This is Bad.
Prediction for 2017: Ryan Adams is going to marry Taylor Swift.
Well I wasn’t right, but I wasn’t wrong.
Two of our laid-off colleagues were invited to our library holiday party at two pm yesterday. One showed up.
The other posted pictures on facebook at two pm of her two and a half hour lunch at Commander’s Palace. Fucking power move.
Found out through some work shit-talking (these have been happening more and more lately) what the salaries were of the two people who were laid off after forty years working here.
It was 40-45k. After forty years of professional, skilled, work requiring college educations. Those are the people who made “too much money” according to the administration. Do institutions of higher education devalue the labor of women and feminized skill sets, even when those employees have bachelors and sometimes masters degrees? Do they maintain their solvency by exploiting the labor of traditionally underpaid classes? Are the vast majority of the jobs available to locals minimum wage jobs in cleaning and food service that do not receive traditional benefits such as sick leave, vacation time, and tuition remission, because they are outsourced? Are, perhaps, universities a plague on the communities that house them instead of an asset? Signs point to yes!
Overheard in the library
“Post Malone? I would die for him.”
Paul Pastorek led Louisiana schools in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Inspiring! This man destroyed public education in New Orleans and he’s getting a second chance!
Ahoy folx,
Current yacht status………surrounded by frogmen. The situation is bleak. I mean, it’s OK. They aren’t closing in yet. The sense of lurking, regardless, is overwhelmingly piquant. So, situation-wise, as I see it, it’s just sort of progressing toward untenable? Basically, times are tough, it is what it is. Our predicament is sticky, and of growing urgency, like an ice lolly eaten on a torrid July stoop. Thus, our polycube, whose collective interest I represent in property dealings (it’s my trust money), requires a more satisfactory vessel to carry us and our fortunes securely.
I’ve done some serious soul-searching, pored over each of six issues of Superyacht World in my estate agent’s reception area, conference-called my medium and an ancestor of mine, Müezzinzade Ali Pasha, who was taken at Lepanto, and, now centuries at sea, is an unparalleled source of expertise on naval matters. Curse you John of Austria, you bastard.
This all is to say, truly, it’s a tiddlywink of a poser it is, to track down a new sea-palace apposite to our polycube’s tastes and purposes, and mine (it’s my trust, assholes). Where can I acquire a vessel which won’t displease me? Or else, which will, yet will please me, too, to a greater degree? That—well, I’d consider it, as a compromise, if necessary. This whole horrible affair is just so, so stressful. Alas! I feel, frankly, unmoored.
These are our criteria. Have you knowledge of a so-appointed vessel?
She bears no curse (important!!!)
Foremast hewed of a pagan woodland’s patriarch tree, wherein slumbers a God of old. Christendom’s forests are impuissant, voided of spirit and made docile by a too-forgiving Christ. Forgiveness has no place at sea.
Ample first mate’s quarters
Bowling alley and arcade (non-negotiable)
The below-deck acoustics must be up to snuff. This is extremely important. One, I am a voracious, even crazed, opera aficionado. Two, certain inauspicious frequencies, rare in nature, less so by technological folly, are postulated to exist. An unlucky resonance, if I may summarize in layman’s terms, can send ripples into our world’s weave, its all-encompassing physical fabric, and disrupt a manner of dimensional interliner, if you see my meaning. This invites trespass by outer entities. The dreadful Cosmick Hogge and I can ne'er meet again, ne'er. I shall provision my own assays, by pallograph and various instruments of proprietary design. I must work alone.
A bargain, preferably—or unmanned, and so easily stolen (I can acquire funding from an uncle to top off my annual allowance, it’s just super awkward and I get anxious and stuff)
A noble craft,
But somehow a most melancholy!
A cannibal of a craft,
Tricking herself forth in the chased bones of her enemies.
Ay? Have ye clapped eye on such a rare lady? Have ye? Have ye?
I am going to experience a total, total, total breakdown unless I find my ideal yacht soon. Help me.

Carlos Ezquerra, who died this week, created twisted worlds not far from our own, writes Ian Dunt, editor of politics.co.uk
Ezquerra started his career drawing war comics in Barcelona before moving to the UK and working for the anthology 2000AD and others. He brought the iconography of fascist Spain to Dredd’s extremely weird and vivid design and combined it with his experiences of living in Croydon through the 70s and 80s: the punk movement on his doorstep and TV images of policemen charging striking miners. Judge Dredd co-creator Carlos Ezquerra dies aged 70 Read more The eagle motif and helmet were drawn from fascism, the permanently drawn truncheon from police on the picket line, the zips, chains and knee pads from punk. “I was living in Franco’s Spain,” he told an interviewer last year, “but also I was living in Mrs Thatcher’s England.”

Hey op do you take constructive criticism
nope! have a good day :)
On a seasonally ephemeral pond, in southeastern Mississippi, the last 100 dusky gopher frogs in the wild huddle together, unaware that their fate may hinge on oral arguments that will be heard Monday in the United States Supreme Court. The case, Weyerhaeuser v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is the first one on the calendar in the court’s new term. It’s a showdown that pits the survival of an endangered species against the surging power of the Federalist Society, a nationwide association of conservative lawyers who value the rights of landowners over preservation of the flora and fauna that occupy the land. If the society’s name rings a bell, it may be because they are also in the news elsewhere in the nation’s capital this week: they are the group to whom President Trump has outsourced the power to select his judicial nominees, including embattled Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

Colombia’s prosecution said Friday it would charge more than a dozen former executives of the popular Chiquita bananas on charges they used death squads to increase profits.
Colombia’s prosecution said Friday it would charge more than a dozen former executives of the popular Chiquita bananas on charges they used death squads to increase profits. In a press statement, the prosecution that said 13 former Chiquita executives, including three Americans, one Costa Rican and one Honduran for mass killings by paramilitary groups that took place between 1997 and 2004, will be expected in court to respond to terrorism support charges.
The criminal charges against Chiquita are the first after more than a century of often brutal labor practices, initially under the name of the United Fruit Company.
How much blood is there on a banana?
The charges brought are only about human rights violations between 1990 and 2004 when Chiquita allegedly financed paramilitary groups through subsidiaries and death squads’ front companies in a phenomenon called “para-economics.” Hundreds, possibly thousands of locals were murdered by paramilitary group AUC in Chiquita’s area of influence in the northwestern Uraba region.
The AUC paramilitaries received $1.7 million from Chiquita between 1997 and 2004, the year that possible legal consequences of the mass human rights violations forced the company to leave the country.
No Chiquita executive has ever been criminally charged in Colombia, in spite the fact the prosecution possessed hundreds of testimonies and pieces of evidence linking the banana giant to the death squads’ crimes against humanity.
Behead them
The names of US executives being charged are Dorn Robert Wenninger, John Paul Olivo, and Charles Dennis Keizer.
