That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

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

Gawker network often does a Twitter-cull of people who are offensive about any hot topic, and the Obama speech about the shooting that cut into football (OF ALL THINGS) was prime fodder. These [link] are not equivalent in assiness, but what I note is that people tracked a not-that-subtle link back on the second guy ("Obama you stupid sand nigger get off my tv. Your just making the families hurt and miss their kids more and I want to watch football") and mentioned his post and other online indiscretions (bragging about drunk driving) to his employer, and their FB page now says they're looking into it.

Now, I don't think your boss deserves the key to your social media accounts, but if you're going to show your dirty underpinnings in public, WITH YOUR NAME AND PHOTO, oh, so very sad for you. Good lord. (His tweets are protected now...)

Yeah, people are stupid. Also, he got the wrong slur!

Oh, that's frustrating. I want horrible things to happen to everyone who calls anyone a sand nigger as a consequence of having done so.

Personal responsibility, people! Read the Cracked article! (But not the comments)

I did find a site that archived people's tweets. I didn't stay around long enough to see if it was opt in or not, but good lord. Doesn't take much to be a business model, does it?

Which reminds me, I forgot to line up a week of provocateuse posts yesterday. Didn't even pick a theme...must ponder on the drive home...

I just did an image search in order to find a teacup pig on tumblr, and the first proper hit (there's a nude man tucking his jewels in that batch of *safe* results) was the good stuff tumblr.

Which I should totally have predicted, because apparently my reflex way of searching for teacup pigs is "poquito". Ahah.

I went to a new optometrist today. My eyes are healthy! Prescription hasn't changed! I have new contact lenses to try, and I spent a very large amount of money on two new pairs of eyeglasses. One set of frames is dark brown with funky gold highlights and tortoiseshell arms, and the other is purple with teal around the lenses.

Then I accidentally got myself some things while picking up a present for my brother-in-law at the fancy booze store.

Man, today all your conspicuous consumption are belong to me.

Ha!

And the fact that I just hit J the first time reminded me of a funny thing I saw on facebook recently: The comment was "jajajaja" and FB offered to translate it for me. Bing translated it as "lol." Which made me laugh.

I've now bought 3 gift. I get $10 off giftcards through my credit card, and they had Kohl's, which my SIL can go to town at. So there's that. t /totally failing at xmas shopping this year

And I've now hit the panic state at both work and home regarding going out of town for the holidays. I'm trying to offload my psycho into lists. When decanting cookies to give away causes panic, that's bad.

I have a plumber in my kitchen, which is freaking my dog the fuck out. She is anxiously watching everything he does, which is basically what she did to me when I got her five years ago.

But yay I shall have a new faucet that works.
