Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

In late breaking non-news, Scott Adams continues to be a dillhole.

If you look at that excerpt in the context of his entire blog post, then you'll discover that you're completely right. I was suspicious that it might have been taken out of context or satire, but nope.

I think the only possible context is that he is a jackhole brainstem who gives jackholes a bad name.

Scott Adams, ugh. The whole rage-inducing presumption that somehow, society is all women's fault

JZ, it's entirely our fault for choosing to be born with uteri. Duh!

And in completely different news, I offer the best thing on the Internet today: Batman in Culottes. (My favorite one is Pudgy Batman in culottes, thinking "So roomy!")

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hahaha. I love those.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That first picture almost looks more like a utilikilt. Which makes perfect sense to go along with the utility belt.

Damn, the riot makeout photo was staged.

No. At least, not based on anything there. I assume Buzzfeed-dude couldn't bother reading the article he linked to, since he's acting like "Aha, from this angle it isn't anything like what the photographer described!" but... it's exactly as the photographer (and others) described it. The Guardian's done several follow-ups. There's another photo from right after the kiss where other people are entering the frame to see if the girl's okay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I am so tired and cranky today, and a coworker just brought by some outside people she's been meeting with, one of whom I've been on a business trip with, and I had to hug her, and I'm all Casual Friday and ugh.

Damn, the riot makeout photo was staged.

There's a comment that rebuts this assertion. They say the overhead shot came later.

I also saw someone tweet the overhead shot to claim it was an assault.

The couple have been identified, and she was knocked down by riot police and struck her head. Her boyfriend was comforting her. [link]

Aha! Authentic Riot Kiss!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

As long as we're on the subject of really badass riot photos, there was an article on Cracked fairly recently that should definitely be linked here:
