la vida es una tombola

I'm in my 20s and live in Austin, TX.

La vida es una tombola: A tombola is a lottery, or the word can also refer specifically to the rotating drum full of bingo numbers. Which is what life is.

kellydeal:ayse: “Sirs: Was it necessary to show such suggestive and provocative photographs of Steve McQueen and his lovely wife…? I am no prude but your magazine is seen every week by our most important national asset, the teen-agers, and you are setting a bad example by displaying such photographs.” —a reader writing in about LIFE’s super-sexy photos showing McQueen at home, 1963 (ohnotheydidnt: Sexiest Men of the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s) I wonder what that reader would say about the magazine landscape today. Also it’s no surprise McQueen is a total badass even in short shorts.

Last night I had a dream that Richard Linklater and I think maybe Mike Judge* were discussing the art of filmmaking and I was getting angry and impatient because I either had to take one of them to the airport, or needed to get something from them to send FedEx.

I think it’s fairly straightforward what my subconscious is trying to tell me about my current job.

*(Apparently not only can I not recognize him in person, but I can’t recognize him in my dreams either. sorry.)

I was searching the ol’ dashboard for “beards,” trying to show Paul this listicle on the 15 scariest beards of all time, since he’s decided to just not trim his beard until at least the beginning of 2010. Anyway, this popped up as a result. And let me just say that I wake up every morning next to a fluffy beard, and this is not a beard. ps. Colin, Jemaine Clement you are not. hoppzor: :Q I think I like beards now heckyeahnerdymen: Another Colin Hanks,  with scruff.

The whole thing is great. I wanted to just quote my favorite sentence, but I can’t narrow it down. Also, does Carlos Mencia get a pass because his hand isn’t in a puppet??
“Can we please not pretend like this is a thing? The fight against political correctness is such a nonsensical throwback argument to the early-’90s. No one is pushing for “political correctness” as a decontextualized blindly dogmatic philosophy. What people are pushing for is not pretending that racism and homophobia and misogyny and anti-semitism don’t exist, or trying to camouflage these things as “jokes.” Suggesting that hate speech is offensive and upsetting and dangerous if used in an unilluminating and…well, hateful way is not “politically correct,” it’s just correct. If Jeff Dunham wants his puppets to “say” the word nigger, or whatever, he should just do it. That’s his constitutionally-protected right. But please, let us not pretend that it has anything to do with a non-existent, hyperbolic, media-created movement from 15 years ago.

Uh, yes, Jeff Dunham, you were walking into something there! You try to insult all races and ethnicities equally except for your race and ethnicity? You know what that is called? EXTREME RACISM.”
