I will forever reblog this because it makes me laugh way more than it should.

If we ever meet again I’ll say the words I wasn’t able to say eight years ago.
(When I first watched the series as a kid I thought this is what happened… It’s been debunked now though.)
As often as Kanye West talks about the state of his mental health, one would think that we’d be having a national conversation on mental health–kind of like the way we had a wave of conversations about domestic violence in the wake of the Chris Brown-Rihanna incident. Yet, in the four years since Kanye began talking openly about the depression related to the death of his mother and the dissolution of his romantic relationship with longtime paramour Alexis Phifer, the conversations have continued to be one-sided.
A search for “Kanye West and Depression” brings up surprisingly few articles and discussions. There’s a sterile AP article describing his initial comments, Cord Jefferson advising Kanye to go to a therapist on The Root, an MTV news article on his path to recovery, and Tom Breihan in the Village Voice distilling 808′s and Heartbreak down to “emo bellyaching” and a “album-length tantrum at his ex.” While Bassey Ikpi later argued to have some compassion for Kanye, it was one small plea in a sea of indifference and condemnation.
After four years of being open about pain and vulnerability, I’m starting to wonder if society will ever really hear him.
—The R’s editor/owner Latoya Peterson is posting about mental health—in pop culture and in daily lives—all this week. Check out her analysis on Kanye West’ 808’s and Heartbreak and how badly pop/media culture handled his discussing his mental health on the album on the R today. (via racialicious)

A clients was on his fourth set of revisions this week. He insisted each ‘revision’ be completed from scratch. His last revision involved changing the font, as they were ‘all mixed up.’ He (once again) insisted I start from scratch in order to fix the problem.
Me: Can you try and show me where…

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’

And just keep in mind that NASA’s current budget is less than twenty billion dollars. God knows what it was when all these technologies were created. Just imagine what they could do with more money?

Hmmmm….
I really doubt this is an ordered list of your biggest stalkers. I checked mine twice within a few hours of each other and the top numbers list were almost completely different.
