Masturbation is at the heart of the culture wars because it offers women autonomy. Furthermore, men who masturbate are less likely to see women as the keepers of something men desperately need.

People in a filthy disgusting exploitative business don't want to deal with porn stars.

I loved Ray Manzarek's organ music so much that I even tolerated the guy braying crap like "Our love become a funeral pyre" on his records.

Once again Barack Hussein Obama shocks the conscience of the nation by doing something all the white presidents have done.

Tumblr is not going to be as much fun if everyone has to come in to the Yahoo! office to do it.

I wish we had the kind of humane health care system where a man could quietly ask for the mental treatments he desperately needs instead of having to go on the air and announce that he wants to shoot Hillary Clinton in the vagina.

(For some California local definition of 'morning'!)

About 30 minutes ago one of our databases (sb-db03) locked up and stopped serving traffic. This was an active database, so the site quickly stopped when it could no longer serve requests. Alas.

I have failed us over to a backup database and now everything should be working again.

I'm not sure yet what happened to db03, but am currently investigating and will update this post if I come up with a root cause for the problem. Edit: It's back up and doesn't have any visible problems. Disks are fine, data's intact, etc. The graphs and logs show nothing. We'll have to keep an eye on it and see if it manifests further issues.

Sorry for the trouble, please let me know if you still see any problems!

Good news

In Cuba, a member of the royal family is leading the defense of sexual minorities, and Uncle Fidel has apologized for the bad old days. Good for them!

Thanx to Feministing

An Australian politician has apologized for liking an illicit picture of a teenage boy on Facebook. In the picture, the boy was partaking in the time-honored Australian tradition of "sneaky nuts," whereby he was furtively exposing his genitals.

That ornament* to the Senate House of Representatives Louie Gohmert performed the difficult feat of making Attorney General Holder look good. I am happy to join in on the Gohmert pile-on.

*The German word for "ornament" is schmuck.

Happy birthday, [livejournal.com profile] akirlu. I don't know if it's anybody else's birthday because lj is malfunctioning, presumably as a result of unprotected contact with Facebook.

I posted this to dw because lj will accept crossposts but not direct posts.

Race is a social construct

When the liberal says "race is a social construct," he is not being a soft-headed dolt; he is speaking an historical truth. We do not go around testing the "Irish race" for intelligence or the "Southern race" for "hot-headedness." These reasons are social. It is no more legitimate to ask "Is the black race dumber than then white race?" than it is to ask "Is the Jewish race thriftier than the Arab race?"
