Where was I? Oh yeah. I’m not running Community for season 4. They replaced me. Them’s the facts.

Breaking: Dan Harmon out as showrunner of Community

Fuck.

Edit: Vulture has more information, none of it good.

Tonight’s Community finale was apparently a look into my libido circa high school.

NOW, THE STORY OF A SUPERHERO TEAM WHO WAS NEEDED TO FIGHT THINGS, AND THE ONE MAN WHO HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO BRING THEM ALL TOGETHER.

It’s Avengered Development.

Oh. My. GOD.

Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting There Is

John Scalzi:

I’ve been thinking of a way to explain to straight white men how life works for them, without invoking the dreaded word “privilege,” to which they react like vampires being fed a garlic tart at high noon.

Before you reblog this to tell me how much oppression you, a straight white male, actually face, read his followup post, and then stab yourself in the neck.

“If youth is the season of hope, it is often so only in the sense that our elders are hopeful about us; for no age is so apt as youth to think its emotions, partings, and resolves are the last of their kind. Each crisis seems final, simply because it is new.”
— George Eliot, Middlemarch

In Africa, there were a number of cults and sects of hemp worship. Pogge and Wissman, during their explorations of 1881, visited the Bashilenge, living on the northern borders of the Lundu, between Sankrua and Balua. They found large plots of land around the villages used for the cultivation of hemp. Originally there were small clubs of hemp smokers, bound by ties of friendship, but these eventually led to the formation of a religious cult. The Bashilenge called themselves Bena Riamba, “the sons of hemp”, and their land Lubuku, meaning friendship. They greeted each other with the expression “moio”, meaning both “hemp” and “life.”

Each tribesman was required to participate in the cult of Riamba and show his devotion by smoking as frequently as possible. They attributed universal magical powers to hemp, which was thought to combat all kinds of evil and they took it when they went to war and when they traveled. There were initiation rites for new members which usually took place before a war or long journey. The hemp pipe assumed a symbolic meaning for the Bashilenge somewhat analogous to the significance which the peace pipe had for American Indians. No holiday, no trade agreement, no peace treaty was transacted without it (Wissman et al. 1888).
