“I’ve seen a ton on the facebooks about “thanking veterans for their service.” As a veteran let me just be very straightforward and honest with you. We didn’t “serve our country”; we don’t actually serve our brothers/sisters or our neighbors. We serve the interests of Capital. We never risked our lives or spent months on deployment away from our family and friends so they can have this abstract concept called “freedom”. We served big oil; big coal; Coca-Cola; Kellogg, Brown, and Root and all the other big Capital interests who don’t know a fucking thing about sacrifice. These people will never have to deal with the loss of a loved one or the physical and/or psychological scars that those who “serve”, and their families, have to deal with for the rest of their lives. The most patriotic thing someone can do is to tell truth to power and dedicate yourself to building power to overthrow these sociopathic assholes. I served with some of the most real and genuine people I’ve ever met. You’ll never see solidarity like the kind of solidarity you experience when your life depends on the person next to you. But most of us didn’t join for that; we joined because we were fucking poor and didn’t have many other options.”

Who would GoT stars choose for their Hand? →
tvguide.com
Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) I think possibly I would go with somebody like Nietzsche. Somebody who was really a philosopher, a good advisor, a guider… But I would probably fight with him nonstop.
Robb Stark (Richard Madden) - My dad is pretty smart. I think he’d have my back. Yeah, keep it in the family. I’d put my dad there and keep an eye on what he’s doing.
Jon Snow (Kit Harington) - I’d have my brother Jack probably. He probably would try to steal the throne from me actually, but I think if anyone’s going to try to steal it off of me, I’d want it to be him. And he’s an inherently a good person so I think he’d rule the kingdoms quite well.
Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) - I would have to pick my mom because she gives me good advice all the time, as I’m growing up. I think she’s been a brilliant Hand of the Queen.
Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) - I’d want someone funny, someone a bit like Bronn, a comedian maybe. I really like Lee Evans actually. He’s kind of my same humor and does a lot of impressions that are funny, so yeah, probably Lee Evans.
Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) - If I were on the Iron Throne and I had to choose a Hand, I would want Tyrion. He seems to have every angle covered. But assuming I can’t have a Westerosi character, I would choose Sigmund Freud. He could get to work on Joffrey and Cersei’s complex relationship, and I would get Joffrey an electric guitar and lessons from Metallica as he needs to channel his blistering fury into something less psychopathic.
Jaime Lannister (Nicolaj Coster-Waldau) - If I were on the Iron Throne, I’d call my sister and say, “You want to be queen?”
Renly Baratheon (Gethin Anthony) - I’d like to first point out that I’ve never sat on the Iron Throne set or otherwise. But if I were to sit on it, I would choose my best mate Don, who when I was at school, we were in prefects together. And he was a wonderful, wonderful right-hand man. I think he’d be brilliant at it.
Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) - It would be Aidan Gillen as Littlefinger, definitely. You know not to trust him, but he’d be a brilliant operator for you.
Ygritte (Rose Leslie) - The novelist Georgette Heyer wrote my favorite book, These Old Shades. In the book, there’s a character called the Duke of Avon. He’s a seriously cool character, very slick. I think I’d have to go for him. I love him. I love reading that book over and over.
Gendry (Joe Dempsie) - I would pick legendary soccer manager Brian Clough who managed a football team that I support in the late ’70s and ’80s. He was quite a character and took no prisoners. One of his most famous quotes was when someone asked him if he as the best manager in the country. He said, “I wouldn’t say I was the best manager in the country, but I’m in the Top 1.” Michael Sheen played him in a film years ago called The Damned United.
Lancel Lannister (Eugene Simon) - If I could choose somebody to be my Hand to the King it would probably be, if he were alive, Peter Sellers. There you go. Peter Sellers, before he did Dr. Strangelove and went insane.
Irri (Amrita Acharia) - I was thinking of a superhero. Let’s have Wonder Woman. She’d be by my side, she’d be my mentor, why not?
Note: I have no idea why TV Guide paired Wonder Woman with a pic of Peter Dinklage. It should be with this gorgeous woman:
three things from today
- when we were out biking, some weird old guy legitimately thought i was my dad’s wife. so awkward.
- in my images of masculinity and femininity in film class today we watched this documentary called miss representation about the portrayal of women in media, and oh my god you guys, i’ve seen a lot of stuff about the portrayal of women in media and this was the greatest one i’ve ever seen. it covered so much and it was so incredibly fascinating and horrifying and sad and inspirational and thought-provoking and if you are a woman or know any women (aka EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD READY GO) you need to watch this.
- i’m DONE WITH SCHOOL EEEEEEEEEEE and life is fuckin glorious. i can go to bed if i want to, i can watch tv if i want to, i can read, i can blog, i can do whatever the fuck i want because i don’t have any more homework or exams or school YAY PRAISE DARWIN
The Awfulness of Classical Music Explained →
huffingtonpost.com
this is pretty much a far superior version of a paper i wrote for musicology first semester. fascinating.
ok but here’s the thing though— if making noise and moving around was a thing you could do during concerts, it wouldn’t just be done to react to the music, it would be people talking to their neighbors, people leaving in the middle of a piece to go to the bathroom, whatever. and all of that is perfectly fine at a rock concert, but classical music is so different, it’s just not big and loud enough to absolutely command everyone’s attention if the code of “you have to be paying attention” isn’t there.
i definitely agree that classical concerts could be more enjoyable, especially to an “outsider,” if there was more audience participation/engagement, but i don’t know if encouraging a free-for-all is the best way to do it.

“I like clothes, you know. I dig fabrics. One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you’re in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you’re not it does just the opposite. It’s like, ‘Hey, there’s an asshole.’ But when you’re in the woods you’re like, ‘Is there an asshole out here?’ They look like trees.”
