15 of the Deadliest Corporations →
stay-human:
These corporations, if they were individual human beings, would be locked up for life. Instead, they continue raking in the big bucks. Human rights abuses, murder, war, eco disasters, and animal exploitation keep these evil companies raking in the green. Prepare to be disgusted.
I don’t think the list is in any particular order. Even if you don’t agree with all of them (eg. the...

Jon Stewart: You don't think two affairs hurt someone who thinks of themselves as a champion of traditional marriage?
John Oliver: What could be more traditional than the arrangement that Gingrich proposed? Throughout history Jon, traditional marriage has meant powerful men doing whatever the fuck they want, whenever the fuck they want.

talldarkbishoujo:
Do minority students get more than a fair share of college scholarships? That myth reared its head earlier this year after a Texas nonprofit, the Former Majority Association for Equality announced plans to give scholarships only to white males. The group claimed that white males are disadvantaged because they don’t “fit into certain categories or ethnic groups.” So Mark...

The U.S. media and political authorities unanimously ridiculed the intense emotions that were displayed in public by the people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on the sudden death of their leader, Kim Jong Il.

House Kills SOPA →
stfuconservatives:
In a surprise move today, Representative Eric Cantor(R-VA) announced that he will stop all action on SOPA, effectively killing the bill. This move was most likely due to several things. One of those things is that SOPA and PIPA met huge online protest against the bills. Another reason would be that the White House threatened to veto the bill if it had passed. However, it...

neil-gaiman:
I thought I’d remind those of you on Tumblr who are writers, producers or actors (and that smaller group of you who are “rights holders”) that ACX - Audiobook Creation Exchange - is a wonderful thing, and it works.
Here’s the press-release type anouncement we did when it went live: …
paranoia: lol everyone thinks you're boring and ugly haha someones talking about you right now omg your friends don't even like you that much they just pretend because they don't wanna sound mean but really you bore them and are so awkward no one can even bear to talk to you and everyone thinks you're weird because you actually are haha you're gonna die alone.
