» Pee Bales exist

what the fuck is a pee bale? no, it’s not a fetish-combo involving golden showers and batman. it’s exactly what it sounds like! it’s a bale of hay that you pee on, instead of using the loo. it’s meant to aid in composting and saves litres and litres of water by not flushing. at first i was like EEEWWW, but then i thought, why not? if i had a garden and a compost operation i’d totally install a pee bale and i’d use it, even if the neighbours didn’t appreciate my efforts to save the world. every little helps!

Cynical about Satire

nationalblush:

In his 1976 play Comedians, Terry Griffiths said “A Joke releases the tension, any joke. But a true joke, a comedian’s joke, does more than release tension. It has to liberate the will and the desire. It has to change the situation”.

We can surely say then in a rephrasing of Marxist praxis: “Satirists have mocked the world, the point is to change it!”
