        That's because he posted this on Reddit asking if this is religiously offensive and now there is a firestorm of commentary. Can't wait to see Mike on TV!

          as a religious man i am more offended by charlatans and grievous wolves who corrupt the faith rather than an atheist making a parody Christmas card

              Here is wishing Happy Holidays to all! Whatever crap is going on in the world it is good to be around enough people that take a moment to inhale, let it out and bring a little more joy into the world.

              For the non-religious (and religious) this is the turning point where the sun starts increasing its presence once again. In spite of all our modernity it is worth connecting with something on a fundamental level when the promise of nature's abundant return meant something.

              Sorry, you southern hemisphere people are on your own.

                  Is it wrong of me to kind of rejoice that Scalia died? Now Obama gets to put another Democrat in the Supreme Court.

                    Not at all. His death deserved to be celebrated.
                    I also rejoiced after reading the news, rejoiced some more knowing Reagan's dead, then rejoiced a bit more knowing the Clintons will eventually follow.

                            i am wasting my life

                            dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective

                              I was rereading this article I wrote about why the 90s matter



                              And it occurred to me now that one of the reasons we have a bit of the 90s revival is that the people who are now running many media companies are in their late 30s any grew up in the 90s, so they are naturally referencing that period in their creative output.

                              Prime example:

                                I agree. I worry about the impact of the 90s revival on it's second target audience- the current younger generation- since it feels like the revival is encouraging the avoidance of personal talent/gains in favor of adherence to social hallucination.

                                http://www.resilience.org/stories/20...hallucinations brings up an interesting point of the connections between how the brain precieves television and remembers dreams.
                                This 90s nostalgia, I feel, pushes the younger generation back into a pursuit of the imagined "nostalgia" that they "remember", instead of looking at the state of art, music, literature, etc. and make a substantial change.
                                A bit extreme for a first post, woops...
