– The Prison of Offense

There’s the one thing that sticks with me from this sermon, and I tweeted it a minute ago:

Offense is an event.
Offended is a decision.

I plead forgiveness in my heart for any that I hold any sort of issue with this morning.  Life is too short to go walking around angry at someone and they don’t even know it.

There’s some stuff here I need to work on too; I’m far from perfect.

I was thinking of a good description but couldn’t really settle on one.

I don’t think the universe hates Belfry right now, but it certainly is taking a certain perverse pleasure in seeing her misery in her attempts to take care of Tamberlane.

By my nature, I’m not very clumsy–so I don’t quite relate, but I do empathize with her situation.

Tamberlane: Chapter 1 Comic – Print Run!

Belfry is forgetful, accident-prone, and irresponsible, but a snap decision to take in a young creature will change her life forever.

Key GOP Senators Emerge From Meeting: No Hearing For Obama SCOTUS Nom

“We believe the American people need to decide who is going to make this appointment rather than a lame duck president,” said Majority Whip John Cornyn. 

Sen. Lindsey Graham said that “there’s no use starting a process that’s not going to go anywhere and we are going to let the next president decide,” when asked why there would be no hearings.

“Presidents have a right to nominate just as the Senate has its constitutional right to provide or withhold consent. In this case, the Senate will withhold it,” McConnell said. “The Senate will appropriately revisit the matter after the American people finish making in November the decision they’ve already started making today.”

To Congressional Republicans, but particularly to you three hog cocks:

Fuck you.

Your Congress is already legendary in doing the least work in the least number of work days of any Congress since the 18th century, and your sole aspiration in life is to drive yourselves to exhaustion in order to do even less. You know the arguments against, you know the morality against, you know the most base humanity against, but you still proceed in receding because you cannot abide that a black man has more power than you or your bloodlines ever, ever, ever will.

Furthermore, fuck you.

You squalling snotty children in leather geriatric bodies, you melting homunculi of blind loyalty, you feeble furious fear-fellating fanatics, your behavior, your choices, your exercises of free agency, your actions are why you have wrought your own trump, why you are without a future. I curse you to live long enough to see your precious patriotic Reagan-party conservative continuity disintegrate. I curse you to linger thirty more years in existential dread as you watch the world do far better when it forgets your very name.

There is no profanity eloquent enough to condemn you and your entropic kind to the flea-shit dust of the history that you so proudly stand athwart. So go take turns fucking and eating out a goblin shark, you molerat-faced white trash.

Additionally, fuck you.

Reblogging, so you folks can get a good look at who is actually “destroying America”, but also for my friend Jack’s commentary, whose craft in profanity rivals both the Bard and Dennis Leary.

#that commentary is a piece of high literature

Legends, by Nicolas Dominique

dalkenstarbyne:

Hey, guys! My good friend Nicolas Dominique just dropped his new album, Legends! It’s all Fallout: Equestria themed and inspired in that trance, chillout, and ambient style you all know and love. Oh, and I may have written and performed the vocals on a couple of the tracks, too. Give it a listen!

Heard a preview of this: I want.  Just… need to wait until Monday when I has monies.

Hottest July day ever recorded in England

England has seen the hottest July day on record, with temperatures hitting 36.7C (98F).
The Met Office said the reading had been registered at Heathrow – breaking the previous record set in 2006.
A level 3 “heatwave action” heat-health alert has been declared for all parts of England.

What is this bullshit…. Fucking sun.

We British don’t do well in this type of heat. Unless we’re abroad.

Lol 98 degrees is nothing 

…when you have fucking air conditioning

And once again an asshole descends from the skies to mock a country not used to 98F and where people will die from the resulting heatwave. 

Nice. 

I can appreciate the utter… frustration of a large scale heatwave like this.  Brownouts are sometimes common in larger municipalities as everyone who has air conditioning tries to use it all at the same time.  Your houses turn into ovens, no amount of high-speed fan helps to dispel or cool the hot air; if it’s humid you’re sticky and miserable, lending a tendency to want to parade around the house or whatever domicile you have wearing as little as is decently possible.

Youth and seniors are especially vulnerable, as well as pets.  Provide adequate water and shade.  Stay as cool as you can, Denny!

FimFiction is down – 1337 Haxxor claims responsibility

Earlier today, fandom writing site “FimFiction.net” was taken offline. 45 minutes ago, an account attributed to “KekSec International” took responsibility for the takedown. 
“We just got rid of degeneracy by taking down #fimfiction http://ift.tt/VweBOG . Tango down and stuff.”image
It is unknown how long the outage will last.

Love the smell of Hypocrisy in the morning.

Earlier this week, Horse News received word that some pony websites servers were going to be targeted for takedown by some unknown “hacker” group. It is unsure if that threat is related to this event, however timing suggests it may be.

Just checked this out, and this is not one of Horse News’ joke stories. FiMFiction is actually down right now. I’m sure it’ll be up again in a day or two, but now I’m worried my stories (or any of my faves) won’t be there when it comes back

Organizations such as this (the hacker group) is why Christians are getting such a bad rap–the willful decision to lambaste and inconvenience others who don’t write porn can never be justified from any place, person or government. God’s command to us? Love the world, and love thy neighbor as thyself. Don’t tell it why you think it ABSOLUTELY must change and you’ll do whatever you see fit to make it that way.
