Tuesday Hatred: Limp Dicks
I hate that this isn't the new logo for Teh valve.I hate blogger-academics. More to the point I hate how disproportionately effected I am by the opinions of blogger-academics. I hate the limp-dicked niceness of most academic blogs such that they can't even muster up a circle jerk. I hate that a certain confused Lacanian-Rationalist still thinks Adam and myself have our rhetorical heads up our asses. I hate that quite a few blogger-academics who self-style themselves as populist progressives want to champion Richard Dawkins. These are the same assholes who want to take Michael Moore to task in the name of truth and accuracy. I hate that people don't realize how much of a prick and coward Dawkins is. He refused to debate Conor Cunningham "on principle" after they were both invited to publicly debate one another at Oxford even after Cunningham promised he wouldn't use the word God once. I hate what passes for "funny" on academic blogs.
I hate that labour in America is on the whole unorganized. I hate that we could never have a general strike because most labour in America is either very blue collar ('Tomorrow no one gets fries!') or very white collar ('Tomorrow all the call centers stop!'). I hate how fucking hopeless the political situation is in Anglo-phone countries. I hate that the Chasers might be charged and sentenced for the stupidity of Howard's security forces.
I hate that my wife has been gone for a month and yet my work output has been about the same as when she was here. (A digression: I hate that the British MA is called a dissertation and the PhD a thesis. Partly because I like the verb dissertating.) I hate that I don't think my version of clean will match up with her version of clean. I hate that I can't sleep and so I'll likely just stay up until 5 am when my train leaves. I hate that I have to wash my hair to get laid.
Finally, I hate that my cat has been pissing blood for a week. I hate that the meds aren't working faster.
