My professor having a personal rant on some chronically online commenter who chimed in his facebook status is never not insightful.

Posts about nonnaturalist realist do attract weirdos. I'm guessing the only reason weirdos were there isn't the philosophical jargon but the app my prof posted in.

Mr. Skippy, If You're Nasty

The harmless social media behavior that baselessly irritates me the most is the chain letter style "you have found the jpg of money/luck/whatever, repost now or you'll be torn in half by power slap enthusiasts"

It does no damage to anyone and is entirely innocuous i just think its annoying

I don’t know what the in-show lore is for when the IWTV vampires’ eyes are normal and when they’re all weird and bright. Is it arbitrary? Is it harder to turn off as they age? The writers are so meticulous that there has to be a logic for it.

As we watch the incredible cultural exchange of the world coming to our countries for the World Cup, heart warming videos tourists enjoying the little joys that we take for granted, I continues to confound me that we can look up the made-up lines of national borders and try to limit this human joy.

We’ve had enough!
And there’s no more words to placate me,
‘cos there’s an Icarus in all of us,
dreaming to take flight with proud wax wings.
