You must be kidding me

There's a "Make Me Asian" app on the Google Play Store.

And of course, the first comment (as of this writing; TDB sorts with the most recent at the top) on the article is a racist fuck saying, "It's not racist, it's fun."

Unbelievable.

I can't wait for the "let's go blackface" and the "give yourself a Jew nose" apps that'll surely follow. I'm sure they're just as "fun."

Meanwhile, here's a look at the current attempt to secede from the union. The editorial, as you can probably imagine, isn't half as vile as the supportive comments from folks who call Obama "The Kenyon." To quote Dennis Miller back when he alienated these folks instead of embracing them, "it's like Darwin's waiting room."

Happy New Year, right?

A realization

The video for "Stereotomy" probably cost in the five or six figures to cut and edit.

And my daughter could probably put this together in about twenty minutes.

But when I was thirteen, I thought this was the best video of all time (and I still like the song -- the non-Woolfson APP stuff doesn't always get the respect it deserves).

Some interesting stuff to read and look at

1. Here's a great profile of pickpocket/magician Apollo Robbins in The New Yorker. I was hooked from the opening anecdote.

2. Here's the Pixar-developed page for Monsters U. No, not the movie. The university in the movie. It's kind of brilliant (yes, I posted it to FB, but it's worth posting in all the places).

3. Popehat's wherein a right-libertarian sticks a toe in left-libertarianism and finds that the water is fine is one of the more interesting things I've read from someone whose politics I generally don't agree with (noting that I'm neither a right-libertarian nor a left-libertarian, but am generally more partial towards the latter).

4. This post on Tumblr starts in familiar territory (does anyone not see the abusiveness in Beauty and the Beast?), but then moves on to Love, Actually, and then makes its real point in the final paragraph about the difference between wanting to not deal with something, and wanting others to also not deal with it. Also, it uses the sentence, "Not a creature was stirring, not even the dudebros."

5. Finally, haikujaguar's long-awaited (by me, at least) Three Jaguars strip starts today! Yay!

A reminder

That even within the cesspool of US politics, there are few groups lower than House Republicans.
