About Baltimore. Even if your argument is true, it can be feckless:

I'm a liberal, but there's this annoying ongoing liberal trend I'm seeing where liberals love to shout how right they are and even prove it, yet it still doesn't equate to any substantial changes. You have to not only figure out what is right, but also figure out how to get the wrong people to agree/acquiesce and change.

Sadly, change often comes after long term financial changes. I would argue that Martin Luther King Jr.'s changes didn't come about due to him being right as much as they did from him organizing long term boycotts and mass scale annoying sit-ins so that the world couldn't ignore their plight anymore.

So for the people bad mouthing the Baltimore riots as not helping, so what? Does that statement help change anything? Will they hear it and suddenly agree and stop? And to the Baltimore rioters, so what? Do those actions change anything? You have been rioting on and off for decades, and rampantly in the past decade, but have you brought on more change this decade than simple camera technology improvements have?

I would like to remind both sides that MLK Jr. didn't boycott and sit-in for one weekend, or 2 weeks, or 2 months. We like to pretend it was all very quick and the power of logic and love prevailed. America was so caring. No. America didn't care. His message didn't change much, it only rallied the victims to do something else: what changed laws was him and many others peacefully annoying the fuck out of America for literally 12 nonstop months. If America is being systematically unfair to you, even if you're right, it might not change anything. Being right means nothing sometimes. To make true change you have to stop violently lashing out in short bursts and start peacefully annoying the fuck out of America for more than 30 days so that we don't have the option of not talking about your plight anymore.

Bring back long term boycotts and sit-ins. And commit. For a year. It won't be easy, but it will change more than being right. With complex humanity, being right is not enough.

04/23/15 TODAY, TL;DR:

Scientists use science to prove 95,000 children didn't get autism from measles vaccinations, and you'd have to be a moron to ignore decades of scientific data. BREAKING NEWS: Scientists used science to falsely prove hair forensics in 100s of FBI convictions over decades. Progress negated.

Also, the Brontosaurus may or may not 100% be proven to exist. 

A+, would today again.

PS: Yes, I support vaccinations. No, that doesn't make me smart. We should be happy to share data to help spread truth; not eagerly use it to shame others for being wrong. Also, stop acting like we're all scientists because we read four articles online with quotes from doctors. Being smart is not a binary quality. Never stop learning or helping others learn.

Stop saying war. Start saying murder.

So we're condemning Israel for murdering some people, but not others, then simultaneously giving them more money and ammunition to practice ethical murder in the near future, then continue to demonize Hamas even though we helped save their leader's life in 1997 and just interviewed him face to face FOUR DAYS ago on CBS but let him walk away because he's not that huge of a threat, yet enough of a threat to continue going to war with because we'd rather risk civilian lives while trying to kill the man we just met face to face FOUR DAYS ago?...

Man, murder is so complicated. If only I was smarter and had more of the facts I would understand why this murder is ethical and okay. I hate being so stupid. I wish I could be a grown up. Then I could empathize with those poor politicians who have it so hard when they're trying to murder people in the proper way.

Never let people use the word war. Ever. Interrupt them, ask them to use the word murder instead because that's what it is, and then tell them to finish their sentence. Fuck your adulthood, your suits, and your false confidence. Murder is murder. America continues to pass near unanimous bills to fund murder. That's not okay.

Inktober starts next week! Thirty-one days, thirty-one ink drawings.

Are you ready?!

  INKtober rules: 1) Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want). 2) Post it on tumblr (or Instagram, twitter, facebook, flickr, Pinterest or just pin it on your wall.) 3) Hashtag it with #inktober 4) Repeat (you can do it daily, like me, or go the half-marathon route and post every other day, or just do the 5K and post once a week. What ever you decide, just be consistent with it. INKtober is about growing and improving and forming positive habits, so the more you’re consistent the better.) That’s it!

Snowden scifi heist book/movie

I want a scifi story where Edward Snowden is captured, but Satoshi Nakamoto is a girl and she secretly had Edward Snowden's baby. Six years ago. And that the baby has already invented true AI and Virtual Reality, and her mom cashes out $1 billion US dollars worth of bitcoins to fund an android war to find and free Snowden, and then they all escape to an exoplanet that they secretly found intelligent life on. Best heist movie of all time. No competition. 

I'm seriously considering doing this as a NaNoWriMo writing project since there's no pressure to use any restraint or seriousness on the story.

PS3 Puppeteer Game Looks Amazing!

Wow, this PS3 game looks amazing. Like a Nightmare Before Christmas game with mechanics from Little Big Planet and an art influence from Paper Mario, but way more art and animations than any two Paper Mario games combined. I think it deserves a lot more attention. Don't write it off just because it's not made by Nintendo! Check out this video review to see what its gameplay and art style is like:

Dear Monsanto

Dear Monsanto, if you're going to be evil could you at least branch out and figure out a way to make fruit and bread not expire so quick? Buying a loaf of bread as a single guy is panic inducing. Every morning you realize it's another day closer to having mold grow on it and trying to figure out how to fit 8 slices of bread into your meals to use it all before it goes bad. Then you're full from toast and sandwiches and realize your basket of raspberries are expiring even sooner and you start to sympathize with obesity and Monsanto and get really sad and angry. So you eat more not to be depressed and pass out in a food coma. Then you wake up going through bread withdrawal only to find out your milk just expired. AHHH!

Sometimes I just want a temp girlfriend to make lots of little things in life easier. Who wants to talk about Reddit and share my bread? Why can't starting a relationship be that easy?

Fun Edward Snowden Conspiracy Theory

What if Edward Snowden contacted The Daily Show's Jon Stewart months ago about the NSA scandal and Jon faked his "planned" leave of absence for his Middle East documentary film project so he could instead go overseas to privately film Snowden spilling the beans on everything after Snowden went into hiding?

:P

Can you imagine how much the Internet would explode if that were true and the video torrent was posted on The Pirate Bay overnight?
