Poppy has a new music video. It is titled “Computer Boy.” It is about a boy with a computer.
These are the lyrics. Find happiness through meaning.
Boy, boy, boy, boy
I’m in love with my favorite toy
Can’t go a day without Computer Boy
I smile at him while I turn him on
I’m so happy until Computer’s goneI don’t care, and I won’t change myself
I don’t want anybody elseI fell in love with the man of the future
I’ve got a thing for my laptop computer
I’m so in love with the man of the future
The only one who brings me joy is my computer boy
(Boy, boy, boy, boy, boy)I’m trying not to get attached to you (attached to you)
But no one else gets me like you do (like you do)
When you glow on my face you make me come alive
I want your floppy disk to be my hard driveI don’t care, and I won’t change myself
I don’t want anybody elseI fell in love with the man of the future
I’ve got a thing for my laptop computer
I’m so in love with the man of the future
The only one who brings me joy is my computer boy(Ooh, ooh oh ooh, ooh, ooh oh ooh)
Don’t ever leave me or go to sleep without me
(Ooh, ooh oh ooh, ooh, ooh oh ooh)
Please stay by my side forever and never talk to anyone else
(Ooh, ooh oh ooh, ooh, ooh oh ooh)
My dearest (boy, boy, boy, boy, boy)
Computer Boy (boy, boy, boy, boy, boy)I don’t care, and I won’t change myself
I don’t want anybody else
No, I don’t plan to change myself
To be with anybody…
(Computer Boy!)I fell in love with the man of the future
I’ve got a thing for my laptop computer
I’m so in love with the man of the future
The only one who brings me joy is my computer
I fell in love with the man of the future
I’ve got a thing for my laptop computer
I’m so in love with the man of the future
The only one who brings me joy is my computerThe only one who brings me joy is my computer
The only one who brings me joy is my computer boy
As some have noticed, shortly after the music video came out, Poppy got into trouble.
And then the trouble was reversed.
Leading Poppy theorists rushed to explain the meaning of “Computer Boy.”
But they may have only succeeded in getting Poppy attacked.
This may be the darkest time for Poppy so far. Keep Poppy in your thoughts.
Salon Feminist Writer Attacks Beatles For ‘Making Pop Music Male’
https://heatst.com/culture-wars/salon-feminist-writer-attacks-beatles-for-making-pop-music-male/
***
In a desperate plea for the last remaining clicks in the progressive blogosphere, left-leaning site Salon.com has slammed the Beatles’ iconic “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album for taking away pop music from girls and making it “the music of men”.
Amanda Marcotte, a staff writer at the publication, wrote a 1,200 word essay arguing how the Beatles’ album is actually the worst because it made rock a serious genre.
This, she says attracted crowds of men at the expense of young girls who just “wanted to fuck” the group.
***
Am I naive to hope that this is all just a really long, drawn out joke and any minute they’re all going to bust out laughing and go “HAHA GOTCHA!”?
If Amanduh is trolling, it would be the most amazing feat of trolling of all time.
Alas, that is almost certainly not the case; she’s just that dumb.
The alternative is to just be that dumb, and I don’t think someone could be that dumb and actually have a central nervous system.
There’s the possibility that she’s not actually human, but just a sentient mold that’s somehow taken human form.
The alternative alternative is that Amy and the rest of them are just attacking for the purpose of attacking as a pre-emptive strike against dissent. After a while, the unwoke masses finally just give up because they’re sick of the constant abuse.
However, the other possibility is that the masses start REALLY fighting back, which is starting to happen.
Things are going to get worse before they get better.
Yep, I remember when she threw a hissy fit because Captain America isn’t an FDR progressive like she wants him to be. Her work is some profoundly shallow bullshit.
Please – everyone knows that Amanda Marcotte has no sense of humor
I have heard the whole feminist movement called “the world’s biggest shit-test”. May be true.
At this point, I think she’s trying to attract Sargon’s attention again. She’ll never understand that Jessica Valenti is his one and only muse…
How sick do you have to be to hate the Beatles???
I don’t hate the Beatles but I think they are overrated. What does that make me?
cishetero shitlord, duh.
Correct.
Seconded
Your average Rolling Stones fan? No, wait, Hitler, it’s Hitler, right?
It’s always Hitler.
Correct
“Hate” is a strong term, and they do have some catchy beats, but their philosophy…
The Beatles and Pink Floyd. Two of the most overrated bands in history! There I said it now please give me time to take cover before you throw something at me.
I agree one hundred percent. Give me the Kinks and Traffic any day.
Agree about PF. Beatles, not so much. They got overindulgent later on but their middle period was flat-out brilliant.
Don’t get me wrong the Beatles have good songs and I enjoy listening to them. But they weren’t as revolutionary as people make them out to be. They were a pop band that caught on to already existent trends. Now Pink Floyd is just garbage music.
+1000 Jimi Hendrix
Pink Floyd is just crushingly depressing and bleak. If you’re in a good mood they’ll put you in a bad mood and they’ll turn a bad mood into a suicidal one. I’ll pass.
Did you ever have a time, when large hanging Bose speakers were a new thing and all the rage, where you sat between them blasting at full volume, indulged in massive bong hits, and listened to Dark Side of the Moon?
This is when many of us first opened the access to those neurons that later created philosophies, which might have even (yikes!) led to libertarianism.
If you’re in a good mood they’ll put you in a bad mood and they’ll turn a bad mood into a suicidal one.
This may be a result of me being high as fuck when I listened to them in high school and university, but you’re crazy.
You must have listened to a different Pink Floyd than the one I’ve heard.
Their philosphy had its moments.
And their anti-revolutionary anthem “Revolution” wasn’t bad, if I interpret the lyrics correctly.
On topic: has anyone else listened to the new SiriusXM Beatles’ channel?
It can actually be a pretty pleasant way to pass a commute.
I had forgotten how haunting those strings can be in “She’s Leaving Home”.
(Similarly, when I was a kid and “Eleanor Rigby” was a hit on the radio, we were all scared because we thought it was a horror song. Scary strings with “wiping the dirt from his hands as he walked from the grave. No one was saved!” — we misinterpreted and thought Father Mackenzie was a zombie or some other kind of awful monster.)
REVEALED: The haunting life story behind one of pop’s most famous songs… Eleanor Rigby
(Important if true)
About as sick as me. I can hardly put my contempt for the Beatles into words…
I dont understand why Amanduh is so hard to spell.

Amanduh is still writin’ shit? I figured she would’ve been beaten to death by now.

Had some very interesting training today. I think I will enjoy doing the job for real.
Just 2 more months of training after language school.

She had some junk in that trunk.
You’d be tired too if you were up all night running a train on Marylin Monroe with your brothers.
Whoa
This reminds me of when Rodney Carrington told a JFK joke and some people booed. He said “Mans been dead 50 years and you act like you went fishing with him last week!”
Hey! How the fuck do you know I didn’t go fishing with him last week? There are ways. It cost a lot, but JFK meat is good bait early in the season. You have to rinse off the brine though.
a more interesting question: what happened to JFK’s brain?
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/10/20/evidence-reportedly-suggests-robert-kennedy-stolen-jfk-brain-after.html
***
“Not all the evidence from the assassination is at the National Archives. One unique, macabre item from the collection is missing — President Kennedy’s brain,” James Swanson writes in “End of Days: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy,” the New York Post reported.
According to Swanson, During John F. Kennedy’s autopsy, the brain was placed in a container and temporarily stored in a Secret Service file cabinet before being put in a footlocker with other medical evidence in the National Archives.
“[It was] placed in a secure room designated for the use of JFK’s devoted former secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, while she organized his presidential papers,” the book says.
“In October 1966, it was discovered that the brain, the tissue slides and other autopsy materials were missing — and they have never been seen since,” Swanson told the New York Post.
An investigation was ordered by former Attorney General Ramsey Clark. Although it failed to recover the brain, it did “uncover compelling evidence suggesting that former Attorney General Robert Kennedy, aided by his assistant Angie Novello, had stolen the locker,” Swanson says.
Some claim that the brain was stolen to hide the fact that John F. Kennedy was shot from the front instead of the official version of events — that is was from behind.
According to the New York Post, Swanson claims Robert Kennedy stole the brain not to conceal evidence of a conspiracy, but maybe to hide the extent of the president’s illnesses or the number of medications he was taking.

Whenever I read things like this, I have a an urge to shout “caveman bone broth” in my huskiest voice.
Dammit, you give Marty Feldman just one job, and you end up with Kennedy’s brain instead of Hitler’s.
Oh FFS. A 6.5mm 160grain bullet went through his skull at 2500fps. What do they think happened to the brain? It turned to liquid and what didn’t run between the seat cushions is on the pavement in Dallas.
Mr. Burns has it.
Or, when East Bay Ray was asked in an interview once if the Dead Kennedys playing a show on November 22 wasn’t in bad taste: “Sure, but then the assassination wasn’t tasteful, either”
Jesus H, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen to date. Like I’m gonna be at work tomorrow and just start laughing, and someone’s gonna ask me what I’m laughing about, and just so I can maintain the illusion of not being a terrible person I’m gonna have to be like, “Oh, nothin.”
Joe Kennedy was white trash.
White Trash is a little higher class than Joe Kennedy.

Leather, ‘Male Jewelry’ Banned Under River North Bar’s Extreme Dress Code
***
CHICAGO — A River North pizzeria and club is drawing internet ire for a new dress code that bans “odd-colored” pants, Jordans and “obnoxious” prints, among several other items.
The Bottled Blonde’s Facebook and Yelp pages have received dozens of posts and comments criticizing its dress code, with some calling the long list of clothing requirements “racist.”
One poster described the rules as “the new Jim Crow.”
Representatives of the Bottled Blonde, 504 N. Wells St., which has a clublike atmosphere at night, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The dress code (see below) apparently has been posted since at least May 9, but it gained renewed attention on Monday after CBS Chicago covered the lengthy list of what people cannot wear to the club. Among the items: white T-shirts, tank tops, fur and leather and shoes that match the color of a wearer’s hat or shirt.
***
and the only item on the menu is deep dish pizza.
Do these rules apply only to African Americans? If not, in what way is it racist? Is possible to not be racist? Am I racist by questioning whether these rules are racist?
(this is not to deny that the rules are pretentious and idiotic as fuck, which they seem to be)
Shut the fuck up, you can never understand, white man.
This is the logical end result of exclusivity being a desired aspect of your nightlife. Eventually someone is going to exclude your worthless ass to pander to someone richer.
Nope.
Like when black guys are always last when teams are picked for a game of pick up basketball.
I used to play in a pick-up game where I was occasionally the only white guy. One time a guy threw a lob up at least three feet over my head. As the ball sailed out of bounds I turned to him and asked – did you not notice I’m white?
They’re racist because only black people wear hoodies and expensive sneakers, duh.
[this is what they actually think]
“If not, in what way is it racist?”
Because the dress code says “No Jiveass”
Only black people can be jiveass , so racist.
‘The new Jim Crow’
except, of course, that this is private property and not at all binding law, but other than that yeah totally
/headfuckingdesk
Most people don’t understand the difference between government and private institutions, hence the belief that the voting public can determine what minimum wage employers must pay, what benefits they must offer, etc.
This is one of those pillars of misinformation that make it so damn hard to sell libertarian ideas to the general public.
I’m not seeing the racism.
How about this one: one of those ubiquitous junk/cell phone bodegas on my corner has a sign reading “pants on waist or no service”.
See I would pull mine up to my nipples like Urkel just to test them.
How the fuck is the pants falling off your ass look still a trend? Didn’t Tupac start that in the early 90s?
I’ve been saying for a long time that most fashion trends have been stuck in a rut for at least 20 years. Used to be easy to tell apart the 60s, 70s, 80s, and early 90s. Since the late 90s hardly anything has changed.
Women’s clothing has changed a bit. Other than that, clothing has bottomed out at casual. There’s nowhere left to go other than naked.
I was thinking more of hairstyles but you make a good point.
Skinny jeans aren’t a tip-off?
those stupid Goatees that are now Old man fashion
Among the items: white T-shirts
What if the white T-shirt is printed with #FuckOffSlaver?
Asking for a friend who has a shirt like that.
Bullshit. I know for a fact that you have one of those shirts that you printed up yourself. I also know that you have no friends.
“One poster described the rules as “the new Jim Crow.””
Yeah, remember when Martin Luther King wasn’t allowed into a restaurant because he refused to wear a suit and tie?
No sports figures, then.
Actually, most of the list reads like “people I generally avoid anyway”.
There’s a new gal who sets me up for my chemotherapy infusions who wears flimsy tank tops, where every other staffer there usually dresses in more typical nursing attire (most often scrubs). She’s got tattooed stars running around her neck like a necklace, then continuing all the way across her shoulders and down each arm like feather boas, finishing with one bigger star on the back of each hand.
I felt like asking her if she was a big fan of the Harlem Globetrotters, but I thought better of it. Or perhaps Vincent Van Gogh? The Starz Network?
Do the spots go all the way down?
+1 symbiont
I’d like to hear more about the flimsy tank tops.
“We want to maintain a classy atmosphere.”
Chucks and Vans are ok.
I want some of what that guy is smoking.

The pros and cons of Popeye’s Chicken:
Pros:
■it’s Popeye’s
Cons:
■It’s not Bojangles
■A couple hours later, it ends up smelling like a Gathering of the Juggalos
I don’t know. Popeye’s has gone WAY downhill since Copeland died. Or maybe it’s just the ones around this area, but it’s not even close to what it used to be.
Some of the best fried chicken I ever had was at a Bojangles in South Carolina. But again, the Bojangles around here just aren’t nearly as good. Most fast food around here is shit though. I think it’s because most of the places are run by immigrants and they just don’t get how it’s supposed to be.
I used to know a guy who would take two chicken legs at Bojangles and make them dance around the plate and table,
all the while singing “Mr. Bojangles! Dance!”
Had Popeye’s once – it was… not pleasant.
You might be on to something.
This is our area’s first Popeyes and it opened a week ago. I’ll take what I can get since a Krispy Krunchy Chicken (damn fine chicken) franchise around here went tits up. I’m not so sure i subscribe to the immigrant theory, the worst KFC I ever had was cooked up by natives that don’t give a shit about quality.
Maybe it’s just chicken – all the chicken chains here kind of suck. I’ll take a Wendy’s chicken sandwich over Chick-Fil-A, for example.
I went to a KFC in Jamaica while I was waiting to pick someone up from JFK. The rotating plexiglass “don’t rob me bro” payment window? Scary shit. Not a good look at all.
Sounds like all the charm of a Brooklyn check-cashing joint.
I’ve had KFC in China – it was better than here in the US. And there’s like one on every block.
You’re damn right about that – a lot of Asians take their fried chicken seriously. Haven’t tried China, but in Hong Kong, not only is the KFC spicy and delicious, the sales turnover is so high that it’s always fresh.
BLASPHEMER!
Krispy Krunchy is gas station franchise chicken. It’s good and some stores cook additional tassty non-Krispy Krunchy food.
Krispy Krunchy is better than Chester’s and both are better than some fast food chicken franchises (like all the Bojangles).
Best Popeyes I’ve eaten at was the one on St. Charles in New Orleans. Second best is one in Durham, NC. Locations in Colorado and the west coast have just flat out sucked, along with the sides.
Good lord. Bojangles. I wish they moved out here.
Thought it said “Poppy’s chicken”.
me too.
The best fried chicken, if you are buying and not cooking it yourself, is to be found in grocery store delis. Not just any deli, you have to test them out and pay attention to who is cooking that day. It’s not the restaurant or deli, its the cook. When you find the good one stick with them and let them know why you keep coming back.
Cuz I’m racist like that I am gonna bet 10 bucks that when you find that cook it is going to be a black woman from the south.
I watch enough cooking shows to find this perfectly sensible.
It’s based on experience. There used to be a girl that fried the chicken at the Super 1 in Pineville, La that was magical. The best fried chicken ever. I asked her once if I could watch her cook so I could see what she did.
“You think I’m gonna give away my secret? You crazy.”
Damn. She’s not there anymore. I would double her pay if she would come back.
Oh yeah. She probably learned it from her mom or grandma. The only recipe my mom passed down was a passable meatloaf. She was great on holidays but everyday cooking – oof. “Make yourself a sandwich.”
“She” wouldn’t happen to have been Ms. Peachez?
Publix supermarkets. The Publix deli has the best damn store-bought fried chicken on Earth.
I’m going to have to learn to make fried chicken. I’m stuck on a very low sodium diet, so I can’t eat store bought chicken. It’s one of the few things I miss from before.
Stater Bros in SoCal
I’m going to say Churchs was my favorite fried chicken place when I was in the south. Where I’m at now its been KFC, just got a Popeyes that’s good, and when it’s late a Crown Fried Chicken.
Here in NYC we have a KFC knockoff called Kennedy Fried Chicken – I’ve only ever had the chicken fries and that at like 4:30 am. I think it’s probably crap but at that time who cares.
Kennedy has the best signs; their font uses drumsticks for the letter ‘i’. IIRC, there were a couple of Kennedy locations (1 in Harlem and 1 in East NY) that rebranded as Obama Fried Chicken in 2008.
Crown is Halal. I eat at a Crown when I’m in Newport News and don’t want Gus’s Hotdog King. Which is rare ’cause Gus’s is fuckin’ GREAT
Best fried chicken I ever had was made by a white woman from the South. She was old school Florida cracker. Amazing fried fish, too.
Also, if you see black folks at a BBQ joint, it’s probably good.
Dolphins interact with 8-foot underwater touchscreen
http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2017/05/31/Dolphins-interact-with-8-foot-underwater-touchscreen/7741496262270/?utm_source=sec&utm_campaign=sl&utm_medium=2
***
May 31 (UPI) — A group of researchers in Maryland constructed a giant, underwater touchscreen for dolphins to interact with.
Footage from the M2C2 Research Collaborative, shared to YouTube by user Silvia Spanciu, shows a dolphin using the touch screen to play a game of Whack-a-Mole by tapping images of fish that float across the screen.
Researchers from Rockefeller University, Hunter College and the National Aquarium in Baltimore worked together to create the 8-foot touch screen to investigate dolphin intelligence and communication by providing them choice and control over a number of activities.
The screen features “dolphin-friendly apps” to allow the dolphins to interact with the system which detects the dolphins’ movements optically.
***
I, for one, welcome our new dolphin overlords.
Does it include dolphin porn?
Not to step on HM’s toes, but…
Thanks for all the fish?
Have they discovered Netflix and chill yet?

Scott Carpenter was an astronaut and a diver who took part in the SEALAB saturation diving experiments. He had to spend a lot of time in a helium decompression chamber when he came finished. Unfortunately, during this time, LBJ called to congratulate him. Hilarity ensued.

Whoa. That’s intense. Sometimes I just need a nap.
I feel bad that he had to talk to LBJ.
Recently finished Dereliction of Duty – and damn is it hard to figure out the worst scumbag between LBJ, McNamara, the Bundy brothers and the two US Ambassadors to RVN. Even worse is the brutal realization that we didn’t really learn a damn thing from that whole clusterfuck – we are still getting into wars without having clue one why or what success would even look like.

You know, I would stick all kinds of things in all kinds of parts of Poppy, but the very first thing I would do is wipe her nose, because it looks like she has a great big black buger hanging out her nose.
Thank you. I thought so too.
True story: When i pulled that page up this morning, I actually scraped at the monitor with my fingernail because I thought there was a bug or something there.
No, thank goodness, it was just that pure sweet angel Poppy bleeding out of her nose, or something.
Tokyo numero ichiban. Kyoto? No, unless you like tourists.
Kyoto has the advantage of not being completely bombed to shit eighty years ago, so some of the historical architecture is at least intact.
If you want to see Edo period architecture, sure, Kyoto is great. The people are generally boring AF. Been there quite a few times and am always glad to leave. Osaka, OTOH, is butt ugly, but the people are awesome.
Also, I call into question any list that has the shithole Toronto praised in it.
I spent most of a day in Kyoto but I liked Osaka far better from the limited part I saw. Full disclosure: I have no taste and I like doing things like grocery store shopping when traveling.
Of course, Tokyo. Where else can you find an entire convention of people who draw yuri loli hentai based on your favorite anime series?
Here?
Maybe, but there they have an entire convention around it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comiket
Anime has taught me that Osaka is the best city in Japan!
Switzerland has one-upped the world. Hitting “Like” got some dude a $4,000 fine for defamation.
Switzerland seems to have the equivalent of England’s rule that someone who makes a damaging accusation has to justify the accusation in court or pay damages.
In the U. S., the plaintiff has to *prove* he/she *doesn’t* molest sheep or whatever the accusation was.
(not a comment on whether the accusation in this or any other case was accurate)
The WTF moment here is that the guy who got hit for paying the huge fine just hit “like” on a couple of facebook posts.
Did you have an understanding that if you hit “like” on a “Hillary is a crook” meme you’d be liable for slander? Or hitting “Like” on a “Trump is a homophobic douche” meme?
I sure wouldn’t have said that hitting “like” was the same as saying something yourself.
This is what happens when we give up anonymity on the internet and link everything to our damn facebook accounts where we list absolutely everything about ourselves and our lives.
