obama gets reamed (get it? get it?) out for using a binder clip to - gasp! - hold papers together.” I must point out, though, that we shouldn’t jump the gun, there are still 15 days left in 2011.

"[The protests] seemed at the time to be one-offs,...
Time Magazine’s Person of the Year: The Protester, and what an incredible article. 2011 has indeed been a pivotal year in both global culture and politics as well as American mindsets, and I hope it does go down as the “epochal turn of history’s wheel.” I grew up under the new regime of post-9/11, but now I can hope to spend my young adulthood being a part of a country, a...

– A Statement From Louis CK on the success of distributing his latest comedy special online for $5.
Good job, internet.
(via ryeisenberg)
I don’t love Louis CK’s jokes all the time, but I do love him all the time, and I’m so glad he’s making a good living.

"EVIL USES NO LUBE WHATSOEVER."
Mimi Smartypants, one of my favorite “life bloggers,” (as probably only I call it), on Stephen M. Irwin’s The Dead Path.
Even when she is being morose, unnecessarily existential and crass I still love her. I might actually love her more when she’s like that. Also, she has an awesome daughter who asked for a Swiss Army Knife and flint for Christmas. Read her.**

Michelle Bachmann! Now she looks a little different…

And now…
Brow lift, botox, neck procedure, etc… Just saying

Ditto to the above “…so?” and also, I mean, if I were running for president I’d probably do all of the above too. Remember the Nixon-Kennedy debates? (well, I mean, remember reading about...

Gratitude, the 'tag-along' Friends Edition: BFF,...
Steven, who let me tag along to Austin, who listens to all my nonsense, who invites me to extremely personal events, despite knowing my disdain for them. Who judges, but not purposely; who I have been able to call for anything since I was 15. I think I don’t say enough good things about him because there gets to be a point in a friendship where platitudes just don’t mean enough, and all you can...

So many Americans I know complain often about their rights being violated but don’t actually have anything more than a basic concept of what their rights even are.
“You’re violating my right to free speech!”
“You’re trying to kidnap what I’ve rightfully stolen!”

This is my story:
I had been staying in Hollywood to work and hang with friends for much of the month of August, and all was well besides the typical drama one would find in such a big city where people never seem to sleep.
On the night of August 29th 2009 I decided to get a bed at…
Such a tragic story that I wish would never happen to anyone, but there’s...
