Early Warning Signs of Fascism (Annotated)
In the US Holocaust Museum. I'm shook. pic.twitter.com/EeuHEXWusE — Sarah Rose (@RaRaVibes) January 30, 2017 Someone recently shared this tweet from the US Holocaust Museum, and it has some pretty insightful things to say about fascism.

I DON’T WANT A FATHER!
I posted this to YouTube exactly one decade ago today. It has amassed almost a quarter million views during that time, so it is really hard for me to delete it even though it has nothing to do with my channel.

My First YouTube Video: I’m Self Smarted

Imagine if America was a dictatorship…
This scene from “The Dictator” is the reason it was made.

The Scarecrow
The song you’re hearing is “Pure Imagination” from Willy Wonka as performed by Fiona Apple. After you see it, you’ll understand why everyone sold out to such a worthwhile video.

Cosmos (2014)
I can’t even begin to explain to you how excited I am about this. The original book/series did more to inspire and enlighten me than all of the schooling and indoctrination I’ve ever had.

This is the greatest radio performance in geek history.
What happens when you take some of the greatest voice actors of our time, give them the script to the original Star Wars, and assign them different voices for each scene? Nerdgasm! On March 31st, 2012 Billy West, Tara Strong, Maurice LaMarche, John DiMaggio, Kevin Conroy, Jess Harnell and Rob Paulsen (moderated by Jeff Zannini)…

Archive, Bullets, and Cyberpunk
This is what happens when you put a bottle of awesomesauce in a microwave oven for too long. I knew nothing about this game when I saw this trailer, but now I have this intense urge to play it. I think a lot of it has to do with the music. And here’s the official…

Queensryche’s “Silent Lucidity”

Racism and Vandalism in Lubbock

Then as they approach him the second time and attack him, one of them yells, “Coon!” You can hear them say “beaner” and a few other racially-charged things.

He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven by William Butler Yeats
Had I the heaven’s embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because…
