Idiots once again responsible for latest outbreak of infectious disease.

Remember, people who CAN get vaccinated and DON'T get vaccinated are plague-ridden filthy diseasebeasts, and should be shunned.

Sequels We'd Like To See!

By Jade Law

Another Jade Law

These are excellent!

Pop quiz!

Best movie to walk into blind, knowing nothing about the premises or the plot. You're permitted to understand and recognise genre tropes, but you should NOT know any specific things, including what genre the movie is, before you sit down in a dark room with popcorn to watch it.

My contribution: Dark City.

Yours?

(Of course, you should not explain WHY your movie is The Best Movie To Walk Into Blind. That would kinda defeat the purpose.)

Second-order question: What if you're allowed knowledge of previous movies in the series or by the same director, but must walk in blind to the current iteration? For that, I suggest T2: Judgement Day.

Brendan Reich, newly minted CEO of Mozilla, unrepentant supporter of homophobic causes, has a message for all of You People.

Notice how he says he's devoted to making MOZILLA a place that supports everyone, while still feeling that his efforts to make CALIFORNIA a place that does not support everyone do not merit mention?

Notice how he still refuses to even make the token effort required to say that his previous gay-bashing actions[1] were maybe, possibly, slightly not cool? Or that he MIGHT have possibly changed in the last 6 years?

Notice how he still thinks that everything would be better if only all of You People would just shut up and stop making such a big deal out of his materially contributing to causes devoted to your non-person-ness?

Dear Brendan: Start by apologising for treating gay people as subhuman. Promise to do better in the future, now that you know something that you obviously didn't know in 2008, and explain WHAT it is you had wrong. Until then? Fuck you. Stop trying to pretend you're not a bigoted asshole. Until you apologise for being a bigoted asshole in the past, you can't stop being a bigoted asshole NOW.



[1]: Actions. Not opinion, not feeling, not speech. Dude gave a significant percentage of a US worker's annual wage to a cause whose SOLE goal and SOLE purpose was to treat a minority as subhuman, because he hates them. And he attached Mozilla's name to it in the process. People who want to complain about "some executive's opinion": You are full of shit. This is not "just his opinion" even if his bigotry being "just an opinion" would have made it okay. Which it doesn't.
