A Funkaoshi Production

One week, I was stopped for photos six times while perusing comic books in downtown L.A. The next week, I sat faceless in a room of 40 people vying for a menial courier job. I’ve walked a red carpet with $80 in my bank account. Popular YouTube musician Meghan Tonjes said she performed on Vidcon’s MainStage this year to screaming, crying fans without knowing whether she’d be able to afford groceries.

Photoshop for good.

Fisher’s case only makes sense if you assume that people of color are inherently less worthy than white people. How else do you justify an argument that assumes that every white person should have been given a shot before minority students do?

Won’t someone think of the mediocre White girls!

I feel like people worry about the wrong stuff when it comes to raising children.

At least, I assume she’s trolling.

It’s extraordinarily telling that less than a year out of the election, the top three GOP candidates can all be described by the same two words: “Career narcissists.”

An interesting look at what happened to people who ended up internet famous, from Miss South Carolina Teen USA to that couple who danced to that dumb Chris Brown song.

For the second time in two years, Cheri DiNovo has some tough words for members of her own political family. The NDP MPP for Parkdale-High Park says the federal New Democrats’ setback in the October election is a sign the party is losing its way. DiNovo thinks party officials aren’t owning up to their failures, so she’s breaking the silence herself, as she did after her own provincial New Democrats faltered in Ontario’s 2014 campaign.

A ‘moving’ cover of the New Yorker for a moving story.

If you hear someone still chirping about bombing Syria they are probably ignorant, an asshole, or both! “A 5-minute history of Syria’s war and the rise of ISIS” does a good job explaining just how fucked things are on the ground.

I was reading these as he was posting them. He’s so funny.

They say “fuck” 153 times in this article.

I pity people who fucking practice in the court of public opinion. When people would interview me I didn’t give a fuck. And it wasn’t studied not-giving-a-fuck. [Mimsy voice] “Oh no, I don’t give a fuck.” I genuinely didn’t care what people thought and I still to this day don’t care what people think of me. There’s a bit of my brain that’s missing.

This is a great interview with the man behind Oasis.

About Paul Graham, famous for blocking me from retweeting him on Twitter. (I made fun of one of his tweets.)

I just finished his show Master of None, which was fantastic, and has a whole episode about the portrayal of Indian people in Hollywood. (I’ll have to write more about the show later.)

Jose Bautista writes about his infamous bat flip—the highlight of the whole baseball season.

Dat shrug. I am enjoying Trudeau so far.

My friend Alex is now a famous weaver.

Some books I should go read, one day. I more or less stopped reading non-fiction because my choice in books would leave me feeling angry.

This whole article is crazy. My debt seems so pedestrian. Ha!
