It’s not a “hate crime.” Classifying it as a hate crime makes it rational.

Anybody who can kill dozens of people is totally insane. If that’s not the definition of insane, there is no definition of insane. What happened today has zero relation to the discourse surrounding political identity, homophobia, or religion.

To…

That’s as funny as my favorite of those absurdist ESPN ads that ran about twenty years ago. One of the newscasters tells the viewer they’ll be right back after this message. The director yells, “And we’re out for five.” The second newscaster looks at the first and says, “I don’t even know you anymore.”

I sense the dawn…

In this age of prestidigital media, we need all the Tolentinion legerdemain we can grasp with our lucky straws.

More easily troubling, or “with troubling easiness?”

It’s six am and I am so hungry now.

(By “we” I mean the Gawker demographic, the educated urban/suburban population.)

Can you translate the article for those who don’t understand it? What does sexting represent? What’s the “effect?”

Are you saying it’s difficult to trust politicians? Or men are having extramarital affairs more than women? Or social media is alienating? I’m being serious, I don’t understand, and I’m working on a piece…

My respect for Charlie Rose plummeted upon discovering this game show host was a guest.

What continually surprises me is that these are just the primaries; nobody’s voting yet. The States is so far right the mere suggestion of a moderate providing state, even hypothetical, is condemned, yikes.

Grazie and merci and arigato and epharisto and tashakur for reminding me I’m not insane; I think I love your comment as much as I love Mahler.

Be careful with this stuff, though; the fact is that you don’t have value, you don’t have worth, and you’re not loved compared to others who “have it together.” If that weren’t the case, then this woman wouldn’t have died. It’s rather easy to write encomia after a suicide. But where are all these people while the…

I know, right? Also if you look at my profile I’ve posted like twelve things and there’s another Wittgenstein reference so that’s around 20% lol

I’m still correct, though.

Is it just me, or have a lot of people forgot how to think?

Bloom’s individual points are fine: yes, hashtag activism is irritating; yes, fatuousness is irritating; yes, hypocritical do-gooders are irritating. For some reason, however, he — like everybody else in the entire world — takes a misstep on the epic journey…

The body is an ineffective diplomat of the penis.

As true as your point is, honestly, though, “having nothing else going for them” should be enough. Many people don’t even have the personal responsibility and emotional maturity to be in health relationships at all.

Exactly. I’m afraid the references will become less subtle, less realistically myriad and contradictory. It didn’t beat Avatar and didn’t do that great in China, and the impact of Lord of the Rings, which I find disappointing in the imagination department (I know, I know) looms.

It says something about the prequels…

Interviewer: “What’s it like being a white director?”
Nolan: “Kickass.”

“That slide is now illegal.”

Understandably.
