maxomaiCHEERS to progress on an Iranian nuclear deal, which could sink, once and for all, the case for war with Iran. Naturally, Bibi is not happy.
Feh to NATO, which can't make up their minds about what to do about the Ukraine Civil War. France and Germany, of course, want peace. The US and UK, of course, want to show NATO's strength, even if it means turning the war into another proxy war between the US and the Russian Federation. You'd think that one such proxy war would be enough.
CHEERS to same-sex marriage in Alabama. If SCOTUS's refusal to grant a stay is any indication, we can expect a 7-2 ruling declaring SSM-bans unconstitutional, with Scalia and Thomas dissenting. (Which would mean that I is right about the margin, my high school classmate is right about Scalia, and we're both wrong about Alito.)
JEERS to Samsung. In 1984 America, you watched television. In 2015 America, television watches you.
JEERS to Brian Williams for making shit up about his close encounter in Afghanistan. Now that that's done, maybe the Tea Party idiots can stop over-reaching about it.
CHEERS to the GOP for finally realizing that Sarah Palin is a fucking moron. CHEERS also to Bill Mahr for calling them out for being so blinded by partisanship that they didn't see it sooner.
CHEERS to the series Carmilla. Yes, I binge-watched the whole first "season" one day. (Quit looking at me like that — it's engaging stuff! And the Night Vale influence is quite obvious.) More on how "lesbian vampires" have become mainstream here.
JEERS to the Grammy Awards. You'd think, among all the autofellatio in the entertainment industry, they'd at least dedicate a few seconds in their "in memory" segment to the undoubtedly influential David Brockie.
