But, to Mr. Wise’s credit (and I do have serious issues with his position in anti-racism), he has not tried to murder any Black people.
Or if he did he’s had the good sense to not turn that into a story about how much better he is now that he hasn’t tried to kill any Black people lately.

as long as i'm being sgt grumbles about lego?
my kneejerk reaction to the lego ‘friends’ sets when i saw them at fred meyers today was WAIT YOU ARE DOING THIS AGAIN? DAMN LEGO JUST MAKE UNISEX STUFF THAT’S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT LIFE OR DEATH CONFLICT.
then i was like, wait, girls like conflict. can’t we just let girls have the space war stuff //too//, and then let everyone have the non-violent city stuff if that’s...

Oh, That's Terrible!: Lego and Late Capitalism →
nickminichino:
A chain of reblogs (sinker → paxvalkyrie → oldtobegin → isabelthespy) hit my dashboard a couple weeks ago about how LEGO’s product development has gone downhill since the 1981 ad above. I’ve been thinking about this a lot, trying to distinguish legitimate criticisms from nostalgic laments…
here’s the funny thing: lego is a big old white european company, and they...

Lost
Dirk Gently: I was thoroughly lost. There is a school of thought which says that you should consult a map on these occasions, but to such people I merely say, 'Ha! What if you have no map to consult? What if you have a map but it's of the Dordogne?' My own strategy is to find a car, or the nearest equivalent, which looks as if it knows where it's going and follow it. I rarely end up where I was intending to go, but often I end up somewhere that I needed to be. So what do you say to that?
Kate Schechter: Piffle.
Dirk Gently: A robust response. I salute you.
Kate Schechter: I was going to say that I do the same thing myself sometimes, but I've decided not to admit that yet.
Dirk Gently: Very wise. You don't want to give away too much at this point. Play it enigmatic is my advice.

Q: But sometimes whites feel that all white people are being similarly equated, when in fact attitudes among whites range from the Ku Klu Klan right over to the saints.

Now madam, I beg of you. This man desires to share his thoughts.
He wishes to facilitate discussion. He is concerned about the problems of old perceptions.
I think we should all sit nicely with our hands folded in our laps, like ladies, and let him entertain us.
He only wants to do his dance.

2011: An Illustrated Review
gingerhaze:
A lot of awesome things happened in my life in 2011! I also drew a lot this year. I was going through my Doodles folder today, and I think it tells the story of my year better than I can. So I decided to compile them into a little backwards look at 2011.

Why American health care is absurd
greenstate:
the-capitalist:
logicallypositive:
Imagine if we had grocery insurance (surely something like food is just as important to health as medicine is).
Now do you see why this system is stupid?
I would imagine, even in a free market, health insurance would still need to exist. Unlike groceries, health care would still be too much for some people to afford, specifically surgeries or...
