I’ll be back with more soon, but this was too amazing to not post right now:

I have a feeling, this is going to be big. And a lot of fun:
I’m back from my summer travels, so that means, much more regular content! Until I get back on a normal sleep schedule and whatnot, here’s a short update:
I know I missed it, but all I have to say is one of my favorite quotes, “You should live every week like it’s Shark Week.” Enjoy:
So, a school district in Missouri banned “Slaugherhouse Five,” because it goes against the Bible. Good gravy. But thankfully, the Vonnegut Library will give any student from that district a free copy. If you’d like to learn more or donate, check it out.
Here is the complete set of Arrested Development paper dolls. I especially love the Buster one, since it includes the seal and the “You’re Killing Me, Buster” banner.
I posted this on Metblogs, but it’s too awesome to pass up again. Just remember, this was released when we were still just over .500:
Go build a solar system! And prepare to lose long bits of time as you play with this!
A message to everyone in London:
And finally, make sure to read this article, it’s about some kids who tried to make a newspaper the old fashioned way, and it’s awesome!
That’s it for now, but I’ll be back soon with a lot more, have a great one!

To celebrate the beginning of Marriage Equality in New York, two of the characters from Avenue Q are getting “married.” They’re puppets, so they can’t. But it’s still awesome!
AHAHAHAHA. I’m a child sometimes.
Rob Tish, is of course, brilliant.
That’s delicious. Let me rephrase it. Here’s the cake: You can’t get married because it’ll mess with my decor!
And here’s the frosting: You’re selfish and self-centered for not living your life around my decor!
And again, Rob Tish is brilliant:
In New York, you’ve got state employees demanding you pass their personal religious test before they’ll help you. That’s not religious freedom. In fact, it’s the opposite.
All my best,
The King of Spades

It’s a combination of me loving the song, as well as the beginning of wedding plans for my brother, but I can’t stop watching this video:
And a follow up, this awesome video from the HRC:

New additions. You get points if you know their names!
I’ve read two of these books (I can’t find the third one), and they are great, although it’s been a while, so I don’t remember much. But anyway, I’m very excited for this:
More soon!

Dan Savage has written many times about the fact that opponents of equality say that homosexuality is a choice. And if it is a choice, they should choose to blow him…and like it.
I know I’ve quoted him along those lines a few times, and I finally found it on video. It’s past the 10 minute mark, but the whole interview is great (Savage and Olbermann ran into each other a performance of “Book of Mormon”)

Note: I can’t find the graph, but I’ll keep an eye out for it
Take a look at the graph above.
It was illegal to be in a relationship in some parts of the country until 2003. That year, the Supreme Court struck down any remaining “sodomy” laws.
Yes, we’ve come a long way, but let’s not sugar coat it. Any relationship I would have been in, less than ten years ago, would have been illegal in parts of the country.
It’s hard when we hear politicians ask us to wait, when we’re told we’re not a priority. Why should our rights have to wait?
All my best,
The King of Spades
I used to work for GameStop, and when I have the time, I love to play video games (certain ones, in particular, not really into FPS), so it’s nice to see the supreme court realize that it’s not video games at fault, but the fact that parents need to parent:
The Supreme Court on Monday struck down on First Amendment grounds a California law that barred the sale of violent video games to children.
Again, parents need to be involved in the lives of their children. Heaven forbid.
