The UK and Denmark are so poor, so immoral, so without humanity, so uncivilised that they will steal the last belongings of refugees. What sad, pathetic countries. How embarrassed must their people be?

I'm going to need people who have no fucking clue how Venn diagrams work to please refrain from making them. The first image is an atrocity shared by a friend on FB (and that friend is not responsible for the abomination, and is a good person so I'm not posting this back on FB).

The second image is a proper Venn Diagram (one of several possibilities, I think, but the most common one).

The shitshow, the omnishambles, the clusterfuck...

  • How is Clockwork Orange a combination of 1984 and Brave new World?
  • How is Logan's Run a combination of Fahrenheit 451 and Handmaid's tale?
  • How in green blazes is Gattaca a combination of clockwork orange, Soylent Green, and Brave New World?
  • Et Goddamn Cetera

NONE of the overlaps make any sense. Whoever made this just threw scary book and movie titles in spaces. They should not even be informed of the existence of the proper 4-category Venn. They have proven themselves deeply unworthy.

I am guyjantic and I approve this unhinged rant about an inconsequential matter.

@Windspeaker Hudson's Bay (HBC) has not fully returned native artifacts to First Nations. While there is a call for repatriation from First Nations groups, HBC proceeded with the auction of 4,400 artifacts and artwork, including some that may have significance to First Nations. Canadian Tire, which acquired the Bay's brands and some leases, is not directly involved in the ownership of these artifacts and is not expected to honour or assume responsibility for their repatriation. #ForShame

@cbcnews @ottawa-cbcnews CBC does not advocate for women in these contentious trials. Rather than highlight the sexism and misogyny rampant in the questioning of the victim, CBC tacitly condones the questioning, implying by their silence that she may have in fact, attracted this to herself. #ForShame

@cbcnews @ottawa-cbcnews Sexual assault victims are the only victims ever questioned about their behaviour, the way they were dressed, etc. How many victims of robbery are questioned about their behaviour prior to the robbery? Were they wearing a short skirt? Walking down the dark street alone? Did their behaviour invite the robbery? Did they leave the door unlocked? These contentious questions are strictly for women. Misogyny and sexism at its finest. #ForShame

Israel is doing to the ruins of Gaza precisely what lawless thugs did to the west in early part of 20th century, most were ex-soldiers from Spanish-American Wars, some old enough to be ex-Confederates, hunting remnant Indian bands trying to stay alive after we'd slaughtered the buffalo in worst economic act of war in world history. #forshame The west has never recovered. Now the water is poisoned, the land is dead, and S.D. has the highest rate of syphilis in the country. ffs, are we done yet?

@auxonic #ForShame. A Nazi bar is a Nazi bar is a Nazi bar. If you’re drinking in a Nazi bar, you’re a Nazi. #endOf.

@cbcnews Once again your headline provides a slanted view of facts. It is so very disheartening to see our Canadian broadcaster morph into #FourthEstateFilth. Rather than position political issues accurately, you give prominence to the opinion of #ChairmanHarper, the face of the rise in global fascism and the man who sold our cultural assets to #Postmedia in his desperate bid to win the elexn. #ForShame
