Wanna smile real, real big?
This video is incredible. And Nathan Barnatt is crazy talented.
The whole thing is great, but don’t get impatient. This shit gets especially impressive at 1:55.
Nathan Barnatt is my dance icon. Keep an eye out for the Martin Starr cameo!
This just made my afternoon much better.
Let’s talk about socialism. I think it’s very important to bring back the idea of socialism into the national discussion to where it was at the turn of the [last] century before the Soviet Union gave it a bad name. Socialism had a good name in this country. Socialism had Eugene Debs. It had Clarence Darrow. It had Mother Jones. It had Emma Goldman. It had several million people reading socialist newspapers around the country. Socialism basically said, hey, let’s have a kinder, gentler society. Let’s share things. Let’s have an economic system that produces things not because they’re profitable for some corporation, but produces things that people need. People should not be retreating from the word socialism because you have to go beyond capitalism.

“We have advantages. We have a cushion to fall back on. This is abundance. A luxury of place and time. Something rare and wonderful. It’s almost historically unprecedented. We must do extraordinary things. We have to. It would be absurd not to.”

Next to Jack Donaghy and Lucille Bluth, Ron Swanson is my favorite television character of all time. There is much to admire about Ron: his intense libertarianism, his willingness to try cornrows, his support of Leslie, that time he gave a small child a landmine, and, of course, his secret life…
It’s just allowing for the love to flow so that poor people have the same dignity as investment bankers.
