File this in the really almost unbelievable category

People are actually paying for poetry

This makes my heart so happy!

More T.S. Eliot, please.

OccultHawk 05-08-2019 07:00 PM

I actually think in a few years I’m going to switch almost entirely from novels and non fiction to poetry

My brain has hit diminished returns on reading for information

I’m not getting smarter

My wife reads poetry aloud to our children.

I read poetry to the lost soul of my abortion.

I read dirty limericks to unattended children waiting for their school bus.

I greeted them with a hella creepy smile when they got off the bus and they paid me for it

Hawk has got the best 'catch phrases' if that's what you can call them. He really knows how to make the internet his bitch.

It's probably mostly worthless libtard bull**** though.

Migrants Apprehended At Southern Border Top 100,000 For Second Consecutive Month

We just can't arrest them fast enough! It's a real crisis. To fix it, we'll need trains, camps, genuine action. No more half measures, we need a final solution.

Former Air Force intelligence analyst charged with leaking Obama-era drone secrets

Anteater 05-10-2019 07:09 AM

Interesting look at what's going on in digital media right now. He also dives into what sources people primarily get their news from on Facebook and those numbers, which is pretty surprising.

"Is is" or "Isis"?

OccultHawk 05-10-2019 07:57 AM

The first thing I ever saw on Vice was an extremely premature and overhyped story about how we’ve pretty much already beaten cancer. Bad first impression for sure. The foreign affairs stories always have journalists who seem more like tourists. “I’m going into the hot zone!”

Just report the story, please. And remember you’re not the story.

lol at Ben Shapiro calling Andrew Neil a leftie.

He's almost more punchable than Donald Trump.

DwnWthVwls 05-12-2019 02:58 AM

My favorite are his anti abortion arguments. lul

Seriously though how many times do you think his mother slapped the piss out of him just to make him stop talking?

Lisnaholic 05-13-2019 02:36 PM



^ If this goes viral, to the embarrassment of Grassly and the GOP, I would be pleased.

Grassly: Don't worry that I voted seven times to end your life. McCain stopped me.
[ c.f. Trump: Don't worry about obstruction of justice. McGahn stopped me. ]

Georgia professor found dead near hot tub of man who kills himself, another man is arrested

Just sharing to point out one of the most poorly worded headlines I've ever seen. "Man who kills himself" sounds like some kind of circus act.

I’d have gone with Arrest Made After Gay Sex Hot Tub Murder Suicide Circus Thing.

The Batlord 05-14-2019 12:53 PM

Is that supposed to be some kind of weird gay orgy murder?

San Francisco is first US city to ban facial recognition

Ngl, this is the opposite of what I expected when I saw San Francisco and facial recognition in the same headline.
