Weirdly Ironic

A Twitter pal pointed out:

This fall, we'll probably elect the first woman POTUS.  
And I promise it's all good and I'm down with that -

 but I'm still pullin' for the old white guy.

Today's Nostalgia

The more things change, the more they stay the same?

It shouldn't come as a big surprise that people start thinking in terms of "vast conspiracies" when the things most of us want to see change don't change.

Sometimes, it's easier to feel a little more charitable towards people who need to see "the hand of god at work".

But ya gotta confine your desire to apply that shit to the stuff you choose to know nothing about, and stop trying to shoe-horn god into the things that the nerds have already figured out.

Nerds rock, baby.  Love the nerds.
