My Variety Of Religious Experience →
bmichael:
oneweekoneband:
It was an emotional reaction. Sometimes, and I believe I’ll get to this in a later post, you feel like you’re broken down inside — soupy — and it’s not your fault. Or everything lights up for you, not in a way that makes anything clearer — the opposite of that, really — but everything lit up. Or you feel like you’re very far away from where you’re supposed to be,...

A POEM FOR GINSBERG
criminalwisdom:
by A.D. Winans I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by greed, not so starving hysterical, naked under their fashion designer clothes driving themselves through congested city streets looking for non-existent parking spaces aging hormone-driven biological clock mothers offering their purple-veined breasts to baby suckling zombies, in and out of public Whose...

Look, Paula Deen’s shenanigans with the pharmaceutical company are reprehensible, but that’s far from the only reason people are getting judgy about the recent news that she has diabetes.

Eyes Fastened With Pins
How much death works, No one knows what a long Day he puts in. The little Wife always alone Ironing death’s laundry. The beautiful daughters Setting death’s supper table. The neighbors playing Pinochle in the backyard Or just sitting on the steps Drinking beer. Death, Meanwhile, in a strange Part of town looking for Someone with a bad cough, But the address somehow...

I Go Back To May, 1937
I see them standing at the formal gates of their colleges, I see my father strolling out under the ochre sandstone arch, the red tiles glinting like bent plates of blood behind his head, I see my mother with a few light books at her hip standing at the pillar made of tiny bricks, the wrought-iron gate still open behind her, its sword-tips aglow in the May air, they are about to graduate, they...

Sweden recognizes new file-sharing religion →
elvis-shrugged:
We are living now in William Gibson’s world. Fiction has become fact:
“The church holds CTRL+C and CTRL+V (shortcuts for copy and paste) as sacred symbols.”
[The Church of Kopimism] was founded by 19-year-old philosophy student and leader Isak Gerson. He hopes that file-sharing will now be given religious protection.[…]
“Being recognised by the state of Sweden is...

on ron paul fanatics and the problem therein
swifty: the people saying this shit, BY THE BY, are the same fucking r/atheism stains who make image macros about how taking the bible literally makes christians look like lunatics
me: RIGHT i eman
swifty: so for the record, that's the bible you SHOULD take literally to discredit it, and the ron paul newsletter you SHOULD NOT

me: like
me: there is just a dearth of experience w/r/t suffering
me: among most of these people
swifty: yes, the sort of people who are so privileged, they have the ability to read about what political candidates offer and treat it as a laundry list of things they will be able to thereafter receive
me: RIGHT
me: YES
me: RIGHT
me: oh my god
me: well said
swifty: and believe that this can all be accomplished via the internet
me: right
me: and i'm not saying that being mid-20s and white straight cis male is BAD
me: i'm just saying like
swifty: if you are that, you absolutely need to think about people other than yourself
me: mid-20s white straight cis males have a, um, a history of not shutting up when they need to

me: idk

me: like
swifty: B-b-but I'm so smart!!! Why should I listen to you, a Dumb Brown TitHaver
me: life is not debate team, dudes from nice public schools
me: just because we disagree does not mean we are debating
me: you know?
swifty: ugh
me: that is not always appropriate

Eh this is completely wrong. He was actually quite fond of the Reagans. It was at a White House dinner however. Here is what...
