1. I made up the word “glamorisé” in my french oral today, when “embelli” would have done fine.

2. The bus driver definitely saw me running down the street towards him in my bright blue/white/maroon striped colours blazer, and chose to drive away with seconds to spare instead of stopping and waiting.

3. I saw a man (hardly a man) walking down the street with a bleached blond mohecan, military boots, jacket and bag that were obviously not from his career, and an Anonymous badge sewn into his bag.
The point of Anonymous is that they are ANONYMOUS. If you put a dissing great badge on your bag proclaiming to the entire world that you are part of the group, or indeed just a fan (more likely the case) then you are defeating THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE ORGANISATION. What the fuck.

This post, rant, musing, whatever you call it is in response to a speech that Ed Miliband made in the House of Commons today (that’s part of the British Parliament, non-brits)

Mr Miliband was complaining about David Cameron and his Tory government, himself responding to the Queen’s Speech made today about government policy for the next 2 years.

He made some very valid points. The government *isn’t* coming up with many (or any) decent policies. Over a million young people are jobless, households are facing increased tax and decreased benefits. And what has the government latched onto? The EU referendum.

Something of a pet peeve of mine, David Cameron promises to provide such a referendum, with the promise of either leaving the EU a little bit, or leaving it entirely. Staying is apparently not an option.

And UKIP (read slimy bigotted racists, non-Brits) have enjoyed a surge in popularity recently. Half a year ago the Tories ridiculed them, and now some MPs are calling for a coalition with them!

All this boils down to the fact that 3 years into government, with 2 years left, the Tories have cocked up pretty nicely. Voting Labour is looking more and more attractive to me, and doubtless many others. BUT.

And this is quite the BUT, unfortunately.

Ed Miliband is pretty pathetic, sadly. He lacks charisma, he has a funny lisp, he has puffy hair, poorly kept facial hair at times, and overall looks a bit like a Muppet with somebody’s hand shoved up his arse. Also, he’s called Ed.
It’s a shame, but I really can’t see him as Prime Minister material. David Cameron pulls it off ok with typical Eton- and Oxford-educated confidence, but Miliband lacks something.

Call it shallow, but if he pulled his appearance together a little in the next two years, I feel Labour would have a lot more of a chance at power.
It’s not that hard: get a nicer haircut, have speech training lessons to get rid of the lisp, go to the gym a bit more to tone up some, and for the sake of holy Mary in heaven, STOP CALLING YOURSELF ED.
Ed Miliband owns a used car dealership in East London. Edward Miliband is the next Labour prime minister. Simple as.

Rant over.

I object to the imagery used to back up this rhetorical question.

It is the same society in which we exist as human beings, homo sapiens, who as omnivorous organisms are physically designed to kill other animals and eat their flesh in order to gain sustenance. Be thankful you are sufficiently wealthy and privileged that you can afford not to eat meat, let alone do kill them yourself as thousands of people did not 200 years ago in order to survive.

Objectively, wasting perfectly good resources on “moral grounds” is simply ridiculous. There are people all over the world who would kill to have some food, and you’re sat there pondering over whether or not to have Agouti beans for dinner. For goodness sake stop pratting around, if you’re gonna be vegetarian you’re free to be so, but don’t go flaunting it around like you’re somehow automatically superior to everyone else. Messed up brainwashed society indeed.

That being said, I am all for compassion and non-violence towards humans, but that is an entirely different kettle of fish.

fucking beautiful. she’s like the voice of yael naim with the words and music of regina spektor

Anais Mitchell - NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Set List
“Shepherd”
“Young Man In America”
“Tailor”

it is literally identical to gangnam style:

the music is the same with the funny grinding slide-synth thing

the rhythm of his rap is the same

the catchphrase/chorus is the same with different words

the video is THE SAME. we have:

  • funny horsey dancing
  • childrens’ playground dancing
  • group of old men doing old men things and occasionally dancing
  • girl doing exercise
  • butts
  • girl’s butt doing exercise
  • girls in a group with psy dancing
  • stupid elevator scene
  • dancing on top of people scene
  • strange swapping between sensual psy and girl’s faces scene, reaching to a climax with the music, before the chorus in a large stadium-style room with smoke and people dancing in lines

IT’S ALL THE SAME. YOU CAN’T EMULATE SOMETHING THAT GAINED POPULARITY THROUGH SPONTANEITY IN ORDER TO GET MORE POPULARITY. IT DOESN’T WORK.

I’m not even that disappointed since I knew this was going to happen.
