The Patron Saint of Irony and Assholes
I was looking around for a writing sample for a resume and stumbled across this piece I wrote a while ago, but I’m not sure if I ever posted it anywhere. Enjoy.
The Patron Saint of Irony and Assholes
I tell everyone that I joined the army for the college money. But I think I really joined because I was searching for some romantic myth to justify my politics. In the end, the only real...

Dear Coquette: On fucking the police. →
dearcoquette:
You keep bringing up the mantra fuck the police. I agree that the police can and do abuse their power and that reform should be an ongoing and continuous process. I also agree that the police are forced to enforce unjust laws that have led to an overcrowded and unsustainable prison system….
Absolutely perfect explanation.

Some brief thoughts on the Funky Cold Medina...
Tone asks the popular guy at the bar what his secret is, and he immediately tells him about FCM. THIS GUY IS OBVIOUSLY A DEALER. Any other guy would have attributed his popularity to his innate charm, great job, or huge dick. Only a dealer—and a skeezy fucking dealer at that—would admit to using a date rape drug so freely.
Obvious candidate for testing a date-rape drug? Yep, the dog. Who...

Another teenager killed himself because of bullying and anti-gay harassment. This one was in Minnesota, and his name was Justin Aaberg. The local news report is here. School officials, wary of conservative protests, did nothing.
This comes on the heels of the suicide of another teenager in Indiana, one who never actually said whether he was gay but who was...

Kanye West, Bon Iver Talk Collaboration
twentyfourbit:
Back in January of last year, Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon seized the moment in which Auto-Tuned jams ruled the pop charts by recording a decidedly shtick-less a cappella closing number with the pitch-bending software for his Blood Bank EP. As it turns out, the rumors Stereogum reported the other day were true: the song, “Woods” (stream below), caught the ears of Auto-Tune fiend Kanye...

What do you think about the phrase “Drill, baby, drill”?
The etymology of the phrase “drill, baby, drill” is derived from the legendary words attributed to Bill Epton, a militant black activist who was jailed for uttering “burn, baby, burn” in response to the Harlem riots of 1964.
