Found a bookmarks file from 2008. Loaded it up and amazed that quite a few sites are still around. More than I expected, anyway. 2008 me was on some shit, though.

None of them actually give a shit about, say, women's sports, or comic books, or Star Wars. It's obvious cuz if they try to tackle the subjects in depth, they just embarrass themselves. They don't know basic shit!

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

Going outside in 50 degree weather and feeling warm sun has gotten my brain chemicals all discombobulated. Smile on my face, cavorting and shit. I may frolic later.

Got asked if I was at work. I am proud of my answer.
"I’m at my desk, oppressed by the technology which tests our resolve and makes us dress but I must confess, while I profess to be my best, I understand that need causes stress and a childlike state is how I’d regress out this mess."

Capitalists dont get excited about technology they are excited about the profits that technology brings. The main group of people that are truly excited about the advancement technology can bring human well being and its capacity to remove or reduce certain difficult tasks are socialists

It's past time for everyone to understand that just because someone registers and runs in an election as a "Democrat" doesn't mean that they deserve to be treated as one. Just look at the Nazi in Maine, or the Ogre in Pennsylvania, or the previous mayor of NYC...

If you forget Cee-Lo was charged with SA, got off and took to Twitter to explain it ain't rape unless it's violent. Fuck that dude.

In this fucked up world, there is NO ONE who could be killed by another human being and not have SOMEONE say that they deserved it. Not kids, not old people, no one. I don't know if that says more about us as humans or more about how it's okay to be absolute assholes now.

I just did a tech thing that makes me very happy, and my to-dos today will be to do a bit of writing, solve some work problems, and have tacos. Let's see how this goes.
