Just for fashion, not for function

I like how

every aerial photo on facebook of the anti-NATO march yesterday has a comment like ‘~lolz, this is OBVIOUSLY photoshopped!~’ I guess it’s really that difficult to believe that multiple thousands of people are against systemic war and austerity. Also, it would take some skilled-ass photoshopping to have that good of a job done like, right after the march when the photos were posted.

(By the way, I was there and there were actually thousands of people. That just doesn’t really help the news’ argument that we a are a tiny group of idealistic idiots who don’t even know what they’re protesting, so they tend to report lower attendance numbers.)

The day after Obama endorses marriage equality, it comes out that while in high school, Romney assaulted a student he thought was gay

Is it bad that I think neither of these things should be news? Personally, I think it’s a tad pathetic that it took Obama this long to actually say he supports gay marriage. I know it’s never been done before by someone this important and blah blah blah, but I thought we had basically made the connection that gay rights are human rights and therefore not that revolutionary to endorse.

And is anyone honestly surprised that Romney bullied a gay person? He’s clearly an asshole.

this is why I’m an atheist.

You may never, ever, deny a human being their rights because your ‘God’ says to.
