"I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him."

casita is actually Iola Fortino and I hereby claim my $5 prize.

Edit to add: super weird, but I wrote this post while Videodrome was writing his about Iola.

Me and Rob: What it means to take a Ford selfie

a debate arose over the ethics of the “Rob Ford selfie.”

A column titled “The Selfish Selfie” in the New York Times magazine in April wrestled with the question of whether those who sought selfies with the mayor were, in fact, exploiting him.

Meanwhile, writer Denis McGrath meditated on whether he’d “enabled” the mayor in a Facebook post titled “35 surprising things about a selfie with Rob Ford.”

“I wish I’d been able to say ‘shame on you’ to him, but something human stopped me,” he wrote of his own selfie experience.

“I have never seen someone who is so alone surrounded by so many people,” he wrote.

The Globe spoke to five people who took “Rob Ford selfies” about their experiences:

Sounds like someone is trying to build up a justification for spilling the beans for $. Or subtly threatening that she could.

Edited to add: I may be projecting some wishful thinking into this.

Toronto councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon shrugs off online attack involving Hitler, Rob Ford and Putin

McMahon said she’s been aware of the animation for a few months. The link is located on a website that one of her opponents in the city council race, James Sears, set up in her name. The website is filled with altered photos of her and bizarre blog posts.

Joining in on the ongoing grammatical pedantry on UT, it's "as" or "per", not "as per".

Please, I'm begging everyone, can we, er, MAY we stop correcting fellow posters on their grammar? It's a tad obnoxious. *waits to be corrected*

So disheartening. Although the @goldsbie 'live snark' did produce this gem:

Who called 'cronutitus'?

It gets violent as a man tears a placard from a protestor's hands, rips it up. Others stomp on it, shred it

That was the first time I've ever seen a Ford event devolve into the outright bigoted hatred they've always seemed capable of.

It's always just beneath the surface.

AKA "Dimitri The Lover". Some kind of self declared "Pick-Up Artist"

For those that are curious, unfamiliar, and have high tolerance for total douche-baggery, here's an example of his M.O.

That said, he may actually be mentally unwell. (ETA: Not a diagnosis. The matter had been brought up as early as his Med School days).

F--- Fest 2014.

siomo 7:43pm via Twitter for iPhone
LGBTQ demonstrators being pushed, called faggots, told to suck a dick, munch a carpet--on for at least 30 mins.

Too bad we don`t have any laws in this city regarding people who verbally and physically attack others because of their differences...
