Snippets 2017.04...
I’m about to head in to see the Kingsman: The Golden Circle but didn’t want to leave you hanging without a blog post. So how about a Snippet featuring a bunch of cool things I’ve been watching on YouTube recently? You down?
Eminem
Damn, Shady really laid it out for 45. No holds barred. I like it!
BeeSA
That guys have to be told to not be raving jackasses with women is unforgivable. Hopefully Samantha Bee’s word is the last we’ll need to hear. Not likely though.
Jedi
I gotta admit that the new Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer has me scratching my head. I can’t quite figure out what to make of it. Misdirection? I hope so. What do you think?
Japandroids
As I said on Twitter, my favorite band + my favorite late night host = total geekgasm. Check out “No Known Drink or Drug” on Seth Meyers (thanks to Marty for pointing this out to me).
Hulk
This is about how I feel at grocery stores... and department stores... and malls... and shopping plazas... and... well... anywhere.
Adios!
I love this post so much.
First off, I really liked what Eminem did but at the same time, right at the end, I didn't get the whole "I love our troops." What was the point of that and why does the love of the military have to always be brought into everything? Why is there such a deification of the military in American culture? (i.e., If you don't unequivocally support the troops you are not a patriot.) To me this is borderline fascism and scary.
Second, love Same Bee. That was amazing.
Third, uh Star Wars. Know how to keep us on our toes much?? Also they filmed it when Carrie Fischer was still alive! Ugh I miss her. :(
Omg that lego video. That's how I feel at the grocery and basically any shop too! It's why I do most of my shopping online. Even some household items!

The reason Em said that about the troops is because, for some alternate reason, that side claims that a lack of support of the president is a lack of support of our military. He’s not saying that everyone needs to support the military. Em is simply reiterating that what he is saying about Trump has no ties to his belief in the military. It’s his choice to support the military and *not* the president and he’s making that clear because our country’s lowest common denominator obviously needs it spelled out. Sadly just how it is.

Ahhhhh ok. That makes sense then.
