Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

intelligent people who are pissed that things aren't changing as fast as they want them to and are going to "punish" the people they voted for by letting them get voted out. Yeah, that's going to help.

I'm tired of basically left-wing people who unload with this scary vitriol of "You voted for Obama and things are still shitty! He sucks and WHAT ARE YOUUUUUUUUUUU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? No, don't pass the buck and try to explain it [using rational discourse about the way a goddamn country the size of the US changes] -- I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHAT YOU, personally, are going to do to MAKE THINGS CHANGE RIGHT NOW!!!"

Because it makes me think, Hi, Ativan is nice, and Wow, tone down the fucking rage.

It's weird that I'm defriending both right-wingers and left-wingers on Facebook. Anyone who does the textual version of screaming like Sam Kinnison automatically gets axed. I don't have to deal with that, so I won't.

I want to make a website that is just sort of, "Here's some good shit that happened today."

That is an excellent idea.

Could it be a group blog? We could all contribute to it. (By "all," I mean "whoever wants to," not "You MUST DOOOOOOO IT!!!!" like the political freak-o above.) Like maybe on Wordpress, or something?

perhaps Meg Whitman shoulda done a bit of research before basically handing Jerry Brown the best political ad this year.

That is beautiful! It's great when you can get your opponent to write your ad copy for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure it should be a tumblr called fuckyeahgoodnews.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There'd have to be a cap on how much "good news" could be pictures of Tom Hardy, though.

A high cap, that is.

Well, only new pictures. News!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm pretty sure it should be a tumblr called fuckyeahgoodnews.

Well, there is Happy News.

Oh my god, we should totally do this!

Because books.

I would totally read fuckyeahgoodnews over Happy News. ::nods::

Yeah, I'm kind of serious. And totally in. We just have to make sure there's one thing a day, right?
