The Antisocial Socialist

I bet you would like to see how the tinykittens next door are doing.



( MOAR tinykittens )

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. You guys know how to make a girl feel loved.

I bet you're curious as to what I did on my birthday. In fact, I bet you're wondering if I went to see Laibach and got a gang of friends together to reenact Rathergood's 2009 classic viral animation, "Fear the Kittens," dressed in cat masks and Soviet hats.

I bet you're wondering if I have video evidence that I did this.

Adorable kittens have a dream where they don tiny dinosaur and bee outfits and go into space. This is why we have an internet.

This is inevitable but no less funny for being inevitable:

P.S. Toronto people: Shoe protest at the American Consulate at 2 pm today. Be there for me as I'm unlikely to make it.

Oh hey, it's my lucky video day. This one is courtesy of suburbannoir, who seems to feel the same way about Christmas carols, kittens, and Communism as I do:

We has a kitten.

She is only a temporary kitten that we are cat-sitting for, but this means that we Eyrie denizens are officially Crazy Cat Ladies, as there are now three kitties on the premises. Unfortunately, the kitten is Not At All Pleased with Marinetti and Luna occupying the same apartment, and keeps hissing at them. She is holed up in zingerella's room.

I made an attempt to introduce them, since Marinetti and Luna were curious and seemed to want to be friends. Marinetti went straight for Aoife's food, and Luna followed, puffed up and skittish. Aoife just hissed. A lot. This has not dissuaded Marinetti at all, as he's scratching at the door, trying to meet the ZOMG NEW KITTEN.

She doesn't seem to care for me a great deal either (though it may be because I smell like the other two cats), but I will try to get pictures later. She's very cute.

In other news, I am off soon to protest about my friends getting arrested. If you're in Toronto, you should come too. I'm worried that people might not come out as it's in the middle of a weekday and the weather is horrid.

EDIT: This is Aoife.

Hah! I just got told off by the ARA Network mailing list for excessive snark. (My crime? Sending an e-mail that read: "Please unsubscribe me. Bored now." The context? A lengthy flame war on whether or not it's appropriate to say "douchebag" on said mailing list. I feel vindicated.)

Anyway, here are some pictures of a kitten and a giant Scrabble board. Not, alas, in the same frame.

1. A picture:

The only thing that could make this photo more perfect is if they were flying a Jolly Roger off the back of their wee airship.

2. A song:
'O' From the Great Sea by Edward Ka-Spel. Good for seven days; tell me what you think. (Thanks to kaelynn for hooking me up with an obscure-CD supplier. They also sent me a CD called "Irritating Music for Discerning Snobs Desperate to Impress their Jaded Friends," which only encourages me to buy more music from them.)

3. A series of links:
They are all about left-wing mandolin orchestras. (Thanks to zingerella and eclecticmagpie for informing me of the links between anarchists, communists, and other labour activists and mandolin orchestras. I read all those labour history books and I had no idea.)

Today would have been total garbage had I not ended it by (finally) watching "Gridlock." It was the perfect New Who. Man, the only thing that could have made that episode better was if it had a basket of gratuitous kittens.


Screencap swiped from nostalgia_lj. Go read her review-thingie here.

What am I talking about? Kittens are never gratuitous. I was in a total shite mood and this seems to have temporarily fixed it, at least enough that I can get to bed.

I feel like hiding in a bowl where no one can see me. (Hat tip: constintina) But seaya has asked me to review this site: BarryChamish.com, and I must oblige, because the world must know the truth.

This is a very informative site. Like most of you, I thought that Yitzak Rabin was assassinated by a wacko zealot named Yigal Amir. But it turns out this is not the case. As Mr. Chamish asserts: "Barry Chamish and David Rutstein, both residents of Israel, state unequivocally that Shimon Peres ordered the murder of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of blessed memory and NO ONE SUES US!" (This means that it must be true, because you know what Jews are like with lawsuits.) Anyway, our friend Barry is risking his life to bring us this sort of information, but They haven't sued him (except for this guy). Good to know.

You'd think that, since it's been over a decade since Rabin's assassination and since a great many other people have died in the meantime, we don't need to care all that much, but you'd be wrong. In fact, Shimon Peres didn't just kill Yitzak Rabin. He's a serial killer—and he's still at it!

According to Barry, Peres has also killed Ariel Sharon (even though he's technically not dead), John F. Kennedy Jr., Ofra Haza, and Wayne Owens. He's also up to some suspicious things involving ringworms. (Barry is suspiciously silent on whether Peres has killed any Palestinians.)

Just like David Icke...



Anyway, I did some research of my own, and I found out that Peres is actually responsible for killing pretty much everybody. Here is my evidence (like Barry, I'm mostly relying on badly Photoshopped graphics to prove my point):

( OMZOG! )

What more proof do you need?

Speaking of shitty websites, seaya also brought Internet '96 to my attention.

They're alive! I'd be happier to hear that the CPT hostages were free, but at least there's still hope.

I think I'm going to the CPT Shine the Light procession tomorrow. It sounds like it'll be a good event. ( Info, should you be in the Toronto area. )

I spent half the morning on the roof drinking coffee and sitting in the sunshine. I plan to not be inside for most of today, given the unexpected patio weather.

In contrast to yesterday, the kittums are being very good today.
