Our psychological state allows us to see only what we want/need/feel to see at a particular time. What five words do you see?
- Rage
- Enigma
- Secret
- Cut
- Crush
Uh wow. So I saw:
1. Rage
2. Malice
3. Suicide
4. Hate
5. Secret
I thought I was in a pretty good mood, too …
Man, she is stunning without all that black shit around her eyes.

Here is a Georgia State Trooper in riot gear at a KKK protest in a north Georgia city back in the 80s. The Trooper is black. Standing in front of him and touching his shield is a curious little boy dressed in a Klan hood and robe. I have stared at this picture and wondered what must have been going through that Trooper’s mind. Before the Trooper is an innocent child who is being taught to hate him because of the color of his skin. The child doesn’t understand what he is being taught, and at this point he doesn’t seem to care. Like any other child his curiosity takes hold and he wants to explore this new thing that this man is holding probably because he can see his reflection in it and that’s a neat thing and he wants to check it out. In this picture I see innocence mixed with hate, the irony of a black man protecting the right of white people to assemble in protest against him, temperance in the face of ignorance, and hope that racism can be broken because this young boy may remember that a black man smiled at him once and he didn’t seem so bad after all.
Wow.
Wow indeed, such a heavy picture.

Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from—things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it.
Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve—bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this.
There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.
But, hey, at least it tastes good, right?
High five, America!
*smack*
Bitch Magazine’s analysis of the Huffington Post’s linkbaiting technique is especially resonant because I doubt many people have even caught it. As a regular reader of the HuffPo, I myself have obviously seen these articles and techniques on a regular basis, but it took this video specifically pointing it out to me for me to even take notice. Because we are so consistently berated with this type of attention-grabbing, it hardly even makes an impression on us anymore (at least not consciously).
I would be interested to see what would happen to HuffPo’s readership if the site removed such forms of linkbaiting.
Awesome video. Can anyone tell me what this woman’s name is? I adore her.
Why I don’t read HuffPo.
And they published some fatphobic bullshit that linked to my blog once.
