Me and my brother used to watch this show all the time.

I have had this train of thought before: “I am the only one who can make sure that everybody keeps having a good time.”

About fucking time.

Let’s preserve the web as the hypertext medium it is, the only thing of its kind in the world, and not turn it into another medium for consumption, like we have so many examples of already.Let’s commit to the idea that as computers get faster, and as networks get faster, the web should also get faster.Let’s not allow the panicked dinosaurs of online publishing to trample us as they stampede away from the meteor. Instead, let’s hide in our holes and watch nature take its beautiful course.Most importantly, let’s break the back of the online surveillance establishment that threatens not just our livelihood, but our liberty. Not only here in Australia, but in America, Europe, the UK—in every free country where the idea of permanent, total surveillance sounded like bad science fiction even ten years ago.

Maciej Cegłowski talks about the internet, and of course it is good.

Imagine an editor asking a writer to passionately articulate why a drunk driver hitting and killing a boy on a bicycle is wrong and sad. That would never happen, because a drunk driver killing a boy on a bike is a self-evident tragedy. Asking a writer to exert lots of effort to explain why would be a disservice to the dead, as if his right to life were ever in question, as if our moral obligation to not snuff out our fellow citizens via recklessness were something in need of an eloquent plea.

“This idea that families only live in homes is a very North American, space-based weirdness.” There are few things better in life than a short commute. Still, as the article notes, a lot of our super-dense neighbourhoods lack basic amenities for families. They are seemingly built to be multi building frat houses.

In an alternate universe this was the theme to the last Bond movie.

When I hysterically wept in the back of a cab after the Jays lost their final shot at a 2015 World Series, it was of course because I really wanted them to win, but it was also because I didn’t know how to be upset about not being able to have a baby.

One week, I was stopped for photos six times while perusing comic books in downtown L.A. The next week, I sat faceless in a room of 40 people vying for a menial courier job. I’ve walked a red carpet with $80 in my bank account. Popular YouTube musician Meghan Tonjes said she performed on Vidcon’s MainStage this year to screaming, crying fans without knowing whether she’d be able to afford groceries.

Photoshop for good.

Fisher’s case only makes sense if you assume that people of color are inherently less worthy than white people. How else do you justify an argument that assumes that every white person should have been given a shot before minority students do?

Won’t someone think of the mediocre White girls!

I feel like people worry about the wrong stuff when it comes to raising children.

At least, I assume she’s trolling.

It’s extraordinarily telling that less than a year out of the election, the top three GOP candidates can all be described by the same two words: “Career narcissists.”

An interesting look at what happened to people who ended up internet famous, from Miss South Carolina Teen USA to that couple who danced to that dumb Chris Brown song.
