For the billionth fucking time, the rest of the world doesn’t have the luxury of ignoring your politics when your government keeps meddling in ours. That’s the consequence of being an interventionist power

people in Southern Italy can't buy food because diesel is too expensive for truckers to be able to get a living wage out of their job because you decided to start a pointless war in Iran just one example off the top of my head

I mean the president spent the past 2 years threatening my state and blew up the world oil supply among other things. I feel like there’s a pretty big reason to “give a fuck”.

I remember vague snatches of Iraq War protests, bombs detonating in London, then things become clearer with the start of the Great Recession, the election of Barack Obama, and that chap throwing his shoes at George Bush. I remember dumb Bush jokes and Achmed the Dead Terrorist.
What is the oldest political news story you can remember? For me it's Joe Biden being selected as Obama's VP.

Somebody remind me, what was it about the circumstances of the execution of James Connolly, in particular, that so outraged and radicalized the public?
I support the execution of Nidal Hassan. Livestreaming a wheelchair bound paraplegic before a firing squad will not be the PR win some of you seem to think it will be.

Craziest thing about having a house is realizing I can just put stuff on the walls. Picture frames. Mirrors. Speakers. Guitar holders. I can just hammer nails into the walls all day if I want to. Nobody can stop me. They're MY walls.

Reflection is overvalued in the humanities. In my classes, I urge my students to live an unreflected life. Then, at the end of the term, they do not reflect on what they have learned. More educators should try this imho

Was flicking through my photo album, which seemed to stop about 3 years ago. I thought, "Oh no. My life was so real until then, and nothing has happened since except a blur of years passing unlived." Then I found a few more pages of recent photos and thought "oh yeah life rocks."

So?
You know it amazes me that so many people still listen to music from the 70's. I promise you, in the 1970's no one was listening to music from the 1920's.

My fixation on Bob Dylan has brought me to some desperate places in life - but now, it's bringing me to Sheffield.

If you're despairing about the quality of entertainment people chose today, remember that in medieval times, European peasants threw rocks at tied-up Roosters and headput cats to death. There's a fairly stubborn taste for lurid stupidity in us.

Nick Drake is one of my favourite people named after a type of bird theft. Others include Russell Crowe, Rob Fowler, Peregrin Took and Jack Sparrow.

Very cool of Christopher Nolan to find a satisfying adaptation for the absolute bullshit tacked-on ending of the Odyssey poem.
