Dividing people into different kinds may seem like an exercise in meaninglessness, but it says a lot about the person trying to do the dividing. In particular the different kinds of “kinds” taken into consideration.

It doesn’t matter if the burning of fossil fuels causes climate change
The debate about climate change is running hot (no pun intended) through most political avenues. You may support the notion that it is caused by humans, or you may not. In fact, you may even question that climate change is a thing. But are we debating the right thing? Or are we missing the forest for all the trees?

Trump on the ground
That’s very nice. I would probably have gone more like:
Trump on the ground,
Jump jump jump jump…
But I guess I’m risking pissing off every American psycho out there so I guess I shouldn’t have… :O
Is The Swedish Government Covering Up Immigrant/Islamic Crime?
The claim that the Swedish government is covering up immigrant crimes or Islamic crimes has appeared now and again in foreign media, from Fox News commentary on Ami Horowitz documentary to “comedians” like Pat Condell.
Pat Condell, in his video “Bye, Bye Sweden” states that the Swedish government covers up Islamic crimes, because there are no stats on the religious affiliation of criminals, and American commentators are baffled to learn that there is also no documentation of ethnicity, or as they like to call it, race, in crime reports or crime statistics.

This Previous Weekend: the Swedish Trumpathon
Last Friday the following aired on Fox News (here’s a bit of a fact check on the “increase” of rape and violence in Sweden… and here is another produced in Sweden):
And then, in his Saturday speech, Donald Trump reiterated with the, now infamous words: “You look at what’s happening in Germany, you look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this?”

Paradigm shift:
Paradigm shift: Watching Fake News and arguing about alternative facts with my imaginary friends. Who could have guessed the world would change so drastically in a mere month?
Financing the Mexican-American Wall
Financing the Mexican-American Wall
Trump: The Mexicans will pay for the wall!
The Mexicans: No way!
Trump has his way with America. American refugees and asylum seekers start flooding the Mexican-American border.
The Mexicans: Let’s build that wall!
Trump: Didn’t I say so? I was right then and I am right now and I will always be right!
Facerape – No you weren’t fucking raped!
This week’s unrecommended word: Facerape
Facerape: The act of abusing someone’s Facebook account on a computer where they have left themselves logged in. (Urban dictionary).
So, what’s so wrong with this expression then? (I am sure someone “just has to ask.”)
Will Donald Trump End the World?
Well, I think we’re dealing with two possible scenarios here:
- When Trump gets to the point where he’s about to start World War 3 the US senate will kick him out on his butt with a vote of no confidence.
- Donald Trump is the leader of an evil alien invasion and the whole senate has been body snatched and they will placidly vote “yes” to anything he says. (This is an alternative fact).
I guess time will tell which one it is… (So far the jury leans towards case 2… oh, and the people that voted for Trump… this can be explained with mind controlling substances in the drinking water, more body snatching and, of course, chemtrails!)
Update: Given the current situation in the White House two alternative scenarios are rising stars on the horizon:
- Donald Trump will accidentally sit on the Football and start WW III.
- The Football will be stolen during a demonstration on a strip club and used to start the third world war. There’s also an alternative 4b where Donald Trump accidentally starts world war three while demonstrating the Football on a strip club.
Update 2: Of course he won’t end the world by doing something as silly as fumbling with the Football… he’s already started it on twitter…
New way to perform online commerce
Tidbit
In November 2013, Jeremy Rubin, a 19-year-old MIT student, developed a JavaScript program called Tidbit. This program was a concept/pilot, but the idea behind it was to use JavaScript to mine for Bitcoins.
It was thought as a replacement for advertisements. Instead of being overwhelmed by ads, a user visiting a site using this script would lend part of their processor cycles to mine for Bitcoins while surfing on the site.
