“What’s your worst escalator story?” -Metro Pulse
Roland Washington (image of smiling black man wearing black fuzzy cap): “Man, I was on the Dupont Circle escalator when it stopped. It was the worst experience of my life. It was a wreck - there were kids falling down; we had to walk over people. Now, I elevate.”

These cookies look like flying saucers, and are probably crispy around the outside and chewy in the middle. Fail? More like win!

Remember that part from the movie?
I posted this a while ago already, but I thought it might go better with a picture.
It’s funny, because God was played by Morgan Freeman.
haaaaaaaaa.
And I dare anyone to come up with a better god than Morgan Freeman!

JP Morgan Investor Report: Huge Corporate Profits Resulted Directly From Reducing Wages And Benefits
As ThinkProgress previously reported, since 2009, 88 percent of income growth has gone to corporate profits, and only 1 percent has gone to wages.
They’re not creating jobs, they’re creating profits. Tax those profits, I say! Give them a reason to put it into the employee’s hands if they don’t want the government to have it.

“This ad really spoke to me, in that it featured a talking vagina”
To quote Colbert, what you are about to see, you cannot un-see. And you will probably want to re-see it multiple times, because it is that good.

Blind Man Uses an ATM for the First Time, Takes 11 Minutes
This is why accessibility matters.
Have you ever been waiting for the ATM to dispense your monies and seen that little headjack for blind people and wondered, hey, how does a blind person use an ATM? This video shows what happens when Tommy Edison, a blind man, uses the ATM for the first time. It takes him 11 minutes.
Overall, it seems like whoever designed the ATM didn’t ask a blind person to try it out first.
Exactly. There’s no excuse for this.

Dear Herman Cain,
When asked “Have you ever been accused, sir, in your life of harassment by a woman?” the correct answer is not “HAVE YOU?”
If you are unwilling to respond with the truth, at least attempt a clever response, such as “your FACE is accused of sexual harassment.”
Hugs,
Andy “The Nerd”

Tea Party Demands That Slavery Be Removed From History Books
Aww, do we need to call someone a waambulance that our mean ol’ history books are infringing upon their ideologies?
FACT: Twelve presidents owned slaves. Shhh!

I value diversity, I really do. I am a black homosexual feminist as much as a white heterosexual male can possibly be. But…
Ah yes, the old “I’m not X, but…” followed by X (and in this case, even containing X).

Anonymous asked: You’re not getting it…
…Racism is a survival mechanism entrenched in our DNA. It is not unlike the male proclivity to want to procreate with every attractive female he sees. It is how we banded together to compete more effectively for scarce food and territory. Civilization is our mechanism for beating these impulses, but it is imperfect. We will always have flash points at the intersections, which is why America has the most racism but is also the least racist country in the world.
You have a really ineffective rhetorical style.
If I ever see evo psych used for anything other than defending bigotry, I’ll sing Yankee Doodle while wearing a bra on my head and calling it macaroni.

Ironically sexist post lacks self-awareness.
Good news genderqueers, women, and all people of non-privileged gender, sexism is not rampant in the atheist community because this dude says so!
If I see one more stupid post by an atheist about how sexism is rampant in the atheist community, I am out.
… Shut the fuck up already.
So show some gentility all you atheist ladies and defer to the man, mmmkay?
Genderqueer with a touch of happy humanism.
