I think Nietzsche said something about this.
I noticed tonight that our dog has come to look like his great enemy. Here, look at this:
Now look at Hektor:
Also, as a sort of NB, I think this photo will crack you up for some reason:

Guy #1: I'm sunk. I'm just sunk. Tracy got the call from Toledo this morning, and I lost the Jorgensen account.
Guy #2: You are the weakest link. Good bye!
Guy #1: This is serious, guy. This is my life. What are you even talking about? The Weakest Link?
Guy #2: Would you like to phone a friend?

This is really pretty, inadvertently turning Baudelaire into a poet.

“unbornwhiskey replied to your link: Blind acceptance is a sign of stupid fools...”
– My response to the idea in that little piece: It’s more profitable for EMI to own/license songs than it is to make new ones. It makes my stomach turn. It’s not that any of this is a new thing (‘this’ roughly meaning re-use, appropriation, remix, reference, allusion,...

Remember that Girl Talk documentary about the remix culture and how MacBooks were going to change the world? By fostering, uh, the urge just to work on other people’s work rather than make your own work? Jeez. It seems likely that there won’t be any new songs or movies within thirty years. Is there a psychological description for nostalgia’s obvious economic puissance? Like, how many times do I...
myTumblr: Bringing Tumblr to the Mac Desktop →
This app is amazing, let me tell you. If you want to hold down more than one account (using more than one email address), Tumblr’s web app is like, ‘Nuh uhh. I can’t go for that.’ The myTumblr is kind of like a Twitter desktop client that lets you log in to multiple accounts, and read their dashboards and post on them.

The Week In Patriarchy →
Topless stripper piñatas in Texas caused outrage from passers by, but were redeemed by their timeless lesson: If you beat a woman with a stick, condoms and liquor fall out. Jacksonville police officers really needed to reach their traffic ticket quota for the month; they tackled and handcuffed a woman in labor in the ER to which they chased her. Louisiana wanted to guilt-trip women out of...

The ‘problem’ with posting on Tumblr isn’t that it takes so long to post. It’s that posting on Tumblr sucks you into Tumblr.

The skip-college advocates’ contention—that, with the economic downturn, a college degree may not be the best investment—has its appeal. Given the high cost of attending college in the United States, the question of whether a student is getting his or her money’s worth tends to loom large with whoever is paying the tuition fees and the meal-plan bills. Even so, one needn’t necessarily be a...
