Thank you, to Garfunkle and Oates for hitting it out of the park with this song:
This makes me laugh, but it’s what we deal with all the time. A person makes some bigoted remark about how he thinks gay people are going to hell and then gets all upset when the pushback happens. The hypocrisy is staggering.
Let’s talk about gun control. Thankfully, America’s Best Christian, Betty Bowers is here to have the conversation:
In case you forgot, PA state Rep (from north of Pittsburgh, so not my elected official) Daryl Metcalfe is a bigoted, misogynistic,, racist waste of oxygen. He’s also been single handedly holding up the bills that would give me some equal rights in the Commonwealth.
In horrifying legal news, SCOTUS has declined to hear a case about employment discrimination, leaving a split in circuit court decisions. This will be the followup to the Masterpiece Cakeshop case.
I hope everyone is enjoying their post-Thanksgiving turkey comas. Let’s see what we have today. First up, an insane 360-degree water slide.
I’m sure you voted in this last election, and if you live in Allegheny County, you can check out amazing statistics about how everything went (you can drill down to you voting district)
And speaking of voting, need help getting people registered for the so, so important 2018 election? Indivisible has you covered.
And lastly in politics, this amazing song from Randy Rainbow:
And lastly, I just finished it, but here is the trailer for Season 2 of Lady Dynamite. Maria Bamford is one of my favorite comedians, but she is a very acquired taste:
That’s it for today, I’ll be back with more soon as November wraps up, have a great one!
And Jeff Sessions rescinded other protections for all members of the queer community. These are things that affect people you love. Be fucking pissed.
Okay, quick pallet cleanser. The new trailer for Super Mario Odyssey takes the form of a Big Band musical number:
After the horrific shooting in Vegas, just a reminder that your thoughts and prayers do jack shit. We need comprehensive gun control in this country, including a rescinding of the second amendment.
It boggles my mind that it takes something personally happening to someone for them to take action. It is not that hard to actually think about other people and try to imagine a better world for them, as well as yourself. But, predictably, when gun violence is close to a gun fanatic, suddenly, he realizes his mistake. It infuriates me that it takes a tragedy like this for him to realize how wrong he is, but hey, at least he came around I guess. I just won’t be patting him on the back for his sudden realization.
A Dutch news program takes on (with dark humor) the insanity that we live with here in the US:
Stranger Things 2 (or the second season, not sure what to call it) looks amazing:
The president rolls back the mandate for birth control under health care, because he wants to drive up abortion rates, the cost of healhtcare and get rid of preventative medicine. Just kidding, he’s a racist and since it is both something Obama put into place and a GOP wet-dream, it’s gone.
And I’ll just drop this here, the 10 things you need to know about Patriotism:
The Satanic Temple is amazing. They have announced that if the current prevails and bakers can deny gay couples wedding cakes, they’ll demand cakes for Satan. Because religious freedom.
You guys, the floor is lava. No really, THE FLOOR IS LAVA:
If you haven’t been convinced that ‘gay conversion’ torture is real, or harmful, new, horrific recordings have surfaced thanks to investigative journalism.
A new reality show is coming to (British) TV, and I certainly want to watch it: Bromans:
Hehe, it’s like I’m twelve, go read the headline and the article. And giggle. You know, if you’re as immature as me, or the writer and editor apparently.
First up, this came out a while ago, and it’s in French, but it’s Mika’s new single:
Gizmodo reports on an awesome free t-shirt which was given out to German white supremacists, which, when washed, revealed a message of equality. We had shirts over the summer that when they got wet the ink would disappear. Close, but not quite.
Unplggd has a cool article about integrating your TV into your decor. Check it out. Or check out their article about clocks. There are a lot of cool clocks out there.
Remember when the Pirates were doing awesome, and then we were the victim of a horrible call which sent us into a ten game losing spiral? Well, Benstonium put together this video:
Back before the split, Jason Alexander was trying to get humanitarian aid for those affected by the Netflix price hike.
A good friend is a huge Michael Buble fan, and I found this awesome bad lip reading of his video for “Just Haven’t Met You Yet,” which becomes “Russian Unicorn:”
