this is still the best story ever told at a talk show
But seriously why the hell is Retta not singing opera in every single episode of Parks and Recreation ever?

Why I Am A Communist
Interviewer:Okay, let’s turn to the word ‘communist’. For many in Britain (and many more in the United States) it is a scare word. As a result many on the anti-capitalist left prefer to talk of ‘democracy’ (prefacing the word with ‘radical’ ‘direct’ or economic’ so as to distinguish it from its ‘liberal’ variant). Why should we talk of a ‘communist’ horizon?Jodi Dean:Because ‘communist’ is the one word we have that signals anti-capitalism more than anything else. Really, when the anti-capitalist left uses the word 'democracy' they are signalling their own accommodation with capitalism. They aren't really anti-capitalist at all. They usually want capitalism with a human face, with a little bit less exploitation and immiseration. So-called radical democrats were at the forefront of jettisoning class analyses, of moving away from the economy and toward culture.Interviewer:But for many, ‘communist’ also signals ‘gulags’, ‘secret police’, ‘show trials’ and so on. The current predilection of Republicans to call everything, from Obama to a single payer health system, ‘communist’ is indicative of this.Jodi Dean:Actually, that Republicans call Obama a communist means that they are deeply threatened by anything that does not fall into lockstep with their own agenda of finance capital plus militarism. In other words, if they really thought that communism signalled 'gulag' then they wouldn't think it was attractive enough to be an actual threat in the contemporary US. Communism would be 'dead' and 'past,' 'over' and 'defeated' rather than something with emancipatory and egalitarian promise. So, I don't think that they are just repeating Cold War rhetoric. I think that they are inadvertently noting the truth of communism, its commitment to equality, to ensuring that each has access to employment, education, housing, food, and health care. -

why do living things gotta shit shitting is the nastiest thing it also takes too long and wiping ass is gross - an angry letter to god written from the bathroom
The psychoanalyst Ernst Becker devoted a whole essay to what shitting means to the absurdity of the human condition in The Denial of Death. He recognized that we, as a species, can build pyramids and lunar modules, write King Lear and Was ist Aufklärung?, and project our minds into the hearts of stars and most alien chapters in our history, but will always ever be tethered to an intestinal tract and anus, with all its foul smells and sounds and excretions. The tenderness of morality, and eternal sublimity mathematics, and the sublimity of the encounter of I-and-I and I-and-Thou are our birthright, but so is the wiping of ass, an indignity to which not even crawling beasts are subjected to. Alone among the animals we can speak and be understood; alone among the animals, we have the need to clean ourselves of our feces. We are “the god that shits.”

An ill-advised descent into the godforsaken underbelly of the world of theology, philosophy, politics, arts and sounds, funny pictures and fart jokes.
The title comes from a stoned Jack Kerouac.
