Fuck thoughts and prayers. I’m angry.
Fuck all the thoughts and prayers being thrown up in the wake of the worst mass shooting in American history. I’m angry. I’m angry that after twenty children between the ages of 6 and 7 years old were murdered in an elementary school, we as a nation said “never again.” Yet we’ve let this sort of thing happen hundreds of times since. I’m angry that our nation believes sitting in the comfort of suburbia while posting some “thoughtful” line on Facebook provoking prayer is acceptable instead of pushing to have a real conversation and action against hate crimes. I’m angry that people who just days ago were posting memes and links about transgender people…

I Think I Know How Mad Men Will End
I’m writing this at 10:30am ET, a little less than 12 hours to go until we find out how the greatest television show of all time will come to the end. And I think I just figured out how it’s going to end. Holy. F’ing. Feels. Matthew Weiner has said numerous times he knew from the start how it would end, and the ending is exactly as he pictured it. There’s MANY predictions of how Mad Men will end. In my head, I’ve never had an idea of what it might look like… until now. First off, two quick interviews I just read that sparked this idea. 1. In…
Budweiser pulled a classic Don Draper bullsh*t move with their Super Bowl ad…
“If you don’t like what’s being said, change the conversation.” Congratulations to the marketing morons at Budweiser for pulling a classic move that pretty much proved they’re aware basic zombies with no taste drink their beer, while everyone else with a brain knows better. Let’s ignore the Super Bowl puppy spot for a moment. Because, well, if you have to create an ad that has nothing to do with your beer, there’s probably something wrong with your product. And if you’re choosing your beer based off a spot about a puppy, you probably don’t have any real taste in beer, anyway. Let’s go to THIS. The now infamous Super Bowl anti-craft…
My Facebook “it’s my content!” legal bull$%&# post is a bit different than the rest…
Oh. I thought it was over. The basics are back to doing that again, huh? The ‘ol “ohmigod Facebook is changing something I don’t understand so let’s copy and paste some legal jargon into a status to fix that!” thing is back again. Oy. We ALL have a Facebook friend gullible enough to fall for that. Or, if you’re like me, not many anymore because you instantly unfriend them after they hit POST on it. Posting that in a status is the same thing as looking at your other half and yelling “I divorce thee!” three times, hoping that will magically end everything and save you from coughing up half of…
