“ The stupendous productive power developing under the capitalist mode of production relatively to population, and the increase, though not in the same proportion, of capital values (not their material substance), which grow much more rapidly than the population, contradict the basis, which, compared to the expanding wealth, is ever narrowing and for which this immense productive power works, and the conditions, under which capital augments its value. This is the cause of crises.

Karl Marx, Capital, volume III, chapter XV.

I hope that someday all these polls asking “who is to blame for the current recession?” will offer multiple choice options that extend beyond simply “Democrats? Republicans? Or both?”.

Agreed! but uhh… Don’t count on it.

off to patrol this dude’s beat, see you Tumblr cats after the weekend.
Chicagoans (Chicago-ites? Chicagones? Chicogs?) don’t be surprised if you see me and i resemble this fellow. Also, this could easily be a Chicago alley-way.

Yes, I prefer this cover (and this one) to Penguin’s sterile white one.

Dark Meat - “Well Fuck You Then”

This Wednesday Morning Dance Party is brought to you from 2:30 Wednesday morning because I’m up drinking tea, listening to Dark Meat, and writing fiction and don’t expect to be dancing at the same time as y’all.

So, uhh, all of you with 9s to 5s: well, fuck you then.

(To those of you who accidentally saw this in the middle of the night: you are the real winners.)

The number one reason I want to see Dark Meat live is for the chance to possibly chant “Well Fuck You, Then!” with a room full of strangers.

Also, fuck me then, indeed.

a dipsomaniac is also comfortable accidentally getting your dog drunk while going along w/ your assumption that it’s altitude sickness and probably secretly stewing inside that his bottle’s been leaking. (also, that first panel makes me laugh)
