Charles Mingus15 hrs ·
In 1977, Charles Mingus was diagnosed with ALS. On January 5, 1979, he passed away at age 56 in Mexico. He was cremated the next day. On the day of his death, 56 sperm whales beached themselves in Mexico and were removed by fire.
With or without an ice bucket, we remember Mingus in our support of the ALS Association.

so far I think this ice bucket challenge has killed more people than it's saved

at the very least they've opened a new ward in all the hospitals a la The Three Stooges Ward in the Simpsons

The sperm whale thing is a quote from the liner notes to the Joni Mitchell album "Mingus" fwiw

lol at that kid blatantly throwing the bucket not even trying to pretend

lol at that car driving by, just imagining someone driving to work and seeing ice bucket challenges left and right, in the middle of the road, ice falling from the heavens, a man is dead on the ground and a lamb is crawling out of his stomach, hellfire

That scenario is not to ridiculous. There was a day last week when I saw three IBCs happening on my way home from work. None fatal. One of them was right outside my office, which has a little garden with a hose and some people from a condo across the street decided they'd just help themselves and do it on my steps for fucks sake. Then there was a mass one with about six people getting drenched outside Denny's. Then there was a kid on the sidewalk getting cup after cup of water chucked at him by about five buddies. Shit is outta control.

an old acquaintance from high school (she was in choir with me, and was my madrigals partner) recently went through a pre-emptive mastectomy due to having an 85% risk of acquiring breast cancer due to a rare disorder. And then not too long after, she went through a divorce with her husband of three years. they took a selfie of them smiling together from the courthouse, not as a means of "LOL", but showing that divorce doesn't have to wreck the two of you afterwards, and that they still care for each other.
it went viral over the internet and they've become known as the divorce selfie couple and even though it's the most innocuous thing on the planet the vitriol some bro-ish assholes spewed at them just makes me think that people can shit on anything. oi...

― flatizza (harbl), Friday, 29 August 2014 22:10 (nine years ago) link
yeah it blew up fast. she posted it on her FB only about a week ago, a few small blogs got wind of it, then HuffPo got it and that kind of kickstarted it exploding.

I sometimes see the words "fat free" emblazoned on items that only a very stupid or ignorant person would not already know were fat free, such as those bags of "baby" carrots. To the best of my knowledge, those carrots do not resemble a chemical shit storm. They're just mechanically-reshaped carrot chunks in a plastic bag. The same goes for skim milk and a bunch of other innocuous foodstuffs that have been subjected to the attention of marketing teams.

baby carrots are also gluten-free #protip #paleo #babycarrots #beastmode
