Kosmo's Krap @kosmoskrap - Tumblr Blog

You know what kind of story is always a sure-fire hit? A super politicized topic that has no clear resolution due to extreme polarization. Then bring up the two sides with incredibly weak writing for characters that aren’t widely liked in the first place. Wrap it all up with no conclusion and a weakly portrayed memorial for all those who were killed. It’s like the Arrow writers aren’t even monkeys at typewriters. They’re Trumps at a Twitter.

Adventure Time Season 8 is probably the most well-timed season so far.

Zero shame.

Why would they care? It doesn’t immediately effect them and they’ll most likely be long dead by then.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

The president-elect's Bible dates back to his childhood, according to the Presidential Inaugural Committee, which announced details of Friday's swearing-in.

Later on he will hire Russian prostitutes to hold it while he pisses on the Bible and the memory of the previous men who used it before him.

Rex Tillerson and CONald Trump want to get rich giving away the Western world to Putin.

But have you ever, anywhere (other than Free Speech TV), seen a TV conversation about the role the media itself played in getting Trump elected, and why they did it? The numbers are easy to find online Trump got between $2 and $3 billion in free media coverage, while Hillary struggled to break into the evening news, and Bernie Sanders was largely ignored until the final months of the Democratic primary. And it’s not a secret: Les Moonves, the executive chairman and CEO of CBS, said, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter about Trump’s candidacy: “It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS.” He added: “Donald’s place in this election is a good thing… . Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun… . I’ve never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going.” The networks — whose first priority since Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine is profitability rather than informing the public — are no doubt salivating about the next 4 years of daily eruptions from the White House. They’re clearly betting The Donald Trump Reality Show: POTUS Version will provide an ongoing revenue stream, whereas a Hillary presidency would merely have been competent and boring, and thus not as profitable for the media.

The Trump story media dare not utter: They sacrificed democracy for ratings (via wilwheaton)

Most relevant paragraph

“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says, “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time; and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.”

He wasn’t wrong. It is, sadly, still true today.

“…who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.” We talk about this in seminary all the time: peace that is won by one side holding its foot on the other side’s throat is not peace. When we pray for peace, we must pray for peace with justice, never at the cost of justice, made by silencing the oppressed.

Fellow white people, don’t just reblog or share mlk jr.’s more palatable “hate cannot drive out hate” type quotes and ignore the fact that he also said challenging things like this. We must hold ourselves accountable. We must not be lukewarm. And there is never a “more convenient season” to act to secure rights for all people – the time is now.

He also had a speech to the APA that openly called out white people for caring more about “riots” and damaged property than the fact that Black people were suffering under institutional violence.

He called out white people regularly for their lack of empathy for Black lives and their continuance to spout respectability at Black people than hold the white policymakers accountable for their racism.
