Once there was a young man, who, like you sat in this very hall walked this castles corridors, slept under its roof. He seemed to all the world a student like any other his name? Tom Riddle Today of course he is known all over the world by another name. Which is why I stand here looking out upon you all tonight I’m reminded of a sobering fact. Every day, every hour, this very minute perhaps dark forces attempt to penetrate these castle’s walls. But in the end their greatest weapon… is you. Just something to think about.
Thought you’d enjoy this.

I’m not an RPG person but I would be so down with this shit.
There should be a word for that feeling you get when an older person — and not much older, so quickly are things changing — shames him or herself by telling young people how to live. I’d vote for Bedeutungslosigkeitschmach, or “irrelevance shame,” (made up with the help of Google translate) or perhaps Rünschmerz, the horrifying gut pain one experiences watching Andy Rooney.

This video, shot on July 5 by a student in Fullerton, California, ostensibly features the sounds of 37-year-old Kelly Thomas crying for his father while being Tased by police officers after he supposedly resisted arrest. Thomas was also beaten so badly that he was placed on life support. He died several days later.
I can’t come up with anything to say. Police brutality, mental illness, how inhumanly fucked up our health care system is when it comes to treating conditions like schizophrenia… this is what happens. It’s horrific, and it’s unconscionable. Utterly beyond words.
