To the moon!

So glad to not be a manager at this company

Politics here are ruthless.

No amount of money will make me want to do this again, at least not in a place like this.
It’s nice to have low responsibility and see past decisions validated.

Every building has a wisp of white – they merge and make clouds.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

after the rain

Listened closely to the lyrics. Haven’t realized how relevant they are, 7 years later.

You set yourself above
that all forgiving god
you claim that you believe in
your kind is gonna fall
your ship is sinking fast
and all your able men are leaving

only someone
who’s morally
superior can possibly
and honestly deserve
to rule my world

I talk before I think
You shoot before you know
who’s in your line of fire
so somehow we’re the same
we’re causing people pain
but I stand and take the blame
you scramble to deny it

only someone
who’s morally
superior can possibly
and honestly deserve
only someone
who’s morally
superior can possibly
and honestly deserve

to rule my world [10x]

explain to me one more time
when they kill it’s a crime
when you kill it is justice

Josh Marshall has a great term for what is happening in Oregon: white privilege performance art. We have people engaging in armed insurrection over the vast oppression of being asked to pay a small fee when grazing their animals on public land; surely an important part of the story is the fact that the perpetrators know that they won’t face the consequences that would follow if, you know, some nonwhite group pulled a similar stunt — and they’re be Fox News heroes forever after.

Paul Krugman, Deadly Snits

(via stoweboyd)

This is a missed opportunity for the radical movements on both sides to come together and do something useful for once – abolish the travesty that is mandatory sentencing.
The fact that even someone I respect as much as Paul Krugman only sees it through a partisan lens only shows what tragedy the U.S. politics has become.
