Ummm
YouTube suggests I watch Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” video.
Why?
Because I watched a documentary about the Milgram obedience experiment.
I can’t even begin to understand what message youtube is trying to send me here.

Suicide in the Trenches by Siegfried Sassoon
I knew a simple soldier boy Who grinned at life in empty joy, Slept soundly through the lonesome dark, And whistled early with the lark. In winter trenches, cowed and glum, With crumps and lice and lack of rum, He put a bullet through his brain. No one spoke of him again. You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye Who cheer when soldier lads march by, Sneak home and pray you’ll never...

The Blacklist/McCarthyism
It’s strange that 50 years after the height of McCarthyism, I still feel like I have to choose a side. I’ve been told McCarthy was great. More often I’ve been fed the subtle academia attitude that McCarthyism was somehow at least as bad as what was going on in the USSR.
But then there’s the blacklist. I would be sympathetic, maybe, to people being harassed over their views...

Dolce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of tired,...

coeus asked: Haha correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you were more shocked at the content of the photo, rather than the content I wrote under the photo when I reblogged. (=
But anyways, since you happen to be on Tumblr at the moment, I will ask a question. How do you get the "Read More" thing under text posts?? Would you know?

Bad-ass body parts
RIP
-Aron Ralston’s arm
-Beck Weathers’ nose and hands
-Douglas Bader’s legs
-Joe Simpson’s knee
————
Just saw “127 Hours.” In spite of the fact that it was actually quite badly directed in spots, you cannot make me not be interested in a guy chopping his own arm off (uh, spoilers?) I remember when it happened in 2003. Aron Ralston...

Can’t forget Woodrow Wilson and Henry Kissinger.
But never, you know, Raoul Wallenberg. Which they could have done before they changed the rules and you had to be (provably) alive. Saving 100,000 Hungarian Jews is nice. But it’s no bombing Cambodia or abolishing the First Amendment. Or, you know, seeming the kind of guy who will eventually do something for peace. And then give the...

monocled--misanthrope asked: "The point is, the people in charge are not to be trusted about what the American people should know or can't know. We need more documents. We need files on JFK, 9/11, UFOs, anything. Steal them all. If the government hasn't done anything wrong, it has no reason to hide anything. And history tells us that they always have reasons."
That was an excellent ending to...

Wikileaks
Is it too conspiratorial if I really, really think Julian Assange never raped anybody? He may be a bit of an asshole, but it’s just too convenient.
Fuck all the neocons crowing for his death.
How does it go again?
If you haven’t done anything wrong, you have nothing to hide.
What? That was only for us peons? Not the almighty government? Oh, okay.

Congressman Wants WikiLeaks Classified as a... →
statehate:
“King, a Republican Rep who will soon chair the House Homeland Security Committee, wants WikiLeaks placed alongside al-Qaeda and Hamas for the humungous document disclosure. The move, if approved, would mean at least some financial trouble for WikiLeaks, as a place on the list bars you from doing business with US banks—so no more online donations. Any assets held in the US would also...

And homework. In the mac lab.
Thanks J. for this brilliant idea. I like to have someone to drink beer with while writing a paper forever and ever all night long.
When it’s dawn, maybe I’ll microwave my ancient bagel all kid from “Evasion” style. Except that I actually go to this school, I didn’t just sneak in to get out of the rain.
