Ayn Rand was an idiot
Just in case you weren’t aware of it, she was indeed a complete raging idiot whose contributions to intellectual thought and theory are exactly on par with that of the great spiritual leader that warned us of the dangers of disembodied alien energy creatures and galactic space overlords that haunt us today after our ancestors failed to blow them up in a volcano laced with hydrogen bombs.
In other words, the tenets of Objectivism are complete hedonistic bullshit and a license for deeply selfish people to piss upon their neighbors. Her teachings if you strip out all the crap that is strategically designed to make it look ‘good’ boils literally down to survival of the fittest and the belief that sheer unadulterated selfishness is a virtue. If Scientology’s belief system is basically a shitty Doctor Who plot from 1971, then Objectivism is basing society’s moral code on Survivor’s All-Star Season. Also, fuck John Galt.

James T. Kirk is dead, and we have proof
From my friend Andy K. on twitter:Bear with me: Captain Kirk had an older brother, George Sam Kirk. In the new movie, Kirk has no older brother. He’s the first born.(1)
Simple: The altered timeline resulted in a scenario by which the Kirks named their firstborn James Tiberius Kirk instead of George Sam Kirk.(2)
As such, I submit to you the film’s James T. Kirk is in fact GEORGE SAM KIRK. The true Jim Kirk will NEVER BE BORN.(3)
William Shatner played George Kirk, James’s brother, in his only on-screen appearance. It’s therefore totally reasonable to assume that older Spock Prime would have mistook the younger once-George for unborn James. Sure will be a mindfuck for now-James when and if Spock Prime ever tells him the truth.
Will angry nerds burn a J.J. Abrams effigy in front of the Paramount backlot now?

UPDATE: Apparently that little kid that young “James” drives by in the stolen car in the beginning of the film–according to the original script–was supposed to be George Kirk. According to IMDB, there is no George Kirk in Star Trek beyond the very dead one that fathered False James. Director’s cuts don’t count in my book.

Anonymous Propaganda
Apparently, theres another group now out to “get” the Scientologists. Comments about targets being low-lying fruit aside, I wonder if this group that calls themselves “Anonymous” is the same group called “Anonymous” that was mentioned on Fox News last year.

Hayden Panettiere image
I noticed today that I was getting a ton of hits (by my standards, a ton) for an image of Hayden Panettiere, who plays Claire Bennett on Heroes. I couldn’t figure out where on Earth they were all coming from, until I just ran a Google Images search for her, which you can see here. As of now it still shows my site as the last entry on the first page. The funny thing is, until this post, I never had a picture of Hayden or Claire on this site. I do have my Livejournal Image Randomizer, which links off of each page, and on the top right of each page loads the most recent image on each reload. It’s not really technically random–Livejournal publishes an RSS feed of all the images linked inline on every recent LJ post, and the PHP scripts I borrowed and tweaked from other sites just trawls the last 1 or 10 entries, depending on where I use it.
Anyway, this is the page on my site that they were ending up on from Google Images. It’s specifically this page, the June 29, 2006 archive, in case that long Google URL goes dead. The actual picture of Hayden was probably linked from the Livejournal feed at the exact moment that Google crawled that page, and voila! People are coming looking for hottie pictures of Claire and find me grumbling about holes in socks, and my review of Superman Returns. This is the picture they were after…

Surgery to improve iPhone dexterity
Thomas went under the knife for a new technique called “whittling.” The doctors made a small cut in each thumb and shaved down the bones, then they adjusted the muscles and fingernails to fit the new thumb size. Martel’s new thumbs look a tad effeminate, and there’s always that problem of expense and general discomfort, but he thinks the procedure “will pay for itself in ten to fifteen years. And what it’s saving me in frustration – that’s priceless.”

Our biographies
As transcribed in the early period of the ’00s, by Andy “J Metropolis” Khouri (w00t, thank you Wayback Machine!); note this is from before we were actually married, and still lived in Connecticut:
Andi:
Andi doesn’t even know where she came from. Her long term memory was lost in a bizarre celery accident, and most of the night she was soft-spoken and shy, keeping to herself and reading comics in the corner. (except when she was making out with other chicks).Mine:
Joe — or “Joe Sizzle,” as he is known — actually created the internet. He explained this to me in a very clear, unslurred voice, and he did so for many hours. I honestly did not have the mental capacity to grasp exactly how he created the internet, but trust me, he did. It’s his, and we all owe him a little piece of our souls. I hope that by honoring him here, he will forgive me for my sins and allow me to continue using (abusing?) his property. Before Joe created the internet, he was a regular little kid in 1950s Colombia, riding his scooter around town with a slingshot in his pocket and a twinkle in his eye. On October 25th, 1955, Joe was struck by lightning. He survived, and there was absolutely no change in his body, behaviour or in his thinking. On October 25th, 1956, Joe slipped in the shower and hit his head on the toilet seat and lapsed into a coma for forty years. On October 25th, 1996, Joe woke up with the idea for the internet, even though by then it had already been created. It’s a real shame. Today Joe lives in Connecticut with his girlfriend Andi and lots of comic books. -

“Kirk Masturbating”
Me: does my new icon show as animating
Her: Yes.
Me: excellent
Her: At least, if it’s supposed to be the “Kirk Masturbating” icon.
Me: man, it’s him screaming khhhhaaaan….
Her: Dude…it looks like he’s masturbating.
Me: http://www.livejournal.com/userpic/39764148/578981
Me: made it off that
Her: Now he looks like he’s about to have an apoplectic fit while he’s masturbating.
Me: which sums up his acting, oddly -
