How to make a 17 year old's head explode

A step by step guide from a substitute high school teacher.

Items required: 1984 by George Orwell; a laptop equipped student body; four cups of coffee

1) Drink all four cups of coffee in under two hours. (If using espresso, make them doubles)

2) Substitute for an eleventh grade class reading 1984

3) Tell the students to open their laptops and check their email

4) Have gmail users raise their hands

5) Explain how gmail reads their mail and use someone’s screen as an example

6) After the commotion dies down, ask them this question, “How many of you have a camera on your laptop?”

7) Get the janitor.

3D Star Wars can go FUCK ITSELF IN THE FACE UNTIL IT DIES.

The dailywhat ruined my day with this post from THR. Now I ruin yours if it hasn’t already been ruined. 

I know. It’s only a movie. They’ve already been ruined forever. There are worse things that can happen. Still… this just fucking sucks.

I hate George Lucas. I fucking hate him.

Cliff Schecter explains what some of the better Democrats used to look like; progressive, outspoken, liberal, and badass. 

I vowed never to vote for a major party again after blowing one on Obama. If the Democrats want to court people like me, they had better start showing me some moves like the ones in this article.

For Savage Love readers who don’t read anything else: Christine O’Donnell is the Tea Party wacko who won the Republican nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in Delaware. She is famous for three things: getting her loony ass endorsed by Sarah Palin, viciously gay-baiting her straight primary opponent, and opposing masturbation because it makes the baby Jesus cry.

I’m all for masturbating to Christine O’Donnell, HATEFUCK, but why limit it to one day? So I hereby declare every day between now and November 2—when O’Donnell’s nomination costs the GOP a Senate seat—to be Masturbate to Christine O’Donnell Day. Rub one out for freedom, people!

Dan Savage, in response to this letter:

The time has come for you to use your influence to pick a day between now and the November election and declare it Masturbate to Christine O’Donnell Day in either the state of Delaware or the entire United States of America. This needs to happen, and you’re the only guy who can do it.

Hiding At The Elusive Fuzz Under Christine’s Knockers

Mysterious force holds back NASA probe in deep space → telegraph.co.uk

THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME. Too awesome in fact, so I checked it out and here’s some more opinions, reactions, and interpretations. Scientific consensus: WTF.

  • Scientific American
  • Gizmodo
  • Daily Telegraph

itsfullofstars:

Researchers say Pioneer 10, which took the first close-up pictures of Jupiter before leaving our solar system in 1983, is being pulled back to the sun by an unknown force. The effect shows no sign of getting weaker as the spacecraft travels deeper into space, and scientists are considering the possibility that the probe has revealed a new force of nature.

Aliens perhaps?

Scientists initially suspected that gas escaping from tiny rocket motors aboard the probes, or heat leaking from their nuclear power plants might be responsible. Both have now been ruled out. The team says no current theories explain why the force stays constant: all the most plausible forces, from gravity to the effect of solar radiation, decrease rapidly with distance.

I am continuously astounded by how little we know about the universe (and planet) that we inhabit. Its humbling.
