Why, though? They provide the context in the post. It’s clear what this is making fun of-beyond the fact that literally every Cannibal Witch post is a specific callout of some other idiotic thinkpiece.

Like you (probably), I have known plenty of amateur guitarists in my day. They always want to play you whatever cover they sort-of learned recently and have you guess what it is. I don't know, Scott, because you're terrible and no song in the world sounds like the trash you just tried. Just tell me what you learned.  Read more

My friend’s water broke this morning but she stopped to vote on the way to the hospital. Her daughter is going to be fierce as fuck!

We’ve got three separate ballot initiatives for medical marijuana (only one is good #yeson2), an effort to raise the minimum wage, and the absolute necessity of keeping Claire McCaskill in office. No early voting and a voter-id law means my polling place was packed with mostly 20-50 yo’s and it took about an Read more

I’ve been telling myself for weeks that I wouldn’t even follow results and updates today and instead just tune out until tomorrow morning. I even considered taking the day off work to go sit on the beach with a book or go for a long hike or something where I wouldn’t have my phone or computer and be tempted. Alas, Read more

I live in the Bay Area and the commercials for “No on Prop 10" are EVERYWHERE all the time. Youtube, FB, TV, Hulu...same for the anti-prop 8 people (limits revenue for dialysis centers like DaVita). I have seen maybe 3 pro-prop-10 commercials and this really concerns me. I don’t think enough people affected by high Read more
