Normally I don’t post photos that aren’t my own, but the cast of Star Wars doing silly things is an obvious exception.

Hands down the best Roger Ebert tribute out there. I don’t know how these guys keep doing it but I never want them to stop.

"What Marriage Is"
Sometimes I like to read articles written by people on the right-wing of the political spectrum. Know thy enemy, and what not. Here’s a gem from The Heritage Foundation, going on about the current Supreme Court hearings on marriage equality:
Marriage exists to bring a man and a woman together as husband and wife to be father and mother to any children their union produces. Marriage is based on the biological fact that reproduction depends on a man and a woman, and on the social reality that children need a mother and a father.
This almost makes sense. Except that it doesn’t. What about people who don’t want children? What about people who can’t have children? What about people who shouldn’t have children?
If this whole idea that the Heritage Foundation is pitching really is true, then marriage laws absolutely need to change. First off, we’ll need mandatory fertility tests. You’re getting marriage in order to raise children, so you better be able to have them. You would have to sign a legally binding contract stating your intent to reproduce, and if you haven’t done so by a specific date you’re marriage would automatically be dissolved. And of course there would be mandatory personality and aptitude tests ensuring that you’re capable of raising a child. Of course if you fail, you’d be put on a big list of people who are never to be issued marriage licenses.
If The Heritage Foundation is right then every possible thing should be done to make sure a marriage results in a child. Except they’re wrong. Marriage isn’t about child-bearing. It’s about love.
Also taxes.

She says that it’s my fault and she’s probably right.
She’s probably right because everything was going so well and suddenly was broken by the simplest mistakes. Now it’s all lying about in pieces and the best we can do is try to sweep them together, try to gather the bits that remain. Except we’d all have to try, and I think I might be the only one who wants to.
But she’s probably right.

I liked Argo right up until the point where the made it seem as though the “Thanks You Canada” material was a clever rouse to divert suspicion from the CIA. It’s a good movie, but it wasn’t “based on a true story” It was inspired. I understand that a story about Canadians saving Americans in wouldn’t have sold especially well. That’s no excuse. Here’s the real story for anyone who’s interested. CSIS doesn’t get a lot of credit, most people don’t know they exist. But they do a good job and deserve a better story.

Pineapples made of class are a treat to the eyes of those who wish for them to be sand, when actually all hobbits want to see is there fellow hobbits try and play cricket. Truly sad this sand storm that swept away all those amazing pineapples, truly sad.
But then again the moon can be out whilst the cows attempt to becomes the pirates they wish to be. Oh little silly line that is visible when ones eyes point towards the cold floor of an abandoned barn.
This is a text message I got at 2 am.

Here’s hoping the Young Solo movie is two hours of Han and Lando cruising in the Falcon, crackin’ wise and bangin’ alien broads.

So there’s gonna be a new Fall Out Boy album. Fifteen year-old me just got a really angsty boner.
