"Let me tell you a story. The day after Columbine, I was interviewed for the Tom Brokaw news program...."

Fri, 17 May 2013 18:53:13 -0400

“

Let me tell you a story. The day after Columbine, I was interviewed for the Tom Brokaw news program. The reporter had been assigned a theory and was seeking soundbites to support it. “Wouldn’t you say,” she asked, ‘that killings like this are influenced by violent movies?” No, I said, I wouldn’t say that. “But what about ‘The Basketball Diaries’?” she asked. “Doesn’t that have a scene of a boy walking into a school with a machinegun?”

The obscure 1995 Leonardo DiCaprio movie did indeed have a brief fantasy scene of that nature, I said, but the movie failed at the box office and it’s unlikely the Columbine killers saw it.

The reporter looked disappointed, so I offered her my theory. “Events like this,” I said, “if they are influenced by anything, are influenced by news programs like your own. When an unbalanced kid walks into a school and starts shooting, it becomes a major media event. Cable news drops ordinary programming and goes around the clock with it. The story is assigned a logo and a theme song; these two kids were packaged as the Trench Coat Mafia. The message is clear to other disturbed kids: If I shoot up my school, I can be famous. The TV will talk about nothing else but me. Experts will try to figure out what I was thinking. Kids and teachers at school will see they shouldn’t have messed with me. I’ll go out in a blaze of glory.”

In short, I said, events like Columbine are influenced far less by violent movies than by CNN, “The NBC Nightly News” and other news media, who glorify the killers in the guise of “explaining” them.

The reporter thanked me and turned off the camera. Of course the interview was never used. They found plenty of talking heads to condemn violent movies, and everybody was happy.

“DiCaprio and Mulligan, meanwhile, don’t seem like star-crossed lovers so much as a delusional man in love with a bauble of a woman. Maybe that’s intentional?”

Severus Snape Does Not Deserve Your Pity

This!

Holy crap, all of this and then some.

“And that’s not real love—caring for someone without considering their happiness is the exact opposite of love, in point of fact.”

absolutely this. I’m so sick of people treating Lily like she had two options in life - James or Severus. Snape yelled the equivalent of racial slurs at her and sold her family to a psychopathic mass murderer. His story and his character have value, but if you’ve boiled that value down to unrequited love then you’ve missed the point of that character.

Sometimes I wonder if there’s anything you could post on tumblr and not offend at least three hundred people if it’s circulated widely enough.

So far observational findings point to no AND ALSO WE’RE COMING FOR YOU.

Safe and lonely at the same time.

Doesn’t sound so positive.

“90” diam x 235’; needles stiff and very sharp, +/- 3-sided (flat on top), 1/2-1” long, projecting equally on all side of the twig, light green with 2 stomatal stripes on top, bloom scant or lacking beneath; young twigs smooth, old defoliated twigs rough and scratchy with the peglike bases of the fallen needles; cones 2-3 1/2” long, light, scales thin and finely, irregularly toothed; bark scaly, thin (less than 3/4” even on huge trees); mature trunks very straight, round and untapering, though often buttressed.”

Either I’ve been spending too much time reading PNW field guides, or I’m getting a Beltane visit from the Green Man. I should probably spruce up just in case.

Other vehicles must not use this part of the carriageway except to pick up or set down passengers.

Um?

As a result, many were celibate by choice, while others had sex mainly because their husband or partner wanted it.

And if you still don’t get it, then may you be mooned by a portly baboon!
