An awesome statement on something we should all strive to do whenever we can.

Buy something and keep it in good repair as long as you can. Eventually industry might get back to making things that last. We can hope, right?

Then again, I spend an hour or so every week fixing stuff around here, usually toys or stuff *I* myself bust. So I’m all on board with this notion without even realizing it.

My first thought about this somewhat intensely investigated story is that one look at this pic and I can’t stop thinking that Banksy is Saul Rubinek.

Republicans don’t believe in science.

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I know otherwise bright people who think the GOP is teh shiznit. Engineers, educators, database gurus. But they just pull the lever. They aren’t looking at who they are voting for. Or – worse – they know and do it anyway.

You’ve got a party that doesn’t believe in evolution, or sex ed, or math apparently. Definitely not in climate change. Certainly not in the scientific method.

It would be pathetic if it wasn’t a plot to dumb down our nation long enough for them to hold power for another generation.

I like this.

Companies who support groups like ALEC for their business stances are now being targeted for being in bed with a group that in recent years has a) made it legal to shoot black kids based solely on whether or not they are wearing a hoodie, b) try to, for example, disenfranchise half a million voters (which is the plan here in Minnesota) to solve a supposed voter fraud problem which – if it occurs at all – shows up in about 0.00002% of all votes cast, and c) don’t start me on the immigration BS they are pulling in the past and future Treason States.

So, yes, if you fund this, knowingly or not, expect a backlash.

At this point, screw Kraft. They want to side with bigots, they don’t deserve my coin.

Well, when you put it that way, it sounds awful.

Oh wait, it was *already* awful.

Yeah, let’s start caring about our fellow citizens instead of just pretending we do.
