HUMORESQUES

Three mass graves with 1,000 corpses found in Iraq

I know you think you’re being transgressive and edgy and bad-in-the-cool-way when you are careless with the trauma of strangers, but you’re not. You are being conservative. You are a conservative comedian. You are moving your art form backwards, you are a bully (a bully who has likely experienced bullying himself, which is the worst kind), and you are propping up the status quo in the most boring way possible. If that’s what you want, at least have the grace to own it.

“Open Letter To White Male Comedians” is pretty much fire throughout but, as someone pretty openly fascinated with transgressive/abrasive art, this one is a degree off from being Mission-Statement-Altering. (via raptoravatar)

If you’ve been reading this blog, you already know how much I want to see Australia and why. PBS recently ran a fantastic 4-part series on NOVA called “Australia’s First Four Billion Years”.
I write about it in my latest column:
