done reading (or marking as read) 2001 “Merry Christmas” blogposts.
overheard in a store on Christmas eve:
cashier: “Happy Holidays”
angry idiot: “This is a Christian holiday, say Merry Christmas”
cashier: “I don’t want to offend anyone sir, but have a good one anyways.”
ai: “You WILL say Merry Christmas to me or I will raise hell and have you fired”
cashier: “Happy Holidays jackass”
true shit.
BLDGBLOG: In other words, your lifestyle may now be carbon neutral – but was it really any good in the first place?
Robinson: Right. Especially if it’s been encoding, or essentially legitimizing, a grotesque hierarchy of social injustice of the most damaging kind. And the tendency for capitalism to want to overlook that – to wave its hands and say: well, it’s a system in which eventually everyone gets to prosper, you know, the rising tide floats all boats, blah blah – well, this is just not true.
