Great cartoon -- and seriously true. Make it "mentally unstable rich white man with unchecked power and the nuclear codes" and we're beyond "really scary" and into "surreal terror."

I loved the viewers-as-art series. It's hard to believe that some of the photos weren't staged, but I guess if you wait long enough. . . A million monkeys at a million typewriters or something.

I tried to start the career quiz, but I lost confidence in it after the first question. One of the options for "what do you like to read?" was "fiction novels." Um. . .novels are by definition fiction. That's the definition: "a fictional prose narrative." (Yeah, I know there are experimental hybrids like Capote's In Cold Blood, but even that is fiction on some levels.)

I found myself weirdly fascinated by that giraffe animation. Really compelling.

Thanks for a great batch of random!

*sigh*
I am trying hard not to think about it. At this point what happens will happen. I just have to hope that somehow people (the republicans?) will wake up and impeach that asshole out of office.

I know what you mean about the art museum photos. I mean they could have planned it, but I kinda have to take the artist at their word, you know? And it was a pretty cool concept. :)

Awww. Yeah, well I took the quiz because I was procrastinating researching on line and came across it, and realized I had a sad lack of quizzes this week. ;) Hopefully mu next list will have a better one. <3

You're most welcome!
