For those of you so worried about a civil war and the military siding with the right-wing

Here's some army demographic information from 2016 that shows that whites only make up 53% of the enlisted ranks. Now unless you think every single white person in the military is racist I doubt that the military will be on the side of the rednecks. And if you do think that well then fuck you, that's not why I nor many other white folks joined.

I need to stop listening to music I like

Felt like listening to the Pixies last night and just found out their bassist, Kim Shattuck just died yesterday morning.

Well I guess this just highlights peoples priorities

Watching the Superbowl on TiVo and instead of skipping the commercials and watching the show, the skip feature is bypassing the game and going straight to the commercials.

I've decided not get involved in the primary race until next February.

My state won't vote until March 10th so why get invested in a candidate who might not be in the race at that point?
