George A. Romero’s Land of the Dead

Raid on a zombie infested town for supplies. 

“I thought this was going to be a battle. Its a fucking massacre.” 

The use of fireworks to mesmerize the zombies, the overwhelming firepower used to wipe most of them out and raiding the town to secure its resources for the rich and powerful of Fiddler’s Green is often cited as a commentary on the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. “Shock and Awe”, superior firepower to the point of overkill against an outgunned enemy, all for the purpose of stealing what they have to benefit the rich. Along with the the vast inequality in the fortress city, Romero also satirizes the imperialism of late phase capitalism.

Fat Bear Week 2019 officially ended Tuesday night. And the winner is….

Number 435, or if you prefer a name, Holly.

Fat Bear Week has been an annual event for the past five years in Katmai National Park and Preserve in southwestern Alaska. The idea is to publicize and celebrate the process of bears eating as much as they can to build up crucial fat reserves in advance of winter hibernation.

Park rangers made a game out of the process – a March Madness-style bracket matching bear against bear, each with photos proving girth and inviting the public to vote on the fattest bear in each pair.

So I made a thing.

damn look at the notes on this bad boi 

Yeah, we had a policy in my high school where both people in a fight got suspended. Kinda figured if someone started hitting me, I’d just have to lie there and let ‘em do whatever they wanted until help arrived. I mean, I’d probably get hurt, but at least I wouldn’t get in trouble.*

*as a teen getting in trouble was scary for me, so perhaps don’t @ me about how that wasn’t a very smart idea, and how the administration should have changed their policy. Yes, I know.

I am honestly surprised these schools don’t end up constantly in court over these policies
