Our wings are not tired.
It really bothers me when people spit out "politically correct" like it's some sort of lame ass thing to try and be decent to our fellow humans.
I've come to hate the term because it's become synonymous with "we're only doing it this way because there are sensitive folks out there..." kind of patronizing assholery. I am quick to cut people off when they start in with "it's not PC...ranty ranty mcrantypants" by saying, "it's not that it's politically incorrect. It's that it is not kind. It isn't decent. Don't use a euphemism for the fact that you're unkind."
Shuts 'em up right quick.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
National Geographic has an article on Peak Oil: [link]
Husseini worries that the world has been slow to wake up to the prospect. Fuel-efficient cars and alternatives such as biofuels will compensate for some of the depleted oil supplies, but the bigger challenge may be inducing oil-hungry societies to curb demand. Any meaningful discussion about changes in our energy-intensive lifestyles, says Husseini, "is still off the table." With the inexorable arithmetic of oil depletion, it may not stay off the table much longer.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I have an interview at 9:30pm with a company that contacted me. I didn't apply. It was supposed to be at a coffee shop but I got an email today saying the shop was closing early and gave me an apartment address to go to.
If I don't make it back someone will feed my cats, right?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm so stealing this!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And you know they called him Wolf because he already did the howling thing, right?

Like he showed up at auditions and they asked what special skills he had?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Or whatever.
Possibly I read that in pre-show promo, so it's not actually true.
