Fight the Hype

Roland Emmerich’s movie 2012 debuts this week. It’s the grossest, most obscene heap of apocalyptic propaganda ever splurged. I renounce it, denounce it, and pronounce it obscene.

If you’d like to tune in to some alternative views of 2012, check out a counterpoint to Emmerich’s absurd vision: the event “2012, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Dimensional Shift.”

Reality Sandwich has a variety of thoughtful perspectives on 2012.

Life Can’t Stop Flowering

Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.

Rob’s Good News Challenge

Rob says: “Sources of good news are proliferating. In fact, their increasing abundance is proof that there’s no longer any excuse for steeping yourself in the perverse life-hating obsession that infects the mainstream media.
