I Support #DeleteUber!

Uber indeed does suck for backing Mr. ORANGE

So let's get to it.

You, the adventurous galivantor who always dares to do the most daringist things in daredom – you already know about Mr. ORANGE's Muslim Ban that he signed into law on Friday. And assuredly, you are a hardscrabble Millennial, much like myself, who's just trying to scrape a hard dollar for a peanut butter and "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" sandwich. Correct? Correct.

Remember how two and a half sentences ago, I applauded you on your daringness? Well, I'ma need you to listen up real quick to prove 'dat. Ya see, cab drivers in NYC decided to strike Saturday at JFK Airport, in a beautiful middle-fingered gesture to Mr. ORANGE. Cause, ya know, many of those same drivers come from the seven countries on that Muslim Ban list.

But Uber, you see, didn't get with that program, and kept on giving rides during that one hour strike. And people rightfully raged. And people pointed out that Uber CEO Travis Kalanick is in bed with ORANGE (hope his penis doesn't turn the same color). And now, #DeleteUber is trending.

Sorry. I actually took longer than I should've to get to the daring part. So I know you young readers Uber yourselves everywhere these days. And it's super convenient! But hear me out. For one day, just for one day, at least...

#DeleteUber. Yeah, it won't really damage their pockets that much. But any kind of solidarity with the brown-skinned folks who will suffer the most from this ban is epic.

Think about it. And yes, I have an extra bias here; as a no longer full time Uber bike courier, I can say, without any doubt, they do not give a f**k about their partners. So in closing, #DeleteUber... for now. Make it your Social Justice New Year's resolution.

Bonus: It'll make me, a stranger you've never even met before, a very, very happy man. We all win!

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
