Quick take: Chewbacca has excellent taste
Kelly Tshibaka. She is challenging Lisa Murkowski for Alaska's Senate seat. Given a certain teen movie from the 1980s, I'm not one to comment on others' names, but I'm going somewhere with this. She hates Twilight, and thinks that no one should see the movies, or read the books. I've been saying this for years! Holy Flying Fucking Spaghetti Monster, her name is Chewbacca, and she's on an anti-Twilight crusade?! She must be the greatest nerd candidate ever! Right? Right?
So just how much crazy would we have to accept to get all of this cool stuff?
O.. oh. Never mind.
At this point, the way both parties are going, I'm just going to be writing in "Neil deGrasse Tyson" for every office anyway. Oh, well. At least I can fantasize about Chewbacca running on a "Make Vampires Evil Again" platform.
Goddamnit, I just referenced Twilight on this fucking blog. I hate pop culture.
Never meet your heroes:

Jack Dorsey? Not my hero.
DeleteNo, fuck that asshole.
DeleteBut, Tyson got demolished on what science actually is by a frozen meat company.
Yeah, I'm gonna defend Neil. First, the method is objectively right, regardless of whether or not you believe in it. Second, postmodernism is bullshit, and he was doing the Philip K. Dick thing. He was not saying that any particular claim currently made by scientists is indisputably and forever objectively true, and can never be disproven. He was saying that if you reject a finding just 'cuz, you're full of shit. Aphorisms use as few words as possible. Unpack them in good faith, or you're an asshole.
