Let me see if I have the right outraged FB person. "It is WRONGITY WRONG to elevate a dead guy to godhood, except if he is a musician I slept with a zillion years ago."

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Scrappy got it in one.
Ding, ding, ding.
I can't believe I didn't.

The arch nemesis of the Super-Ego!
Emmett's been teasing Matilda all year that "When you turn five you get a Super-Ego for your birthday."
As she just had her fifth birthday, they've been discussing the particulars of the super-ego a lot lately.
We had a substitute teacher this morning, and all the kids looked mildly anxious, except for the one who absolutely freaked the fuck out and clung to his mom like she was sending him down the storm drain to Pennywise the Clown.

>[link]As Sparky said, Derrick Bell. And while I respect everything Steve Jobs has done in terms of bringing easy-to-use (and pretty!) technology to the masses, I do rather wish that his death didn't completely overwhelm those of Bell and Fred Shuttlesworth, who was a civil rights leader.
In a better world, Bell and Shuttlesworth would be known more widely than Jobs. In many ways, they changed American life more than Apple did, at a more fundamental level.
