Holy shit! The world just changed!

Justice Scalia was a horrible justice, not recusing himself when he should have, hating progress of any kind and writing judicial acrobatics to make his conservative points.

I, for one, won't miss him.

They will complain even if the nominee is a conservative.

I love how the GOP candidates are adamant that the next president should nominate a replacement. Would they say the same if a republican president was in office?

Scalia also defended first amendment rights, including the right for Video games to be considered artistic freedom.

Let go of hatred of someone when they die. It only makes you the more petty person to hold onto it.

Pfft, not a problem to express your hatred when someone dies. It reminds those who would exalt him that he was a jackass.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
