11:58a - "You're comparison is apples and vulcanized rubber."
So at Mock_the_stupid, ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) psychodyke42 posts about her friend who was bitched out by several girls in his art class because his project about 19th century British Parliament didn't include women.

1:11p - Childfree and kittens! Yay!
I think we've gone too long without a bit of childfree wank.
First, syr_labrys posts that she has a new kitten. It's a cute kitten, and many people tell her so.
However, thaily and dyfferent think it's off-topic and scold her mildly.
This causes syr_labrys makes a post apologising... and announcing that she's leaving. What a surprise.
And finally thaily makes a post letting syr_labrys know how wrong she was in great detail.
Sad that we can bitch about 'crotchdroppings' but we can't tell the rest of the community what nice things we can afford instead.

4:23p
I was inspired by the recent UCLA post to introduce to you my very own Southern California college wank, this time at Pomona College.
Recently, a semi-frat called OAD (don't know what it stands for) gave out a list of things inductees had to do. One of them was "Take a picture of yourself with 10 Asians." The Asian American community on campus went nuts, saying they were being treated like zoo animals. tonytiu then took it upon himself to write an excellent article on the event for the student newspaper, The Student Life (henceforth referred to as TSL). Soon after its publication on the TSL website, nasty racist comments started appearing in response to the article.
Horrible yes? That was my initial reaction as well. Until pomona_college suddenly turned into tonytiu's personal support group.
( a summary of Teh Drama )
There's wank all around on this one:
See! idiotic 13-y-olds who post racist things online for fun (be sure to check out their forum for some primo stuff).
Watch! as all the Pomona folks attempt to be more PC and sensitive than the last person, even though they're probably all white.
Be annoyed! at the OP, for making such a big deal about all of it.

4:56p - JRR Tolkein versus everyone on planet Earth!
Anybody can read what Tolkien wrote, and everybody's just dying to tell you what he meant.
The whole thing is here:

...but I'm cutting and pasting because you have to sit through an ad to see it. Doing so, however, will allow you to access a bunch of embedded links.
