Why isn't New Orleans Mother's Day parade shooting a 'national tragedy'?:

historyintheworks:

A telling excerpt:

“Unforunately, though, I’ve learned to redefine what constitutes an American tragedy. American tragedies occur where middle America frequents every day: airplanes, business offices, marathons. Where there persists a tangible fear that this could happen to any of us. And rightfully so. Deaths and mayhem anywhere are tragic. That should always be the case. The story here is where American tragedies don’t occur.

American tragedies don’t occur on the southside of Chicago or the New Orleans 9th Ward. They don’t occur where inner city high school kids shoot into school buses or someone shoots at a 10-year old’s birthday party in New Orleans. Or Gary, Indiana. Or Compton. Or Newport News. These are where the forgotten tragedies happen and the cities are left to persevere on their own.

So, once again, New Orleans will survive. And move on. Because, really, we’ve been here before.”

-David Dennis

You know what I’ve noticed? Nobody panics when things go “according to plan.” Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it’s all “part of the plan”. But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!

-In which a fictional sociopathic movie villain more accurately describes the state of affairs than almost all the major news networks combined.

Here’s a GREAT way to serve eggs for Easter… scotch eggs! Take a hard-boiled egg, wrap it in sausage meat, coat it in breadcrumbs, and then deep-fry it. Bingo. Kitchen Guy shows you how!

You’ve spent weeks obsessing over it, turning it over in your head and convincing yourself that this thing is going to be so good, so disruptive, that the only thing between you and a Google acquisition is the chore of getting the damn thing off the ground.

How do you go about executing?

If you follow the advice of most “10 Things You Need To Do Before Launching Your Startup” articles, here’s how it goes down:

Some Secret Unicorns drive incredibly awesome vehicles, like this vintage 1970s “SLAYER” van that’s covered in all sorts of wild murals. Be sure to check out the eBay auction to see many more photos. Can you believe the auction ended without a sale? The city of York, Pennsylvania is a richer place for having a van like this on its streets.

As far as sightings of our Unicorn Mask go, this one is pretty freaking fantastic.
