I have made 2 versions of 2 nun gifs, and thought I'd post them here for those who don't have/follow me on Tumblr. Source, which is also a fun swingy song.

Will post them in a reply.

Really, really excellent article about the economic and social situation of America, and how we've gotten here by David Simon, creator of "The Wire":

David Simon: 'There are now two Americas. My country is a horror show'

I don't think I've ever read anything that so perfectly encapsulated what I see in our country and how I feel about it. And it really reinforces for me how completely skewed all our perceptions are. I see my politically active friends obsessing over tiny battles over what some politician said or whatever, and no matter how much I agree with them, I just feel like it's all missing the point. Arguing while the Titanic goes down. While I sometimes feel like one of the only people who sees the water rising.

I don't know, obviously this is all just my personal emotional reaction to the piece. But I also know that in order for the country to get to the 1932 place Simon talks about here lots of people had to die of poverty, and more died in bloody union riots for DECADES before anything legislative happened. Rich people in America were justifiably TERRIFIED of a mass bloody revolt in the early 20th century because that was the level of the anger. And I see how very, very far we are from that and how much suffering there is between here and there and it fucking scares me.

Yeah, cheerful Sunday morning thoughts.

Preemptive video links for Mark Watches
Week of December 8:



[image from SPN 1x15]

THE WEST WING
5x03
5x04
5x05

SUPERNATURAL
1x19
1x20

VERONICA MARS
1x13
1x14
1x15
1x16
1x17

A few helpful reminders:
* These are dead links until Mark actually uploads the videos.
* Suspicious queries to the site (like an absurd amount of clicking on URLs that don't exist) could get Mark into trouble or even get the site shut down, so please don't click the links every five minutes.
* Mark frequently tweets when he's watched an episode, so keep an eye on @MarkDoesStuff for that and then give it a few hours to upload before you start clicking.
* If you're getting a slow download, that means a bunch of people are all trying to download at the same time. Wait a bit and try again.

Pica picks apart Welcome to Night Vale

These posts contain unciphered spoilers for the whole show. I'm going through the transcripts, looking for clues concerning what might happen with the current plot line. It's for my own amusement, and is in no way meant to be taken seriously. I posted the dissection of Ep. 1-23 last week. Starting with Ep. 24 below.

Solitair Watches Classic Doctor Who 1x5-11: The Daleks

On these episodes of Doctor Who, the show demonstrates the first evidence for its longevity. http://therealsolitair.tumblr.com/post/6939237327...

If anyone here wants to provide context for the genesis of Doctor Who, especially regarding the state of science fiction both British and televised at the time, I would be most grateful.

What does this "As always, remind us if you want to be added to the list of people who get the time stamp of their "verbs" posts edited so that you can find it through sorting comments by date." mean?

I've read it a few times and I still don't understand what it means by editing the time stamp? Can't any of the posts be sorted by date already?

Attention, Sailor Moon folk!!

Sorry about not posting the thread on Friday; I was out of town all weekend and forgot to throw the post up Thursday night.

So that means on Tuesday, we're due to watch episode 44. That ought to give me some time to catch up, at least! :D

So I got my holiday card from Mark yesterday, and I thought it might be nice to start a thread here to share what I got, and for any others who want to share the awesomeness of their cards with Spoils.

Would anyone be interested in liveblogging the 1968 version of The Lion in Winter at some point? It's my favourite holiday movie, and I haven't watched it yet this year.
