The Antisocial Socialist

Wow, check it out! Former "center-left" cyclist turned warmongering fascist Charles Johnson has turned again. Colour me skeptical (like someone pointed out on fengi's LJ, it'll take one more terrorist attack to turn him back, but it's almost heartening to read.

I wonder if he'll apologize for his blog being a gathering place for genocidal maniacs for the last eight years.

If he's serious, though: Welcome back to the reality-based community.

As you all know, I spend much of my time pondering serious issues, like left-wing sectarianism, how to take down Washington's neo-cons, and what the prevalence of xenon headlights says about us as a culture. You've also probably guessed that I go through periods where I just Don't. Want to. Deal. and thus blather on about pop culture and fauxhawks, etc. Hence, in the great tradition of better bloggers than I, I'm joining in on Flippant Fridays, whereupon one does one's memes, cat-blogging, reviews of books without a lot of big words in them, and fashion critiques.

Also, a few people mentioned wanting (for whatever reason) to know what I thought of The Book That Shall Not Be Named.

( cut for the two of you who don't actually know what happens in The Half-Blood Prince, and for the lot of you who honestly don't care )

In other news, zingerella and I decided that the Reality-Based Community needs a militant wing, and that it should be called the Task Force of Reason (^TM one of rackletang's friends, but we want it to be a real Task Force of Reason.) If we were to create, say, and LJ-community for this group, how many of you would be up for joining?

P.S. I suppose they could also be Frivolous Fridays or Friday Fluff. What do you think?
